PhilB Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 The concept is scary but I'm looking forward to seeing this one Kev. Can't believe they ever got a sane pilot to sit on top of a giant firecracker! Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted September 26, 2010 Author Share Posted September 26, 2010 Now this was just stupid. I glued intake trunk together before I realized there were, big surprise,... ejector pin marks that need to be filled. What a dope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youngtiger1 Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Now, this is a crazy idea for a model. I don't think this idea was every created in any scale by any manufacture. So, I'll be following it closely. Keep up the good work. Mike LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssculptor Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 I dunno, every time I see this gizmo I see a short shot with the nose of the plane buried in the ground about 100 yards downstream from the launcher; the tail would be stuck up in the air and quivering and a very disgruntled pilot walking away muttering to himself.

KAGNEW Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Hawk in 1964 did a kit called Gorilla Team in 1/48 scale that had a F-84 and launcher unit. they also released it with a Mace missile. glen LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted September 27, 2010 Author Share Posted September 27, 2010 Glued, again! This time permanently. Axial seam is going to be real fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssculptor Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 As in Wile E Coyote? Exactly! My outlook on life was encouraged by the Road Runner cartoons, the Bugs Bunny cartoons, MAD comics (I started reqding MAD when it first came out) and the evening news on TV. Hooman Beans are the craziest critters on this planet. Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richter111 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Pour white housepaint down the intake tube, it will hide the seam, and provide a nice glossy finish. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
