I have an affinity for STOL/FAC/COIN/ aircraft. So versatile, so interesting to build and look at and, in this case, a long and storied career from 1965 to today. I have a few others in the stash (Dragonfly, Do 27, Cessna) that I hope to get to this winter. For this GB I will be building a the Bronco and, while I would like to double the GB with the Asia 80, I am not sure that I can. There isn't enough information to confirm that the Indonesian aircraft is from the 1980s or earlier. If anyone can shed some light...?
If that isn't the case then I have whole bunch of other options available on the off-market decal sheet: Venezuelan, Philippine, USA, Germany...
I get it going as soon as I have established a rhythm since I have just returned to the bench after a 2 month absence. Here are some pictures.
This new Revell kit looks promising. Clear instructions, nicely moulded plastic with no flash, decent detail. Good looking clear parts too. Let's hope it all fits together!
No flash that I can see...
Decals...I'll be using the kit supplied stencils as well.
This'll be fun!
