ReccePhreak Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Looking good! Now I regret selling my kit, especially since they cost so much on the second-hand kit market. Larry Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bad Turbine Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Cool build! Well done. I have been trying to get one of those. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Helo 53 Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 Thanks for the kind words on my Stinger build everyone , they are very much appreciated . The kit was quite expensive , I bought it from a seller on amazon.com while I was searching around for some reference books , I had been wanting one for years , so I figured I may as well 'bite the bullet' and buy it , as it could be a long time before another comes around . Anyway , as a follow on to the AC-119K build , I'm just doing the final touches on my Italeri 1/72 B-57G Canberra I should have some finished pic's to post shortly .

SERNAK Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) Very nice job. Although, I would suggest a light weathering with a very thin mix of black and brown. This is also a kit that Italeri is planning to re-release in 2013. Checked in my shopping list!!! Sernak Edited February 26, 2013 by SERNAK Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aggressor Supporter Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Nice Stinger. I bet they could probably use something like this today to supplement the Spookys. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flyingfortress Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 The Lucy decal looked a little silvery but that's easy to fix. Looks fantastic otherwise, wish I kept mine! Can't wait for the re-release! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hajo L. Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I think Italeri is releasing it this year again.... HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattP Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I bought 3 of these kits (Factory Sealed) at an auction and about 2 years ago. Later I gave all 3 of them away as a prize for my Local Hobby Shop without ever looking in the boxes.... You have made me wish I'd kept at least one of the kits... GREAT JOB on the build!!!!

Jinxter13 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 (edited) Two very outstanding builds....those Boxcars would have been relegated to scrap...the conversion extended their service and gave them some B-a-d a-s-s attitude and some arse punting they did.
