Collect Aire A-12 Avenger

Posted by Buddho on Saturday, March 22, 2003 10:37 AM

I built this 1/48 scale resin /metal model last year for a lawyer who was involved with the long term litigation resulting from the actual canceled program.

Here are some more pictures:

Whoa! It ain't everyday you see one of these built up!

Pretty nice job, especially if it's like most Collect-aire kits. ie; Bow-wow! They are not easy to build into a nice display piece. I really like the close-up of the cockpit.

Thanks....I had my hands full building this kit. But the overall sentiment was still a positive one. I sent some pictures to the Collect Aire website and the webmaster actually used some for the A-12 ! Smile [:)]

Very nice boybuddho. The question is "Will ya build another"??? The display stand/name plate add a nice touch.

If you would listen to everybody about the inaccuracies, most of the kits on your shelf would not have been built Too Close For Guns, Switching To Finger

I have a P-39 that is all resin and is done in 1/32. I am not near the kit so I cant say who did it. Its on the tip of my tongue though Tongue [:P]

I am actually looking forward to building it one of these winters(its a nice stay in side project)
