I've been wanting to start this one for a long time. Originally I got this to do Fat Alberts, Blue Angels C-130, Older sibling. a C-121 Super Connie in Blue Angels livery. But I've changed paths and have decided to go with the original EC-121 Warning Star. I don't know if anyone has ever done this type, in 1/72 and certainly not in 1/48. So as usual, I'll take that dang road less travelled, one of these days I've GOT to get better maps. and do one of these beauties in the Navy Livery(Still gotsta keep in the the family. This is a "draped" Vac model. Absolutely no detail (panel lines, door and window openings etc.) Now this is actually a positive. I don't have to correct canyon sized lines, whether correct or not, usually not. And SHOULD make it easier to put new lines in. The kit does come with a somewhat decent resin set, but this also, will have to be augmented some. I am going to do the flight deck but nothing else in the interior. One, you won't see it, and two most importantly make it easier to put weights in the nose to keep this from being a tail sitter and not crush the resin gear. I will paint it in the white, engine gray, fluorescent orange livery and see if I can finagle the white lettering on the tail and the other normal decal bits from my spares box. Thank God for spares! With luck I might jut get this done this Century! So pull up stool this party is about to get underway!
