vvwse4 Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 This one has a story to it. When he was doing his P51A I made a remark that Hobbycraft was not available in Holland. Two weeks later a parcel landed on my doorstep with the kit in it, also two P47 models and a lot of lose stuff to finish the Razorback I was building at that time. He made me promise that I would make Mrs Virginia. So Russ, here we go. I am sure that, whereever you are right now, you will have a good laugh about this so every now and then. Cheers buddy Rick.

vvwse4 Posted August 28, 2010 Author Share Posted August 28, 2010 I never forgot about this one but just didn't start with it. That has changed. Got the Aires cockpit and started too chop some plastic. Since the layout from a P51A and B cockpit were pritty much the same I use the side panels, IP and some other stuff from the Aires set. Cannot use the floor because the A had no floor, the top of the wing was the floor. So hope I got that right. Did some work on the pilot's seat And on the wings Never got that clear the bench thing right I am afraid Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out2gtcha Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Nice work Rick! Im sure Russ approves.......... Out of curiosity, with the unusual pose of the pilot, what is he supposed to be doing? Looks like it would be hard to fly in that pose...... Cheers, Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Brian He ain't flying, just sitting or hanging on a wing. You'll see when it's ready, which means I haven't got a clue how to rap this one up...... Rick.

vvwse4 Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 Nosejob done. Trying too do what he did with this kit makes me realize how incredible talented he was. Took me quite a few hours.. Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
