ghodges Posted July 15, 2021 Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 I'm currently building a resin 1/48 A-3B bomber and had to heat up a pot of water to remove some warps. I used the opportunity to grab my old CollectAire resin RA-3B Skywarrior from the shelf where it was languishing. The wing tips had sagged due to the heat in the garage, so I heated 'em up and straitened them back out. The landing gear and doors were long gone, so I filled the wells with epoxy putty and repainted parts of the old model. Then, using the hot water once more, I heated an acrylic rod and bent it to shape so I could mount it "in flight" like a desk model. Here's how it looked on my shelf.... Gear wells filled..... Finished and mounted.... Now I've preserved my Vietnam NOGS scheme Whale for another 20yrs, hopefully! Gil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stikpusher Posted July 15, 2021 Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 Yes, it would be a shame to scrap such a nice looking build. Very nice job on the restoration and modifications! 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
