Planet Models flapjack RFI

[JohnB]

I'm calling this one DONE! When I was getting ready to start this build I figured it would be fairly easy but NOT SO! Actually it became a large PITA towards the end, especially the vacform clear parts. I Painted the exterior with Colourcoats GSB and the innards with Testors Interior Green I mixed up using their Yellow Zinc Chromate, Beret Green and Flat Black. Decals are from the kit but the national insignia is from Aeromaster.  I looked at quite a few photos of the real thing and also some builtups and found there were several variations in the markings and the airframe. I just picked the one I liked best and went from there. I hope you like it. 🙂

I wonder why this build hasn't gotten any comments? Uninteresting subject? 🙄

Well, first I’ve noticed this post.  Read the headline and thought you built this:

But dagnabbit John!  It’s so damned odd I had to have one and just placed an order for the kit from Super Hobby.  

Your build is spectacular! 
 

Will look great next to my oddball Cutlass.  
Looking forward to this one.  
 

edit:  I just realized yours is the 1/48 kit.  I ordered the 1/32 kit.

Thanks Scott. I'm glad you like it. I remember that old flap jack kit. Never built one though. 🙂

I never did either. Went to price them on eBay years back.  And it looks like I won’t!
