Martin_C Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Hi, this is my Crusader. I used kit from Academy, Eduard PE color, and hand made detail- wheel bays . Martin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dmanton300 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Looks good, great kit I've built it twice. You may want to check the underwing bombs, they look like 1/48th scale M-117's to me, not 72nd! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks , Crusader over Vietnam they used 2000 lb bombs. 2000 lb bomb in 1/72 scale are similary as 1/48 1000 lb bombs. I made according to photos from publication Osprey- Crusaders over Vietnam.

jenshb Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Whoaaa! What big bombs you have! :wacko: Looks very good - subtle preshading with some more grime locally in filthy places - I like it! Only one question though - the wing seems to be in a halfway up or down position - I thought the wing was only up or down...? Jens Quote Link to post Share on other sites
