BradG Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Dad gave me this kit when he was cleaning out his study. The fuselage was unfortunately wrecked, but thanks to Kagemusha, who was able to supply me a fuselage he didn't need. I'll be building the kit for my old man, not sure on colourscheme yet, probably build it with the wings folded too.

dennismcc Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Not a bad kit, I remember building a couple of them in the 90's and enjoyed the experience, not Tamiya but you have to remember that they are 70's technology.

Erwin Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) Best decide to build it with fixed wings folded or straight. Folding the wings a few times will break the parts I won the Verlinden cockpit in the Christmas raffle.So this one is also on my list Edited March 14, 2019 by Erwin BradG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunnus Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 A trip down memory lane.. I remember this kit from my childhood. I remember the blue color of the plastic. BradG, MikeC and alaninaustria 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn M Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I would encourage a wings down build, the wing rib area etc is wrong as there would be no room for the guns LOL That said my last one was wings folded lol. You can do a lot with this bird, or you can go OOB and just enjoy the nostalgia MikeC and BradG 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Model_Monkey Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I love the old, classic Revell kits. Getting out some popcorn and eagerly awaiting your next post. MikeC and BradG 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeC Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Built this one when I was about 13, way way back: looking forward to seeing how yours turns out. These old kits can scrub up quite nicely. BradG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradG Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 I've managed to make a start after finishing up cricket for the year...lost the Grand Final...oh well. The interior is pretty sparse, so I've pulled a pilot figure from the stash to stick in there and take up some room. I've decided to build an El Salvadorian aircraft from the 100 Hours War, otherwise known as the Soccer War. They were FG-1's, but it's close enough. I don't have any rocket rails but at least one was fitted with bombs. LSP_Ray and coogrfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradG Posted April 3, 2019 Author Share Posted April 3, 2019 I've done a little more work, not as much as I was hoping for as I've been feeling unwell the last week and a half. Fit so far is pretty reasonable for the kits age, the fuselage to wing joint looks ok too. coogrfan, MikeC and Erwin 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
