nmertes 14 Report post Posted January 6, 2019 Found a model of the Spook almost a year ago & finally finished it. The colors are not according to any scheme. If you do a google search, you'll even find him wrapped in a British flag & bowler. The blue is Tamiya Flat Blue; the cape & mask are Model Masters Gunship Gray; his hat band is Model Masters Light Gull Gray; and his hair is Tamiya rattle can primer. I mean, he's 57 years old. He has a right to gray hair. The glossy finish is Future or whatever they call it these days. Had to show that I could actually finish something even if it did only have 4 parts.😊 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ghodges 515 Report post Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) Very cool! I didn't know anyone made such a figure. I suppose you could put lots of "schemes" on it, seeing as how many countries phlew the Phantom! I like the way you've done yours. I see you're in Grove City! I lived in Columbus for 20yrs....are you a member of the Rickenbacker club? GREAT group of guys! Thanks for sharing your work!

nmertes 14 Report post Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) Proud member of the Rickenbacker club. Unfortunately, I don't remember where I found the kit. I just remember it was less than $20.00 & it's solid resin. Spent 4 years in the Navy as a still photographer & 18 years in the Air Force working in/managing aerial reconnaissance labs & gun camera labs. Had lots of drawings/photos of the spook in the labs. Found him. I did get the kit from Sprue Brothers. http://store.spruebrothers.com/product_p/arsab100001.htm $17.99.

Mark Deliduka 329 Report post Posted January 7, 2019 Nick, that looks phabulous! I'm thrilled to see him all done up; that is a most imaginative scheme. My brother lives in Grove City and his boys go to Grove City High School and play in their band. I had a blast this past year when I attended the Rickenbacker meeting a year ago this week.

Mark Deliduka 329 Report post Posted January 9, 2019 I think I went there last time I was visiting! Nice! Too bad I didn't know you were there. I'll keep this in mind for my next trip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
