So I’ve ordered a hasegawa f-18c plus a cf-188a conversion kit from wolfpack designs and decals from leading edge. So if I got time I’ll try to add a cf-18 to this build.
THAT’s why that random guy kicked me in the seat of my pants yesterday!!! [:D]
I’m in, won’t be starting until the summer though, but I will be lurking until then. I’m narrowed down to 2 options, 1/48 DH Vampire or 1/72 Canadair Sabre. I also have a possible what-if in the works, not letting the details out yet though. [whstl]
GRIZZLY 6x6 WIP. it is based coated with tamiya acrylic NATO green and i will use NATO black for the camo. don’t have all the fiddly stuff on to make it easire to mask and less likely, in the case of mirrors, to knock off. will mask with silly putty (first attempt) or tape. vision block glass will be clear green perhaps darkened a bit. probably some road dirt on the wheels and belly may try and see what a raw umber wash will look like. looks good on diesel locomotive.
The Revell H-34G kit has the straight ‘V’ style landing gear on the sprue which perfect for U.S Navy and USMC helo’s but I’m pretty sure the Army stayed with the bent gear style through out it service . I’ve been buying from seller’s on ebay those Revell kits so I can build a few different versions for the Navy and Marine Corps birds . I wish Italeri would simply leave both types of landing gear on the sprue … [8o|]
just finished one GB, getting ready to paint the helicopter from hell and will finish up another GB on friday (not the helo). i need a bit more practice with silly putty masking and my airbrush before adding camo to my GRIZZLY but the plan is to have it finished by the end of the month.
