Dick Montgomery Posted May 24, 2018 Report Posted May 24, 2018 Real Life has kept me away from the workbench over the last 7 months, but more free time recently allowed me to finish the Accurate Mini kit of the Vindicator. 2
ghodges Posted May 24, 2018 Report Posted May 24, 2018 Looks good! And now that your model is built, Ginter has just released a very nice reference book on the Vindicator! Not that the AM kit needs much help...and it looks like you got the most from it too! Congrats on getting back to the bench! GIL
Mark Deliduka Posted May 24, 2018 Report Posted May 24, 2018 Beautiful job! Way to go on finishing another masterful model!
ralph4hand Posted May 25, 2018 Report Posted May 25, 2018 Dick, Really great build and an eye-catching beautiful color scheme to behold. Envy.. Envy.. Envy....... :-) Hope to see you, and this Vindicator - maybe(?), in Nooga' next year. Can't make Phoenix but will be thinking of you all with fond memories. Thanks for sharing and TAKE CARE, Ralph
Dick Montgomery Posted May 26, 2018 Author Report Posted May 26, 2018 Thanks to all for the kind words. I have another Vinnie on the workbench at present, this one is the Dash -3 model. Ralph, you'll be missed at Phoenix. As for Nooga', my better half is already looking at "things to see" and "places to eat".
Roktman Posted May 26, 2018 Report Posted May 26, 2018 Applause Applause ! That looks awesome. Terrific job on the canopy - they have always been my nemesis. 😉
WildBill50 Posted May 30, 2018 Report Posted May 30, 2018 Very nice yellow wing! Was that oob or did you add anything? How did you make your insulators for the aerial, as it looks like small springs almost. They look great. A fine job all around. Bill
mustang1989 Posted July 11, 2018 Report Posted July 11, 2018 Sweet build Dick!! Have always liked this aircraft.

The insulators are cut from tubing (.005 diameter I think). This tubing is actually found in fishing gear departments of your local outdoor store. Lots of hobby stores carry it also. One just needs to "thread" the EZ line or antenna material thru the tubing.
Navairfan Posted May 16, 2020 Report Posted May 16, 2020 Beautifully done! I have that kit in the stash - any construction difficulties?
