JeffS Posted August 14, 2009 Report Posted August 14, 2009 I have always liked the old 1970ish Otaki kits. That is if you could find one with clear glass. The only addition to this kit was landing gear indicators on the wings. The glass was dipped in Future. It's still wavey but at least it's clear. Polly Scale paints were used with a Badger 200 fine point run by a Paasche compressor (the quiet one) at 20psi. Now we have Trumpeter for recessed rivets. Thanks for looking
ghodges Posted August 15, 2009 Report Posted August 15, 2009 Looks great Jeff! I agree, the old Otaki kits were a lot of fun, and for that matter, they still are! Thanks for sharing! GIL
Glynyrd Posted August 15, 2009 Report Posted August 15, 2009 Otaki, that's a name that isn't heard much. Excellent job on the build! Glenn

TimHortman Posted August 15, 2009 Report Posted August 15, 2009 Nice work on an old kit Jeff - Thanks for sharing!
mightymax Posted August 16, 2009 Report Posted August 16, 2009 Nice model. I too have a soft spot for the old Otaki's/Arri's. So much so that I have multiples and each time a kit purge happens, the Otaki's are spared. Max Bryant
