I built this kit for the Eye In The Sky group build.
This is a 1/144 Minicraft EC-121R from the Batcat 553 Reconnaissance wing stationed at Korat during the Vietnam war. They were running a top-secret mission dropping listening devices along the ho chi minh trail and these birds would circle on station listening for activity. My dad was a senior master sergeant in avionics with this squadron.
Not the greatest kit - a few fit issues, flash etc. Anyhow - here she is
Still figuring out the black basing
Sausage masking at this scale is a bit difficult
A bit of bleed from the black basing I had to correct
Glossed and decals on - Mig filter applied and ready for dull coat
And the final product. Super finicky gear door issues with this kit. Anyhow - here she is
