Nick Filippone Posted February 24, 2020 Report Posted February 24, 2020 See “The Bull Pen” for my position on Operation Paperclip. Nick
Mark Deliduka Posted February 24, 2020 Report Posted February 24, 2020 That is a great model! I commend you on the realism. Way to go! What scale is it? I'm looking forward to seeing more.
Ralph Nardone Posted February 25, 2020 Report Posted February 25, 2020 (edited) Very nicely done! I built the Revell kit many moons ago, and the Zukei Mura kit is certainly worlds apart! The diorama should be a sight to see, can't wait until you get it finished and post pictures. Cheers! Ralph I've moved the rest of my reply to Nick's thread in the Bull Pen.

Circuitrider Posted February 25, 2020 Report Posted February 25, 2020 Folks, this is the Aircraft Build section of the forum. In order to keep this thread about the excellent build that initiated this thread and not a history discussion that can become divisive, please confine your comments to the build, itself. History, opinion, discussion of Operation Paperclip is better suited for the Bullpen section of the forum. Please edit your posts accordingly. Thanks, David
Mister300 Posted February 25, 2020 Author Report Posted February 25, 2020 Will stay on topic, no problem.

Bradley25mm Posted February 25, 2020 Report Posted February 25, 2020 Most impressive build. Love the diorama. Chris
Mark Deliduka Posted February 25, 2020 Report Posted February 25, 2020 Daniel the kit looks fantastic. A friend of mine bought me the Revell kit and I'm getting more motivated to start it after seeing this. I do like the Area 51 idea; very tongue-in-cheek humor if you ask me. I love it!
ghodges Posted February 26, 2020 Report Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) Good looking build! As for a "what-if" scenario....time travel it back to 1917..... Thanks for sharing! GIL Edited February 26, 2020 by ghodges

Mister300 Posted February 28, 2020 Author Report Posted February 28, 2020 Plan to add this mech to my diorama what do you guys think?
Mark Deliduka Posted February 29, 2020 Report Posted February 29, 2020 That is interesting, although I have to wonder why the dozer blade is so high. I think this will be an excellent addition, bring it man!
Mister300 Posted March 1, 2020 Author Report Posted March 1, 2020 (edited) I plan to use the crane to hold up the cockpit frame or the wing, I should be able to rig the dozer height and the stance if it sits too low. Will do Hanger 18 or area 51 setting Edited March 1, 2020 by Mister300 1
Mister300 Posted March 8, 2020 Author Report Posted March 8, 2020 Finished Black Dog 1/72 mech crane walker for Ho 229 diorama
Mister300 Posted April 10, 2020 Author Report Posted April 10, 2020 (edited) Got my diorama base from Coastal Kits in GB. Looks great. Edited April 10, 2020 by Mister300
Mark Deliduka Posted April 10, 2020 Report Posted April 10, 2020 Sweet! How big is that? I'd love to have one of those!
Mister300 Posted April 10, 2020 Author Report Posted April 10, 2020 it is 8 by 12 inches in 1/72. Comes in 1/48 too.
cheveuxroux Posted April 10, 2020 Report Posted April 10, 2020 Amazing kit ! I can't help but think back to the minimal kit details in models I saw in drug stores during the late 1960s.
Mark Deliduka Posted April 11, 2020 Report Posted April 11, 2020 Thanks for the size. I'll have to look into getting one of those.
