Testors Cessna Skymaster


Recommended Posts


Another build for the guy that flew the bird.

This is the old Testors pushmipullyu. I did this as a pretty much straight OOB build a few years back and I recall doing a lot of filling and sanding to get things to fit properly.

Still seeing a few seams i missed...


Panel lines were done with a sharp pencil and the rivets were highlighted by a light sanding over the paint. One good thing about all those raised lines I suppose..

The base is a chunk of insulating foam cut with a hotwire.

The concrete pad is sheet styrene scribed into panels, painted a tasteful cement grey, scrubbed with pastels and caulked with a syringe filled with thick black paint.

Grass is railroad static grass applied over a nice muddy brown base colour.

I cheated the extra windows using the kit decals at least partly because I didn't have time to do a full blown interior for the model and I am lazy.

3 inch cables were used to tie the plane down because, well it's windy around here. :shutup:


This is an ANG bird so it shouldn't have weapons onboard but the customer wanted them so there you go.


Quick and dirty, cheap and cheerful, customer was happy, I got paid, and as they say, Robert is your fathers brother!. :undecided:


Right, go ahead and start the poo flinging! :poo:
