Radar Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Hi All, Finished yet another Radar "Ugly" to add to my collection. It is the ACE Hunter version of the Guardian. A pretty poor limited edition injection run with some nice photo etched parts that saved the model. Decals were very thin and flakey most of them breaking up in the water. Time to move onto 1/48 now with an AD-4W Douglas Skyraider by AMT/Esci. Hope you like Regards Radar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Lovely job on an ugly aircraft Ian. Did read the kit was a bit of a fight in some reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Now that is nice Radar. If all goes well, I should have the 1/72 'killer' variant completed by Telford (using a modified kit), so perhaps a combination display for the Recce SiG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radar Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 Glen, That would be be impressive, did you manage to get a kit of the Killer version in the end, I have an old Vac Form if you want it, its a bit sparse on detail and minus a canopy though. Its yours if you want it. Ian S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David H Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Looks very nice, Ian. Ugly perhaps, but i have a very strong pro-Grumman bias. Have been looking around for this kit. Sorry that it put up a fight but hey, if the parts are more or less symmetrical, i can take it from there. Always wanted to build one of these. i think its a cool aeroplane. Thanks for posting. FLY NAVY!! All the Best, david Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
