SPA Modeler

Hi all,

due to the move, my man cave is everything but set.. All stuff are still in moving boxes.. but the hunger to get back into building kits is big...
So, listening to Borgs and Dukes great advices, I decided to do a really quick and uncomplicated build...

An out of the box build... in a similar way as I did my first kits close to 40 years ago...
In other words, no scratch building, no added AM parts, not even any paint... nope... just using what is in the box...

Yup, a "truly" out of the box build.... anyone remember when you last built a TOOB ? :-)

Of course this is not a serious build in any way, just some urgent therapy...

Object: Hasegawas 1/72 Saab Draken (Tigrazor inspired me to build the smaller version of this famous jet)

So here we start..


Feels a little bit weird to see a "naked" cockpit...


But the fit is very good in this Hasegawa kit

We've all done a TOOB in our lifetime at one time in our youth. I know I have. Following this as you work yourself back into the groove once more.

I remember most, if not all, of my kits I built as a kid were done this way; no paint, no nothing, just glue and whatever came in the box. I didnt start using paint for a few years, I think the first paint I used was a couple of those Testors paint pens, when they came out, I think it was black, just to paint the tires. I think it probably had a lot to do with the fact that my parents could see that I'd get more paint on the surrounding area than the model itself.

What was "OOB" again? Must be "Oddly odoured bathtubes" or something.

Glad I could give you a little bit of inspiration, Kari - enjoy your build!

I have that same kit....with all sorts of Meastro AM items. That one is nog goign to be TOOB.

I have also one still to go.. with some AM stuff.
I have the Hasegawas double pack, so I could pretty easily "sacrifice" the other one to this nostalgic trip....
