TheRealMrEd Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Well, as promised over on the YRF-84F Build Thread here are the finished pics: Again, thanks to fellow modeler Bill Dye, who inspired this build. As usual, it's not perfect, but it's better than the one I had before... Ed 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_W Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Beautiful build, looks like something from a 1950s comic book. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John R Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Nice work on an interesting a/c Seeing your reference to the YF-96A. Did you know that I had built one.

RidgeRunner Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 (edited) @TheRealMrEd Thats a neat job, Ed. I like it, a lot! What I admire about your work is that you tackle the unusual, using all of your considerable modelling skill and knowledge to get results such as this. It would be more of a modelling desert without your like inspiring us. Martin 8 hours ago, John R said: Nice work on an interesting a/c Seeing your reference to the YF-96A.

Like Ed, I love your interest in these prototypes and experimentals. My sentIments above apply equally.

TheRealMrEd Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 Thank you all for the kind comments! I'll confess, my first love in modeling has always been conversions, dating back to around 1971, when I converted an Airmodel vacuform F9f-2 or whatever straight wing Panther jet to an F9F-8 or so Cougar swept wing jet. Ah, the discovery of plastic card and Squadron Green Putty! I still like to keep the hand in, particularly after a run of more or less "normal" models. I'll have to see what I can come up with in future.... Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRealMrEd Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 Thanks Dennis, appreciate that. John, I believe I'm going to take a break from BMF or NMF aircraft for I bit. I think I'll go back to a decades old shelf queen, an XB-40 bomber escort. Ed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
