JohnB Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 All done with this one. This is my 3rd Bardahl Special although one of them represents the a/c as it is today (and is numbered as "3" instead of "8") and the 1st two represent it back in the 60's. None are identical. I again used a Revell kit with appropriate mods such as a replacement prop and spinner, removal of the fuselage tank and a couple of others. I really like this particular a/c (I figured y'all figured that out by now!) but I think this will be the last Bardahl Special I build. I hope you like the results of my efforts. Remember please: Click on the 1st photo for best resolution and to view as a slide show. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 John I'm just blown away .. your Bardahl Special looks fantastic - absolutely a perfect. It's just incredible to comprehend how you turn out so many 32nd scale kits and everyone is built to your high standards of fit and finish. 🏆 Thanks for the group Photo - what a fantastic collection - I hope they have a display space just to themselves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Peter. They are all in a display cabinet together with several other racer builds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Great build. It's great to see the evolution of the same aircraft at different times in its lifespan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Carl. I agree. Very interesting and it makes building the same a/c at different time periods nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landlubber Mike Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Wow, that came out great John! That color couldn't have been easy to get such a perfect finish. Can I ask what brand paint you used? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I ask what brand paint you used? Thanks Mike. The undersides and part of the uppers are Gunze Mr. Color Gloss White acrylic but I ran out and finished it with good ol' Testor's Gloss White. I was a little concerned the Testor's enamel might not "agree" with the acrylic but it did just fine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
