russ c Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Hi everyone, finally finished my attempt at building a Electric Intruder from the Wild Weasel boxing of the 1/48 Revell/Monogram kit Although not done as a Wild Weasel as I wanted to do a Vietnam aircraft Used a mixture of the kit decals and a few from the stash to represent an aircraft of VMCJ-1, Marines, Da Nang, South Vietnam, circa 1969-72 The actual aircraft is an option in the box but in US Navy markings Apart from a little detailing on the canopy frame, some slightly altered antenna and drilling out some of the various air ducts it`s what`s in the box Paint slapped on with hairy stick as usual Hope you enjoy looking at, Cheers Russ 55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabio Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Nice! Best one of these I've seen built up, how does it go together? I have one and have been wondering whether to give it a go 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin-42 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Very nice. I tried to re-acquaint myself with brushing lately-abject failure. My hats of to you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngstROM Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Easily the best Intruder build I've seen; I found this thread on a wee tablet thingy and just had to leg it sharpish to a PC with decent size screen to see it properly. And...it's absolutely perfect! -all the way! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russ c Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 Nice! Best one of these I've seen built up, how does it go together? I have one and have been wondering whether to give it a go Thanks, It doesn`t go together too bad, there`s some big gaps in the undercarraige wells which I filled with PVA, quite a bit of filing and a smear of filler here and there on the airframe.

Breaker Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Nicely done Russ, I thought it was airbrushed till you said otherwise. What did you use for your main grey? I really like the tone of yours and I've been struggling to find a decent match for a 'nam F-4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
