Very nicely built and painted model with great background and photography. Well done!. Looks very realistic apart from one small thing. I see the manufacturers have done it as a museum piece with a LIMITED placard on the door. This indicates a modern CASR Part 132 restriction. It's inspiring me to do my Airfix one but there do not appear to be any 1/72 decals for this one. My kit ones are unusable. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phildagreek Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 That's very smart Russ! I've got one that is slowly moving up the "to do" pile, you've made a cracking job of that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Hi Russ, another stunner! Congrats! I love your base and the background photo: landings and take offs must have been dicey in these mountains! Superb model. JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Law Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Great build Russ. This is another one I bought recently. I plan to build it once my BOB obsession eases off. I feel it is pity the doors are moulded closed. They are too fine to cut them out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbob Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Outstanding finish- has just enough "detail" to bring it to life, but without looking like it has movie makeup on. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-32 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 BAT-21 memories are coming flooding back, the scene where Glover is falling asleep heading for the tree and only just pulls up in time - classic. Great build, really looks the part. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger331 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Another of your masterful Vietnam-War themed builds, Russ. I love the little O-2A Skymaster and you have done a great job, as always, with this kit. Well Done, Sir ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
