This is for the ‘older’ crowd here 🙂 When i was a young lad the movie ‘Bat 21’ came out. I was fascinated by the two aircraft in the film, the EB-66 Destroyer and the Cessna O-2a. About the same time i found both aircraft in my local hobby store. The Airfix O-2 and Italeri Eb-66. The kits was too hard to handle for me at the time and i remember the disapointment with the finished models. Fast forward 30-some years later and the two planes was still on my mind - kind of unfinished business. I got the long OOP Airfix O-2 on auction way too expensive, but luckily Italeri re-issued the EB-66. In the early fall of 2023 i built the O-2. What a hassle! I used so much putty, had to scratch build the interior, pollish wondows and rescribe panel lines before i could finish this charming little bird. Not at all perfect, but it came out ok i think. A month ago i started the EB-66. Not as tough as the O-2, but still a lot of putty, rescribing and some modification to the engine intakes and refueling probe. Still a good feeling to finally be able to add those two birds to my collection. Hope you will enjoy the photos 🙂
