Jay Chladek Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 (edited) Here's the Hasegawa Blackbird I built a few years ago, granted no longer doing photo or radar recce duties. But it was pulling "recon" duty of a different sort while trying to gather data on different environments. Edited July 21, 2016 by Jay Chladek Quote Link to post Share on other sites
my favs are F`s Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) Hi from me. I would like to present you my blackbird that i made a couple of years a ago. It`s the Academy`s SR-71 in 1/72, USAF. It has a stand too, and a picture like it`s 80k above sea level. Edited July 25, 2016 by my favs are F`s Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike J. Idacavage Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Here's a little inspiration for those who like classic recon aircraft! This is a model of the first Lockheed U-2C to take off and land on an aircraft carrier (hence the base). It is an Airfix U-2C kit in 1/72 with modified intakes, air scoops, resin cockpit with the canopy cut open and painted overall in the dark blue used at the time. Have fun modeling!

Drifterdon Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Testors 1/48 SR-71 built as 974 Iche Ban. This is one huge sucker! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drifterdon Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Here's the old Hawk/Testors U-2C built up several years ago. Pretty plain Jane. And this is the newer U-2R/TR-1 kit built up at the same time. The canopy had broken off and was just laying in place so it looks kind of off kilter in the pics.

Drifterdon Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 And this is my last inspirational build that was done up as a commission build which I managed to get back. It's the Monogram 1/48 F-101B kit converted to RF-101C using the Koster Vac conversion. Koster also provided some really nice resin burner cans and a crystal clear vac canopy. Decals were out of the spares bin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
