Marine Corps A-wing, with image this time!
Posted by grenadierII on Saturday, July 10, 2004 3:04 PM
I am not one to build sci-fi stuff. My sisiter bought this old MPC kit awhile back and I decided to give it shot. This old snap tite kit has real thick plastic and the canopy is no exception. I cut the canopy in two and posed it in the open position. I scratch built a bit of office interior including ejection handles, canopy hinge and seat belts. I finished it off with 1/72 A-4M decals from Fujimi and some 1/48 from the Monogram AV-8. Just goofin' not for a show or anything serious.

Thanks Joe. I tried again and it worked this time! On a totally different topic - is it too late to get in on that NMF group build?

That's great!! You know, it looks real good with that paint scheme. The grey's work well. You should do a whole series like that. Keep it up!

That is really cool (showing age again). I like the idea of the paint scheme and decals. Also gives me ideas for landing gear for a conversion I'm working on.
