Hobby Craft Banshee (1/72 Banjo)


Recommended Posts

This is #17 for the year. I had built the same kit in different livery by Academy a couple years ago, so I knew what to expect. In fact 99% of the decals are left over from that kit.

It represents a bird from VF-11 off of the USS Coral Sea circa 1956. Hope you like it.

I certainly do like your "big" Banshee. You don't see this kit made very often. I have done the Airfix one, and have the Sword kit in the stash but would like to do this one now as well!

Yes...there is a red surround that forms an anti-glare panel (if you will) and then there are the 1/32 white stripes. The three windows in front all have the 1/32 striping as does the "bubble" part of the canopy.

Glad you liked it.

riffraff... I'll keep my eyes open for your completed post.
