Bill_S Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I started this one for the Vietnam GB over on LSP. I didn't finish on time, but I finally got it done. Aires cockpit, Sierra Hotel intakes and burner cans. Eduard PE everything. Decals from an old Microscale sheet. Though I had prepainted PE instrument panels, I think the Eduard ones look grainy; I painted the bare ones in the Aires set. Perhaps of interest: the seam between the upper fuselage and the wing root had a significant gap. I stuck a balloon up the tail end and inflated it while the gap filling CA dried. It worked better than I thought it would! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted September 19, 2018 Administrators Share Posted September 19, 2018 Bill, that's STUNNING! One thing I'd like to do here is a Vietnam GB, once we all get settled in and such. I think that'd be an absolute winner in my books. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
