AndersN Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) This is the kit, I got it dirt cheap a year ago. Now the time has come to destroy it. OOB except for markings and maybe seatbelts. Haven't actually got the markings yet, but it'll be a French Indochine F6F-5. Edited July 10, 2012 by AndersN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daywalker Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I have one of these to build someday, will be watching how you build yours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndersN Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 Thanks I wouldn't pay too much attention to what I'm doing to this This will be a very quick build. I will not alter, add or remove anything. I may have to use putty but that's it. I will try to keep my hands off the airbrush as well. Hasegawa instructs us to cut out the window behind the canopy but my sole reference book (Kagero Monograph) tells me not to. I chose not to. I feel sick every time I notice the 1/48 Saab 21R in pictures like this...I should complete it. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndersN Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) ...and the port wing is warped to heck and back......... Worse than this? Hopefully ready for painting tomorrow... Edited July 4, 2012 by AndersN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek B Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 It looks like your having fun here Anders! Nice rapid build and I like your choice of markings as well - those Suez stripes will look very effective. Cheers D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndersN Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share Posted July 7, 2012 It looks like your having fun here Anders! Nice rapid build and I like your choice of markings as well - those Suez stripes will look very effective. Cheers D. Almost ready for markings (which has not yet arrived.) I'm afraid this aircraft will be plain dark blue. No Suez stripes in Vietnam that I know of Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
