RickSchad Posted September 3, 2020 Report Posted September 3, 2020 Hi All, Here is my second all metal skin Starfighter, this version is from Dagnang AB in Vietnam 1968. Once again each panel is hand cut from aluminum sheets. This was my first attempt at a real metal skin aircraft, lots of experimenting on this one! I finished this model about 6 months ago. 1

ghodges Posted September 3, 2020 Report Posted September 3, 2020 Sweet! Very shiny! What kits did you use and what scale are they? Those will turn some heads wherever you take them. Thanks for sharing and congrats! Gil
RickSchad Posted September 3, 2020 Author Report Posted September 3, 2020 Hey Gil, these are 1/32 scale Itialeri kits. They are ok, they lack detail so be prepared to do some scratch building. thanks Gil!! 1
Mark Deliduka Posted September 5, 2020 Report Posted September 5, 2020 Amazing work! You've got quite the touch with that aluminum! Way to go!
RickSchad Posted September 5, 2020 Author Report Posted September 5, 2020 Thanks Mark! It is hard to do, I won’t be doing it again for a while!!
