SPA Modeler

*EDIT--the post is now working! YAY!*

old monogram kit, raised panel lines. Dont mind the "4-", I got it for much cheaper than that


open it up and out slides some squadron canopies?? Cool! I live it when second-hand kits come with goodies


these decals are older than me...gonna have to find some from the spares


sprue shot! Notice how the wings attach by going through the fuselage!

I have a post completed, but every time i go to post it, it says there are too few characters, and erases the whole thing. WTF?!?!



edit: hey, its working!!

You get us all excited and then...

There it is!

Niceeeee - I love the bearcat and have been thinking about getting this kit - following with interest!

Very nice! I built this one too from the original boxing. This will be great to watch! Looking forward to seeing more. You're going to have fun with this one; I sure did!

nice ! I built this kit many moons ago still sitting on my shelf.

Nice to see an old kit gets build! i am following!

im surprised at how many people have memories of this kit! Ill try to do 'er justice

The pit didnt have much in the way of details, so I painted the pilot figure and strapped him in. I also added side consoles, and a couple of blanking plates to prevent seeing into the hollow fuselage. Another odd detail...the pit is assembled directly on top of the wings!







the engine looked like it was sitting too far back in the cowling, so I stacked a bit of plastic card behind it.




even with all my additions, everything fits!!
