Mike Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I have one of these that I picked up at E-Day a few years back after some serious haggling with the PlusModel guys, despite none of us speaking a common language! Now you've gone and set the gold standard with your build! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youngtiger1 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Just saw this and I'm liking what I see. You are doing a great job. There is an EC-121 at a museum that is about an hour away and it's a good size aircraft...and sexy curves I didn't realize this kit has been released again and I'm not familiar with PlusModels. I'll have to look into this and see what else they created. Well, you keep up the good work! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caerbannog Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Very nice work. I just wonder - is it possible to build the civil version from this box? Sure the decals are for Warning Stars only - but how about the rest? René Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquatarkus10 Posted December 3, 2016 Author Share Posted December 3, 2016 Hi to all My last update: I masked the model and I prepared for the final version. I purchased the decals (Caracal) related to the Navy version: Warning Star Lockheed EC-121P BU.No. 141 325 VW-13, NAS PATUXENT RIVER 1962 for more info & pics:http://www.adventurephotomodels.com Thanks for your attention and for watching this work George 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
