russ c Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Hi all, Just thought I`d share some pic`s I took today, now the weathers a bit nicer, of my latest completion: Rodens 1/48 Staggerwing, Finished as one of the options in the box, a UC-43 of the Eighth Air Force, somewhere in England, 1943 Mostly OOB, but I added a roof to the Wheel Wells, made a `A` frame and spar that was missing from the kit The build was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be, with only the transparencies giving any real trouble As you may have guessed, it`s another one of my Brother in Laws kits I`ve built for him.... ...hence it`s not South East Asia, Indochina or Pacific/CBI . Hope you enjoy, thanks for looking Cheers Russ 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzby061 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Nice work indeed. Not a bad kit, our ATC squadron did one last year for the wing modelling competition. Can't see any fingerprints on yours! Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Henry Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 It looks like you did a super job on an unusual subject with a kit that is not the best. Thanks for posting. Bob H. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viking Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Lovely job on that Olive Drab finish Russ, it's not easy to do and get looking used and faded like that. It's an interesting looking aeroplane too, must dig mine out of the stash! Cheers John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
