Chris Jephcott Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I'm slightly late to the party, but having finished the Corsair, my mind has now turned to starting something new. And as a coincidence, this Group Build is running, so I'm going to join in with this: I picked it up at Telford for the bargain price of £25 from Antics I believe, and I've always fancied making this kit. It's an ex-Academy kit, obviously spruced up and redressed with loads of etch and masks by Eduard - so hopefully it'll keep me busy enough during my limited spare days at the moment! So when you open the box, this is what you get: Plastic: Decals: [/url Etch and masks: I'm going to do her in the Markings of Chug-A-Lug, as depicted on the box art. Chug-A-Lug was a B24D of the 98th BG, the ship was used in a low-level operation against Ploesti during which the wing was damaged by a balloon cable and a crew member was killed. However, the aircraft eventually ended up flying 105 missions before being taken back to the US to participate in a War Bonds tour. Why this marking? I've just always had a thing about desert camouflage on aircraft and think, if I can do it justice, that this will be a great build for me. It's a bit smaller than my normal scales at the moment, but I hope that won't make any problems for me! Onwards and upwards! Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
