Old72s Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 (edited) Not quite on the bench yet but it's getting there. Should make a very nice addition to my Century flightline. It's not an up-scaled 1/72 kit either... at least not completely. Better cockpit detail, recessed panel lines. Dry-fitting showed a very good fit all around. Apparently, there's a Mk.4 as well -- short wings, small tailplane, gunpack, but no gunsight or spinner engine sprayers in the intakes.

phantom Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 I built mine a couple of years ago. Fair (not bad for hobby craft) amount of putty required. Real soft details cockpit less then wonderful. However I tossed in a couple of 70-80s looking pilots and closed it up. Looks pretty darn nice. I did mine in the 414 EW style just before they went out of service. Decals were a mix of Voodoo and starfighter with measurements from the Patrick Martin ref book. Overall I like the way it turned out. Hope you enjoy your build, remember to add LOTS of nose weight.

My Dad's Little Boy Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Is it me or are the 4 smaller Belgian roundels out of register? OK, I'll go back to bed. Nighty-night :lol: Jeff :P P.S. Looks a good model though, I'd like to see the end result. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Old72s Posted October 7, 2005 Author Share Posted October 7, 2005 Yeah, the center dots on the Belgian markings are very slightly offset. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

J.C. Bahr Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Speaking of Clunks... has anyone seen any photos on the net anywhere... or taken any photos of the one being restored at Dayton? I've heard it's been finished and on display but the AF Museum is so sloooooooow on updating their web-site... and then they don't even post but one teaser of a pic! :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
