Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) Finished this one, the AMT kit with fantastic Wolfpak decals from two different sheets. It's the "First" Wild Weasel, the one that scored the very first kill on a SAM site, crewed by Donovan and Lamb. Also used a Master Model brass pitot boom, and modified F-94 seats from True Details to get something close enough to Super Sabre seats. Wanted to deepen the afterburner; discovered a McDonald's straw is about exactly the right diameter. My work's been declining in recent years, less detail etc....must be a middle-aged thing. One thing I am proud of is the empty LAU-3 rocket pods, as I wanted this to be "after" the historic kill. Lots of drilling on a tiny bit of plastic...and at both ends, too! Maybe should have had slightly more pronounced scorch marks, but then again maybe not. Edited June 3, 2020 by Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
