aAzZ09 Posted November 30, 2013 Report Posted November 30, 2013 This is another one of my "oldies" photographed nearly a year ago. Another fun build.
ghodges Posted December 1, 2013 Report Posted December 1, 2013 Nice! But what's with the "tease".... What vac kit? How much scratchbuilding was needed? what parts did you rob from the spares box? And exactly how old is it? GIL
aAzZ09 Posted December 1, 2013 Author Report Posted December 1, 2013 Hello Gil. The model was built back in 1991, and correct me if I'm wrong (for some reason my memory is failing me as to the model's manufacturer) but I believe it was the old Wings Vacuform. The prop blades came from my spares box, as was the spinner and sanded to form. The cockpit was scratch built, and the canopy was scrap canopy and windshield sanded to form. Landing gear and tailwheel were from the kit. The "tease" was a left over judges ribbon I wore at one of our IPMS North Central Texas local contests many years ago. I'll try to add more photo detail later but the album won't let me. Best, Mark Nice! But what's with the "tease".... What vac kit?

mightymax Posted December 1, 2013 Report Posted December 1, 2013 (edited) I think it may be a product of Gull Models. I don't think Wings ever did a 202, but I may be wrong Nice model BTW Max Bryant Edited December 4, 2013 by mightymax
aAzZ09 Posted December 1, 2013 Author Report Posted December 1, 2013 Thanks Max. I believe the kit was from Gull Wings. Thanks for the reminder. Best, Mark
ghodges Posted December 2, 2013 Report Posted December 2, 2013 Thanks for the info! I can see why it's one of your favorites. It's a great result from solid, old school building skills! GIL
