Hey guys, 

 

I finally finished my Shooting Star after more than a year and 385 hours later. Here it is:

This is old Monogram 1/48" scale kit I had lying around for over 40 years and I decided to do something with it. I sanded off all the raised panel lines and rescribed with a No. 11 X-Acto  blade for starters. Decals are the old Micro Scale and markings represent the 94th "Hat in the Ring" squadron based at Elmendorf Army Air Force Base in 1947, hence the Artic red used for ID purposes.

Cheers,

Mark

Thank you very much Duke. This old Monogram kit (40 years old!) took a lot of work but I enjoyed building it.
