Small but accurate 70s kit by Airfix. A resin cockpit set was added and the panel lines re-scribed. I used the kit front and rear windscreen but replaced all the other clear parts as they were thick and distorted. Finished with home-made Thai counter-insurgency decals.
Mike - a real beauty! One of theese days I’m going to build one too, and then I hope it looks somewhat like your model! Great job, thanks for sharing and have a nice day
I’m not sure if that is the same kind of plane but when I saw the pics I thought immediately of “Bat 21”, the movie with Gene Hackman as a downed pilot in Vietnam.
Absolutely incredible work! I know what this kit looks like from the box, and to bring it to this level of beauty requires exceptional skills. Excellent work!
Thanks ikar01. The upper windows in the kit are thick, distorted and don’t fit particularly well, so I cut them all out and inserted a new section of clear plastic, sanded to shape and polished. The separate panes were then masked with tape, so I ended up with clear, flush windows.
