airmechaja Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 My short calendar is filled in and this build is complete. This is the A-27A Dragonfly. Serial # 14510. 25 of these little guys were sent to Viet Nam in 1967 under the program called "Combat Dragon". image hosting gif #510 was at Chu Lai Air Base 1968 - 1971. They were used for close air support, night interdiction & forward air control. adult image Here's a couple pictures of the cockpit before the canopy is installed. post a picture imageupload On this picture notice that Trumpeter has the wrong serial # on the fuselage decal. #506 was shot down by small arms fire in 1968. The pilot was K.I.A. #510 Derosed and was displayed in the Indiana Aviation Museum till it closed in 2010. It's now up for sale. adult image There are more antennas on this thing than my local FBI building. picture share For ordnance I chose a SUU-11 Mini Gun, 2 Mk. 81's, 2 M117's & a LAU-3 Rocket Pod. imagehosting host images I want to say thanks to the guys before me who built A-37's for this build because you gave me allot of incentive.

rotorwash Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Here is my 1/72 UH-1A build. This is a kitbash of the Italeri and Hobby Boss kits. Fuselage, cabin floor and skids are Hobby Boss, virtually everything else is Italeri. The rotrohead has been extensively modified and is about 60% scratchbuilt. I also lowered the rotor mast for to get the proper look for a UH-1A and added the downwardv facing blade counterweights. There are bits and pieces of PE from the Eduard set as well. Decals are a mix of Fireball modelworks, Print Scale, and kit decals. The Print Scale decals were very finicky and rolled up into an unusable mess at the slightest chance. When I could get them down though, they were nice. Joseph Osborn's Fireball decals are always awesome and these were no exception. Virtually all the stencils are Fireball decals. I also mixed a custom paint to try and replicate the glossy OD used on these very early UH-1As. This bird represents a 57th Med UH-1A just after arrival to Vietnam in 1962. There is a litter inside, but it doesn't show up in these photos. Ray Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan Hothersall Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Finished 1:72 Hobby Boss MiG-15UTI.

ikar Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 What about something with this? Then just the build name and dates I guess. Then I have to be reminded how to post it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
