Vingtor Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I was inspired by the Hot Shots movie to build this Gnat. The model is more or less OOB. I put a cover over the rear cockpit and added canopy opening struts - both are features on film aircraft. The pilot is chopped together from various Hasegawa and Monogram figures, while the Garfield attached inside the canopy is made from Milliput.
