Giorgio N Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Speaking of other potential candidates for a cheap good 1/72 kit for this GB, the Italeri F-100 would also be a good one. It's inspired by the Esci kit, that still is the most accurate 1/72 F-100 on the market and features the same nice recessed panel lines and good shapes. Unfortunately the current Italeri box does not include decals for a SEA scheme aircrafts (but has decals for an NM or silver painted aircraft based in Vietnam) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) well an italeri f-104 is on its way EDIT or not apparently seller emailed back to say its out of stock, nver had that from them before, If it's out of stock the listing will say so, oh well they have said should be a short wait Edited November 16, 2015 by PhantomBigStu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAG058 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Well that's me done with this GB, two entry's in the gallery. Thoroughly enjoyed it and I would love to do a third build, however I'm coming up to a busy period and won't have time. Thanks to everyone involved, I can't wait for the Vietnam III GB! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob G Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I second Enzo's vote for the Academy Dragonfly - seriously lovely little kit. I have 2 one mostly painted yet in permanent hold on the shelf of doom, and another as yet untouched. Hmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Vale Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 37 days of group build remaining. I better get a move on with the Huey. I was just thinking that - I need to prime some Crusader bits. Hoping to get a lot done the week before Christmas when I'm not working. <-- As if.

DAG058 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 There is a documentary series on Disvovery History at the moment called 'The Vietnam War'. It's really worth a watch, some great footage and the soundtrack is excellent! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 just stumbled across a book I forgot I owned, Osprey USMC Vietnam Phantom Units, gave it flick few, bad idea, now want to do one of them, which would work out very expensive with the hasegawa kit+decals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Built one of those a while ago, actually a long time ago in a VMF-333 scheme. Hopefully sometime in the future I can start adding F-4's to my Nam era theme again.
