[smokinguns3]

Air yes i know but figured if the molds havent ghanged then what the heck, I’ll bee keepin the box and instruction though. Thanks for the great comments guys.

Well heres the engine all finished and yes i know the tubing should be painted chrome or some thing that resemblesthe wrapping they use on them i just didnt feel like painting them and knowing that the paint wouldnt stick any ways, besides i think it gives it a little contrast.

Well most of you all know this kit from a previase post, well ive started it and so far so good the one issue ive had is that the intake and engine dont have alignment pins on them and the plastc is real hard a stringie. So far ive ot the cockpit finished i used the ip decals that came with my 1/48 AM SBC2 and they worked ok i think. Ive also started on the engine and boy these old istructions are a far cry from what we have (see attached pic) now there really isnt any spacific spot to place the parts, but thats what happens when you build a kit this old.

Saw one of these kit’s on evil-bay, for $25.00 yesterday and one at my lhs for $30.00, but i’m still waiting for Dragon’s P-51 and P-47 before i buy another kit

HA HA very funny guys LOL jeebus are you shure this exact kit is a first release, it came out in 1973. The newer kits use the same molds.

Smokin… the engine is sick… very nice.

Why does Ed rise you so hard? What did you do to him? Did I miss a nasty post somewhere along the line?

Hey.Where are the smileys???

[smokinguns3]

Thanks guys, Marc you know Ed LOL Didnt do to much more sanding then anything else this platic is vary hard and brittle, so far havent had any real problems with this kit. I figured it being 33 yrs old it would all be worped to heck, In fact this kit is going beter than some of the newer kits ive built HA go figure.

LoL!! Ditto. Looks good there Rob!! WE gonna see more pics of this before I drop off the boards for a bit?

[smokinguns3]

Thank you guys, maybe ive got to run to Hobbytown and get some stuff’s.

Ok ive got the fusalge painted gloss blk and have to wait for that to dry i’ll probably paint it tommarow. Iam real happy the way this is turning out nice and seamless no wing root to fill thank god. So once its painted i’ll have to go back and paint the gear bays and the speed brake reseces.
