Popular Post russ c Posted September 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 18, 2020 Howdy Everyone Finished this one on my last day off work last week so thought you wouldn`t mind me sharing a few pic`s My attempt at ICM`s 1/48 Skymaster kit Built completely from the box with just seat belts and whip aerial added Trouble free build, used the kit decals which are a but thin and fiddley to move around and I`ve got the feeling are of a warbird as opposed to a `nam bird Not much else to say Hope you enjoy, thanks for looking Cheers Russ 103 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Mike, there`s actually a really good walkaround on this site for reference if you really want to do the works, I just made a simplified approximation from paper and tin foil. Glad you like it though Cheers Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devo Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 (edited) Nice job Russ. That actual aircraft is owned by the Temora Aviation Museum in Australia. The kit markings are based on this aircraft, which represents a Skymaster flown by Flying Officer Dave Robson(callsign Jade 07) who was a R.A.A.F. FAC attached to the USAF during the Vietnam War. He flew over 240 missions in the 0-2A. P.S. I think the ends of the tails are painted dark green...not black.

Viking Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Top quality again Russ, looks stunning. It is an interesting looking aerploane and I'm now feeling the temptation of getting one after seeing this. Cheers John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry1954 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 That is a very impressive result. You have captured the look well and the subtle weathering looks spot on. Always liked the 0-2 from when I had the Airfix version as a lad. I must say the ICM offering is tempting. Well done! Terry 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan B Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Another very nice one for your collection Russ. I can remember as a very young lad getting the Airfix kit and have liked the type ever since. I must say that I might have to pull one of these from my Stock to do a "build review" on it Duncan B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Dyck Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Yes one of my favorites! Finally ICM brought this amazing kit! Finally ! As always very very nice ! Bought this kit for my neighbor, who is still 84, but still modelling. I will build this amazing model too. For sure. Are there any other good decal sheets available? perfect pic’s as always. May be some figurine will give the scene more life. Could not the problem for you. all the best Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
