1/72 Airfix F-80C and Emhar F-94 (Late)

Post by Stuart »

Hi All,

I've been working on these two oldies for a GB on another Forum - I thought I should share it here so Carlos doesn't get lonely!

Image

So far I've got the :quotes: highly detailed :quotes: cockpits assembled and painted. Nothing special and certainly not accurate - but they'll look ok through the massively thick clear parts.

Image

Image

and I've also fitted the intakes, filled the gaps and sanded them It's easier to do it now before the fuselage goes together.

Very interesting and definitely not at all common subjects!

How is Emhar kit, details, fit, plastic etc etc??

Both look very similar in shape. Looking good.

Oh a Shooting Star! Such a classic looking early jet! :wub:

The early jets are just neat subjects. You are killing it!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Very fun looking projects Stuart! As I have stated ad nauseam: I love these old kits and seeing them built. :shoutout:
What is the theme of the GB BTW?

I agree Chris, I do like seeing them built up too. It's a F-80/T-33/F-94 family GB.

Thanks Lyle!

I do like the pre-century series Jets. I'd like to build a few of them.

Trying to recall if I had done the Shooting Star as a kid. :hmm:
