Julien (UK) Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) This is yee olde Hasegawa kit. Was given to me by a member at our club so I really want to get it done for this months club night. Kit is old school, no bulkhead etc in the back so I did a little bit o scratch, might not be accurate but better than the hole that was there. Will be markings for a Gunship grey OA-37 operating out of Osan in Korea. Julien Edited January 12, 2011 by Julien (UK) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
texgal45 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I grew up a few miles east of Sheppard AFB, Texas, and I can remember those white T-37s flying over our house with their horrible screeching sound of the engines. Grandma L Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gearheadrandy Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I spent a couple years on Osan. The OA-37s looked like a little Volkswagen Beetle on the runway, but were surprisingly loud. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cool, did they just fly with tanks on, or did they have other stuff hanging as well? Julien Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Julien Nice scratchbuilding to make the office more busy... That bird must be tiny ;) Edited February 17, 2011 by Julien (UK) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Julien (UK) Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) Now got the major paint job done; I also now hate doing drop tanks! this has 2 tip tanks, 4 under wing tanks and 4 underwing rocket pods. Took nearly a week to get all them done. In the process of this build I have found out that Vallehjo grey primer is an near perfect match to gunship grey (the flash does lighten this) Julien Edited February 4, 2011 by Julien (UK) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tecnoman Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Looking good. I've got to do a dragonfly one of these days. I need it in 1/48, big finger and old eyes do not mix well with 1/72 :D Anyway, looks good so far! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

yardbird78 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Very nice work on the little bird. Are those white pods for marker rockets or something else? Darwin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
