Silver Fox Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I picked this old kit up at Croppers in Bridlington a couple of months ago, its always well worth a look if you are in the area. I wanted to do something a bit different to an overall Gloss Sea Blue machine as I have done both a -5 Panther and a -9 Cougar so far this year. so the alternative markings provided fitted the bill. I found some photos online of the machine in the decals, 126275 of VU-1 based at China Lake in the late 1950s but these images showed a different tail colour when -75 was used for ejection seat trials so I went with that. The camera windows were plated over, which give it a much sleeker look that the standard photo nose. I'm been trouble with Flickr inserting very small images and losing definition when I enlarge them. I seem to have resolved now., Thanks for looking. 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Great job on her Andy one of my favourite Monogram kit's,did this scheme a while back,I,m down there week after next so glad Cropper's is still up and running the shop seemed to be in a decline over the last few year's which is a shame.

Silver Fox Posted May 29, 2019 Author Share Posted May 29, 2019 Cheers, re Croppers, it has declined but I was in in February and it had got better. There is also the 'Mighty Lancer' near the harbour where the Marks and Spencer was. Mainly wargames but has a fair few kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
