SPA Modeler

A good kit, very minor fit issue. Decals are hit or miss. Had one fold over. Definitely murder on your eyes doing 30 plus NO STEP stencils.

I would do another to add to my own collection.


Built her up as Spirit of New York of Grim Reapers Bomb Wing. She is armed with 2 Bunker Buster bombs.

Nice job Tom. Showed some great modeling skills recovering from some of those decal issues. I need one of these on the shelf.

Well done!

I want the 1/72 scale one.

Presented it to a family friend, George last night. Had it stored properly in the kit box with padding. Walked in the house, broke his balls, you wanted a B-2 Stealth bomber, you put it together. I ain’t got time to do it

I opened the box at here it is, completely assembled. Told him it’s yours and Happy Birthday, George. (I find out he had turned 86 yrs old - I was off by 2 years) He was shocked and he gave me a long hug and thanked me. I know I made an 86 year old a very happy man.
He mentioned if there’s a stand so he can display it. Told him I have just the thing that’ll work. Came out of my parts stash belonging to an Ace Combat kit I had done a few years ago.

He can display it as take off mode with landing gears still down before they’re retracted in flight.

Congrats! it's a fine result!

Nice looking finish Tom! Great recovery on the walk way area decal mishap.

A super looking build Tom - very nicely done. Glad to hear your friend was pleased with it.
