North American YF-93A


Recommended Posts

My build of the Anigrand 1/72 kit, using AK Interactive's Xtreme Metallics, not without problems. This model represents the first of the two prototypes, in her original configuration, as tested at Edwards AFB in 1949.

Very nice. What problems did you have - kit or paints? I have this in 144. Yet to build but hoping to do so soon. I use AK Xtreme metallics too. Find them consistently excellent.

The kit was pretty straightforward, although I should have made more room in the aft fuselage for the jetpipe, and there were bubbles at the extremities of the flying surfaces. I've only recently started to use AK Xtreme paints, and there has been a learning curve - problems with the finish have been very common. I find it terribly easy to put too much on.
