Kinetic 1/48 MQ-9B


Recommended Posts

This is the Kinetic/Skunkworks 1/48 MQ-9B.  For a very simple aircraft overall, the kit is marginal.  There is a fair bit of shimming and work needed to keep the assembly square once done.  I had planned to build this one OOB, but almost all the pictures I found were of very clean aircraft.  Without much weathering or surface detail, I found it hard to add much visual appeal.  So I decided to go for the intake/exhaust covers and RBF tags for some visual appeal.

Nice work! :thumbsup:   Excellent job getting a nice drape on the RBF tags.

 

I built that too, definitely needed work to get it all together. The Skunkworks version had walkway decals where the starboard-side decal was simply flipped from the port wing, complete with backwards text.
