AndersN 848 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 26,987 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 2 MARU5137 and Shawn M reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shawn M 9,098 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. 3 Shaka HI, MARU5137 and AndersN reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndersN 848 Posted November 1, 2016 Wow, that's an oldie for sure! Be great to see it in RN colors too!

BloorwestSiR 11,408 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.

Bill_S 5,098 Posted November 1, 2016 One of my favorite Revell kits when I was a youngster. I thought those folding wings were SO cool! 2 AndersN and MARU5137 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bryan 1,080 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. 3 dmthamade, MARU5137 and AndersN reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 3 MARU5137, dmthamade and Shawn M reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
