Ron Bell Posted October 25, 2013 Report Posted October 25, 2013 See, oldies can look good. You obviously did a bang up job. Was it fun?
stefanwest Posted October 25, 2013 Author Report Posted October 25, 2013 It was fun. I use these old kits and build them out of the box so I try to make them look as best as I can with just paint.
ghodges Posted October 25, 2013 Report Posted October 25, 2013 And you succeeded! That's a great looking "Dog" SLUF, especially considering the 3 colored plastic you started with! Congrats, and thanks for sharing! GIL
PawelP Posted October 26, 2013 Report Posted October 26, 2013 Looks good :-) I like old Matchbox kits ... Pawel
Mark Deliduka Posted October 28, 2013 Report Posted October 28, 2013 Awesome! I also built this kit; thanks for the great memories! You did brilliant! Yeah, Old School is the Best School in many cases!
aAzZ09 Posted October 28, 2013 Report Posted October 28, 2013 (edited) Nice work, Steve! I remember when the last of these planes were being built back at the Vought Plant in Grand Prairie, Texas in 1974. I was a young engineering intern then as I walked from Engineering Building 194 through the Mezzanine to the Drafting area, carrying drawings, and back to my desk, about a one mile round trip. I could hear the extremely loud noises along the manufacturing area as I saw the A-7s in Final Assembly. Best, Mark Edited October 29, 2013 by aAzZ09
VonL Posted October 30, 2013 Report Posted October 30, 2013 Love it! Very nice job keeping the feathered edges of the camo pattern nice & tight. This does a lot for 1/72. Did you use a mask? Freehand?
JMorgan Posted November 20, 2013 Report Posted November 20, 2013 That model looks nice. Brings back memories of a simplier time. I love that the sticker on the box says $1.50. -Jesse
