Saw Marc (wing_nut) share his P-59 with y’all so I thought I’d share my Fireball also finished for the “First Jets Out of the Box GB”.
This is B11 from the VF-66 Firebirds circa 1945. Following excerpt from Squadron’s MINI in action FR-1 Fireball: “The squadron was commissioned with the sole intent of getting the Fireball into action against the Japanese Kamikazes as quickly as possible. The war ended; however, before the Fireballs could get into action.”
Forgot to put the nose weight in so I’ve adhered her to the display shelf in the office with some reuseable white putty adhesive (not pictured). I decided to go with the decals from the kit only rather than creating the red 11s on the cowling and tail as some references suggested they were. Stayin’ OOTB. It just so happened that a small piece of black bead wire and some monofilament found its way into the box for the antenna assembly. Yeeeahhh. Riiiiight.[;)]
