I built this 1/48 scale resin /metal model last year for a lawyer who was involvedwith the long term litigation resulting from the actual canceled program.

Here are some more pictures:

Whoa! It ain’t everyday you see one of these built up!

Pretty nice job, especially if it’s like most Collect-aire kits. ie; Bow-wow! They are not easy to build into a nice display piece. I really like the close-up of the cockpit.

Thanks…I had my hands full building this kit. But the overall sentiment was still a positive one. I sent some pictures to the Collect Aire website and the webmaster actually used some for the A-12 ! [:)]

Very nice boybuddho. The question is “Will ya build another”??? The display stand/name plate add a nice touch.

Thanks Mike…but I think one is enough! I didn’t realize resin kits needed so much cosmetic work…sheeesh

Boybudd,
Your quite welcome.
I have a P-39 that is all resin and is done in 1/32. I am not near the kit so I cant say who did it. Its on the tip of my tongue though[:p] See…LOL [:D]
I am actually looking forward to building it one of these winters(its a nice stay in side project)
