AndersN Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 (edited) Can't find this boxing on scalemates or lsp, but I think it's old. I think this'll be my first attempt ever at British camouflage...looks easier than rlm mottling. Decals are more or less useless. Will cut some masks instead I think. This was a challenge a monday morning. Edit: But as this is actually a tuesday, I don't know.

LSP_Kevin Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Nice project, Anders! I can't find this one in our database, either. Could you perhaps take a nice, square-on photo of the box, and give us some details about it? Kev Shawn M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn M Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 zippin along! I built this decades ago from the Smithsonian boxing, used tube glue and hairy sticks even. The tube glue weakend the main gear thought. AndersN and Shaka HI 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloorwestSiR Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Nice! I remember building this kit from a different boxing but kept breaking all the landing gear linkages. Probably because I was 10 or so at the time I think. I've never seen your version so it'll be great to see it built. Carl AndersN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_S Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 One of my favorite Revell kits when I was a youngster. I thought those folding wings were SO cool! AndersN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Yup, I remember building the US version of that kit back around 1972-74....I think I built it at least twice. Of course all my models from those days are long LONG gone....probably mostly death by firecracker....but I would love to see some of my efforts from those days today. I remember I used to paint them whatever color I had lying around. No attempt at authenticity. But man, I built a lot of kits. I bet between the ages of 10 and 16 I built at least 200 kits.

Don These days a lot of people scoff at those old Revell kits, but for many they played an important part of our love for the hobby. I'm one of them.
