rob Lyttle Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Just finished off this little gem Can't find a bad word to say about it - a joy to build. The tyres have flat spots on them AND rectangular axles and holes to align the flats with the ground surface! And it works! COOL... I rearranged the prop fitting so I could foil the joined fuselage without the prop in the way. The prop fitting worked a treat - couldn't resist giving it a blow for a photo Been finding out about Col.Robin Olds . Some models of of his Lockheed Lightning"ScatII , Scat III" Well, it turns out Scat IV was a 51-D 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob Lyttle Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) Hi Gerrard. No, the stick was a fail. You too? It was easy to make a sprue replacement. I did a new aerial too. I just finished a f101 Voodoo in 1/48, so you can imagine this was a bit fiddly in comparison. Couple more; Might try some more in the series. Are they all good? Thanks for taking a look Oh yeah, the Col. Olds thing . I thought about doing a"Scat IV", but decided to go with the decals supplied for convenience. Maybe next time...

stevehnz Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 The stick & the aerial, two of the constants with this kit, I think almost everyone has grief with them. Steve. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
