N312RB Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) I have always admired the guts that it took to fly a slow moving Cessna into the face of hell during the Vietnam war. The mission these guys completed is far too important to keep in the history books. We have plenty of fast movers in this GB so a FAC will be a different bird all together The 'DON'T SHOOT' lettering on top of the wings shows just how low these missions were completed and I hope to do justice and respect to these brave men. My GB record to date is dismal, but now that my life is on the mend, hopefully this will change that. I plan on using a paper kit (http://www.ecardmodels.com/index.php/1-24-cessna-o-2-skymaster-usaf-paper-model.html) and converting it to plastic.

Derek B Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) Fantastic (and ). If I ever finish my 0-1 Dawg, one of these is my follow on model (well, it'd be rude not to!). I shall look forward to watching this one develop. I am short on 0-2/Cessna 337 Skymaster reference, so could you and Paul maybe help me out a little when the time comes? Good luck from the other slow FAC guy Derek Edited July 28, 2014 by Derek B LSP_Paul and Girlscanplay2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N312RB Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 Got some shapes cut tonight. Does anyone know if the 337 and the 210 have the same gear system/structure? If so, I have a 210 on the ramp I can use for reference LSP_Paul and Derek B 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youngtiger1 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Having flown the push & pull I will say go for it. Its a great aircraft and it will be totally cool to see one in our scale. Plus, you are right about all those pilots flying it in a War...they sure had some huge cojones flying this in front of all the action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Clunkmeister Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) Awesome! I always loved the huff n'puff Lame Duck and it's about time one was represented here. This was a very important airplane in Vietnam, and I'm psyched someone's building one! Now we need a scratch built C-7 Boo!
