JohnB Posted August 16, 2022 Posted August 16, 2022 This looks to be a interesting kit to build. 1/48 and comes with PE and clear acetate parts. I plan to do the silver scheme. Stay tuned! 4
Peterpools Posted August 16, 2022 Posted August 16, 2022 John Terrific choice for your next build. I'll be front and center, start to finish 1
JohnB Posted August 16, 2022 Author Posted August 16, 2022 They give us two styles of seats. The frame for the second seat is very delicate and obviously it will be easy to break when cleaning out the flash. 5
belugawhaleman Posted August 17, 2022 Posted August 17, 2022 Interesting choice........odd looking bird! Will be watching. 3
GazzaS Posted August 17, 2022 Posted August 17, 2022 Interesting. Guessing that this is one of those prototypes that were eclipsed by the jet age. Were you in the USN, John? 4

Were you in the USN, John? Yes, eclipsed by the jets. I think they built something like 10 or 12 and only 1 survives today. No Gaz, I wasn't in the Navy. 3
Peterpools Posted August 17, 2022 Posted August 17, 2022 John Your so right, both seats appear to be very delicate and need a tender touch. 1
KevinM Posted August 18, 2022 Posted August 18, 2022 That was fast and it's looking quite Nice John. 3

Peterpools Posted August 18, 2022 Posted August 18, 2022 John Nice progress on the front office and so glad no issues at all. She does have a semi Skyraider feel and look. 2
Bomber_County Posted August 18, 2022 Posted August 18, 2022 A nice step change John, never seen one of these built. ……. 2

JohnB Posted August 19, 2022 Author Posted August 19, 2022 Coming right along. Had a couple glitches getting the fuselage & innards to match up but corrected now. 4
Peterpools Posted August 19, 2022 Posted August 19, 2022 John Nice progress for sure. Always hard to work out the best method to build a kit from a company whose kits are somewhat unfamiliar. 1

Their instruction diagrams could use some tweaking as they leave a lot of room for guessing. I've had to pop it apart twice to re-attach parts correctly. 🤪 1
JohnB Posted August 21, 2022 Author Posted August 21, 2022 Making more progress despite my foul ups! 2
Peterpools Posted August 21, 2022 Posted August 21, 2022 John Looking mighty good and backtracking seems the norm for us over 70 crowd😉 1

Peterpools Posted August 22, 2022 Posted August 22, 2022 John Amazing progress as always. Your abilities to work so consistently at this level is a talent I wish I had but don't. 1

Peterpools Posted August 23, 2022 Posted August 23, 2022 John Right with you for sure. Nothing like staying safe and sound for us seniors.
