I have here a Black Sun Models of a BV-38 in 1/72 scale. Some of you might recognize it as a famous BIRD in a FAMOUS movie of the 80’s … but that is just a coincidence… or is it ?
All Resin… worth its weight in American Cash ! and worth your time…
Beautiful craftsmanship… Molding is crisp with recessed panel lines…
Really nice decals… Vacuform canopies comes with Plugs to help cutting them. only had a few minor bubbles…on my copy… and peoples luv it !
The Spelling error in the Name Plate was fixed… to reflect the proper spelling of ARK, I took it from the InterNet as is… and didn’t spot it right away till someone Pointed it out… Am I bad ?
Nice looking model but the kit at $115 plus shipping is too pricey for me. A few years ago FSM had a story about reworking the toy BV-38 issued by Disney so it would look like a model. It took a bit of work but it looks okay.
227, I always wondered if anyone made this aircraft. Loved it ever since the movie came out. You did an excellent job on it. Thanks for sharing with us…Harv
I was going to order the toy from Disney Store but… at Xmas Black Sun Models Released it and I just could not turn down my GRAIL KIT… it is a bit pricey but … I had it made in no time… and saved my a lot of aggravations… very happy with my purchase ! but I understand your reservations… it’s not for everybody in deed… which is a shame… maybe in time it will come down…
take care all and Thanks again for the great comments !
But I never could suspend my disbelief enough to wrap my brain around the fact that it had fixed landing gear. All that modern innovation and big tree-trunk like main wheel struts?
