Testor 1/48 O2-A
Posted by goldhammer on Monday, May 29, 2017 4:28 PM

Just finished up this little bird for the Multi-prop GB, and figured might as well put her up here as well.  Gray, white and black is paint (MM Acrylic), whip antennas are copper wire.  Kit decals.  Left off the gun pods and willy-petes for a cleaner look.

Hope you enjoy, thanks for looking.

I've seen this plane many time in forest service colors. 

Chasing the ultimate build.

Ah, lookin' good! While going to school and working in a Texaco station in Wichita Kansas, all models were coming and going from the Cessna plant on their first flights. Cool plane! Great job on the model!

Thanks fella's, appreciate it.

But have to critizize my own work.  The towel bar antenna was shown in the instructions as being where I placed it, but airborne pictures in the instructions show it between the canopy and front upper window.  Didn't notice it til I got the gray on, and decided to leave it alone.

I usually stay away from Testor's , old Airfix models and the like but you have transformed this "less than perfect "  kit into a real looker.  WTG Mate Yes Beer

Thanks.  Little sloppy with some of the brush work, but it is a learning process, and sometimes it takes a smack or two with an oak 2x4 to get through to me.

You hand brushed this goldhammer? If so all I can say is WOW!
