mamo104 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Hello guys ..... a question .... Who does not know the AIR AMERICA movie?? Well I present a PC-6 Air America, the American airline, secretly controlled by the CIA, which has operated in the South-East Asia during the Vietnam War. The model is in 1/48 scale, the RODEN, quality good, with panels in the negative, and with the decals Air America. I added the rivets, as in the original mold were not present, marking them first with the riveter of Trumpeter, and subsequently ripassandoli one to one with an awl, and after washing with tempering all the panels and rivets were accented. The base is made of plastic of EDUARD, and after it has been colored, dirty, and washed, was ready to accept the model. Not happy I bought a can of Tamiya dedicated personnel of World War II, with a surprise inside ..... a beautiful Willys Jeep, not advertised on the cover of the box. With several changes to the sketches and a color in keeping with the Willys, you can make a nice diorama. Then just add some garbage and Verlinden some cash and you're done. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russ c Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Lovely, very nice job ! Did you use the kit decals for the blue bits or paint them, I ask because I toyed with the idea of doing one, to go with my Peacemaker, but was put off by previous experiences with Roden decals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamo104 Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 Thanks to everyone for the compliments!! russ c- I painted everything with the airbrush, with many Tamiya masking with tape, and I had not even considered the fact of using the kit decals.

tonyot Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 What a lovely model which brings back some nice memories,.....I made my first ever flight in a Pilatus Turbo Porter which led to my first parachute jump over Netheravon with the Army Sports Parachute Association! You`ve got the character of the aircraft off to a tee, brilliant, All the best Tony O 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean1968 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Great execution of (in my opinion) a greatly under estimated plane. I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
