After finishing the Voodoo, which was the last of the 3 projects for my brother, it’s time to work on my Blackbird. I believe this impressive black stunner was my first attempt to do airbrushing, with just a simple spray can and no real airbrush, probably some 30 years ago. Over time, decals have become dry and brittle, as they were not sealed at the time (didn’t have the knowledge I have now). However, I believe this black sleek lady deserves more than just a pile of dust, and after seeing some interesting techniques and results of fellow Blackbird builders, I think the

Some 30 years ago I first built this kit, with just my 15 year old experience, glue, pencil and a simple Revell black spray can. She was sitting for some time behind the other newer models, on which I was able to practice airbrushing. I felt it was time to put the slender black beauty back into the spotlights, with a renewed tight black dress, new tattoos and some details that had to be on. She has become the stunner of my collection again! With pride I present to you the reconstructed Italeri 1/48 SR-71 Blackbird, in the Night Hawk livery, with Afterburner decals -

With the release of the new Revell 1/48 SR-71A kit in Europe in December and it being due in the states soon, I went to the SAC Museum in Ashland NE and shot some pictures of the aircraft we have on display, 61-7964. The aircraft has also been referred to as the Bododian (or Bodonian depending on reference) Express as it limped into Norway after an engine out condition in 1983. It is one of two Blackbirds displayed in this unique fashion on stilts in a sun-lit atrium. The engines and landing gear are removed and one engine is on display in another part of the museum with the one of the main ge

Anyone in UK or Ireland looking to sell a 1/48 testors or italeri SR71 blackbird ? Let me know as I live in midlands. I think the chances of this being released as a new release is remote, although there is a lot of talk of it.
