Basosz Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 The original plan for this GB was a diorama from Indiana Jones where he's hanging outside the tank and his daddy is inside but that was way back when. Then some other projects got in the way and I figured that a 289 Cobra could do the trick. Lots of those been on TV or in movies. I might still do that, but I figured that I'd better get some other stuff out of the way first so this is what I finally came up with while waiting for paint for my Fw190 in the STGB. Box shot: Insides: What I had done pre-GB but way below 25% so eligible I believe: Result of yesterday's efforts. The platform to the captain's chair is dry fitted. Only the walls are glued Not the best fit for this kit. Had to do some creative and extensive sanding to get the walls to fit but it worked. Next is a bath and some primer to see what needs fixing. Comments appreciated. Greetz Basosz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonb13 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Cool choice! Do you get figures with it as well, and how good is the likeness? It looks a good size, what is it, about a foot in diameter? J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From pics of built-up kits I've seen, the likeness isn't stellar but at least gives an idea of who you're looking at. The size is indeed about 30 cm.

Madam I'm Adam Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Love it! If the figures look like the box images they are at least in the right direction. One to watch Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
