worldslaziestbusker Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I love the FROG kits of this era. The yellow plastic. The box art. Nostalgia fix. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grandboof Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 Finally got around to some modelling . I decided to add the crew for two reasons 1 To cover the ejector pin marks and 2 Because way back when it's the way it used to be. Basic detail painting is done Two IPs made from scrap . The parts fit is good so far for kit of this age. More soon . Thanks for looking Martin H Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Grandboof Posted June 29, 2017 Author Share Posted June 29, 2017 ............................................................ Calling this done Will re-post past images when I sought PB out Thanks to the Mods and other participants Thanks for watching Martin H Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stevehnz Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Bit of a thread resurrection here, I haven't been as active over here as I was thanks to the PB shenanigans & the the upgrade hassles the site had, coupled with a hellishing hectic year or two & you get the picture, so I'm having a catch up & pleased I caught up with this, it came up pretty good. A hint that may help with your canopy is to use white glue on it, its good for gap filling & if some goes to far it will dry clear. I attach my canopies with white glue, a clean up with a damp q-tip & when dry, any filled gaps can be touched up with your top colour paints. Steve. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
