russ c Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Hi Everyone, Heard a rumour (and I hope I`ve not been the victim of an elaborate hoax) on another site that Revell are going to release this baby later this year,so I thought I`d show you an earlier attempt I did of the kit. It`s about 90% from the box, done to represent a version from the early days of the Vietnam war Decals are all from the stash With cowl shutters and weapons from unused items from a Tamiya kit Undercarraige legs from my lads Esci kit Scratch built a new instrument panel, tarted the seats up a bit, emptied the `blue room` and put some flack curtains and cargo hardpoints on the floor, boxed in the wheel wells..... and embellished the antenna on the canopy roof. Keep meaning to find a better prop` for it one day, but I`m fairly happy with the result, if Revell do issue it I intend to do an `Electric Spad` next. Hope you enjoy looking at. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyC Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Nice work - I did this for the KUTA IV build a couple of years ago and it ended up as a bit of a 'Franken-Spad'...Matchbox fuselage, ESCI wings and Monogram prop and wheels and weapons nicked from the spares box. That Matchbox wing was unusable in my kit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Old soldiers never die. Matchbox 1/48) A real beauty for a good price. Well executed. Regards, Dirk The Netherlands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCinLA Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Really nice work on that hoary old collection of spare plastic. If they do re-release it, and you do get one, Cobra Company makes an excellent resin cockpit, and Falcon did a very nice vacuform canopy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
