ericg Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Here is the Czech model F-80c depicted as the aircraft flown by Lt Roy Marsh, 80th FBS circa 1950 at Kimpo, Korea during the Korean War. It has one kill marking, that being a North Korean IL-10 that Roy shot down in this jet. I believe it crashed into a mountain after takeoff in 1951. The model went together OK. Being a short run kit, it does not fall together like a Tamigawa kit but with a bit of care and time it can be made into a nice model and I was very happy to include it in my collection. Mods RATO mounts, lower fuselage AMS cockpit Modified Fisher Panther exhaust ZM-1000lb bombs Scratchbuilt bomb pylons and sway braces Base: True details PSP resin base Painted using Alclad over a polished Tamiya grey Fine primer base. I used a 50/50 mix of Tamiya Semi gloss clear and clear in order to give it a polished metal look that may have seen a bit of action. Kit decals Built over a 4 month period (although it spent 3 months on the shelf of doom) Zero77, Joe66, SinuheH and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
