Pete in a shed Posted October 29, 2024 Posted October 29, 2024 Hi all. I built this some time back, but as I dont recall seeing one of these on here I thought I would post it, Its from the Azur kit, very short run so lots of filling and sanding was needed all through the build. its finished using humbrol 27002 and Xtra Color varnishes. I hadnt seen this style of roundal for the South Vietnam Air Force before, so being a fan of something a bit different I finished it using the kit supplied South Vietnam decals. Thanks for stopping for a look, hope you like it. Pete. Thanks for looking Pete 40 2 3
TheyJammedKenny! Posted October 30, 2024 Posted October 30, 2024 Now that's a looker. Tough kit, and the results offer proof that almost nothing is beyond your ability to turn to gold. The roundels are probably those used until the U.S. started its advisory program. I think only @adey m has ever taken up the gauntlet with this kit here in BM land. 2
corsaircorp Posted October 30, 2024 Posted October 30, 2024 Well done Pete !! That will spark the interest of @russ c..... Now finding a 1/.48 Flamand is another story... Sincerely. CC 1

russ c Posted October 31, 2024 Posted October 31, 2024 That`s just beautiful Pete and you`re both correct I`d love to do one in 48th. I sort of hoped Special Hobby would do one but I guess they`d sell like cold cakes🙂 Cheers Russ 1
VG 33 Posted November 1, 2024 Posted November 1, 2024 Hello You mastered this kit with those unusual roundels, even if I knew them from a very old Carpena decal sheet. I could start on these kits in the years coming as I have three of them (MD 315, 311 and 312) and I know they are not the best from this manufacturer. Congratulations. Patrick 1
cpoud117 Posted November 2, 2024 Posted November 2, 2024 Really interesting subject and great result. The kit may have fought you but you won the battle for sure. 1
Mig88 Posted November 2, 2024 Posted November 2, 2024 Great work and finish on an unusual type in an unusual scheme! Miguel 1
