Cheers Bas`, no they`re cluster bomb dispensers, the small bombs are either white phosphorous or tear gas. Along with the napalm tanks I guess it was equipped for `Area Denial` probably on SAR mission. 1
MRMLA Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 OK, just gazing, again and again! So nice Spad and not seen very often this one! Excellent! 1
stevej60 Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Brilliant take on the old Matchbox kit Russ,superb job! 1
Don Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 What a stunning build Russ. A real sows ear of a kit and you created a silk purse! Bravo. 1
phildagreek Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 That's alright that Russ, very smart & nicely photographed. You do knock them out pretty steady at a high quality. Good effort. 1
ForestFan Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Another excellent build Russ, I do like this. I'm surprised there isn't a more modern tooling of this type in 1/48 & 1/72 for us lesser mortals! cheers 1

Michael51 Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 Great work on a kit I love. I have built that kit at least a dozen times, but never to such a fine standard. Michael 1

Thanks Lindan, yeah I`ve posted a few more like this over the years, sorry I can`t tell you an easy way of finding them, but if you search for the phrases: Indochina, Laos, Secret war, Flying Dragon, Air America, Air Commando etc, you should find a few of them. Or for less common aircraft like Bronco, Mohawk etc try searching for the aircraft names. Thanks again, Russ Also: Thanks to every one for posting such great feed back, appreciated 1
Spitfire31 Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Fabulous model. You've really captured the aggressive look of that heavy brute. Kind regards, Joachim 1

Revell re-released it under their label a few years ago if you're interested. Cracking model, Russ. I admire your focus on the SEA theatre. 1
