Ron Bell Posted July 19, 2022 Report Posted July 19, 2022 Go back to when you were a kid and modeling was really fun. The airplanes/ships/cars on your shelf gave you hours of imaginative fun as you pictured yourself in the cockpit or on the deck or behind the wheel. Here's one built like that, complete with swivel stand, courtesy of Atlantis models. The spinning prop is an addition, but that just seemed appropriate to a 'flying' airplane. It was a fun build. 4
Stikpusher Posted July 19, 2022 Report Posted July 19, 2022 Now ya got love such a display! Looks like it was fun indeed!
Mark Deliduka Posted July 19, 2022 Report Posted July 19, 2022 Oh the memories! That is beautiful! Way to go Ron!
cheveuxroux Posted December 18, 2022 Report Posted December 18, 2022 Nice work! I can recall seeing a 1969(?) copy of Scale Modeler- when I was much, much younger- with a photo article containing beauty shots of a completed Monogram P-39. I was very impressed by the detail as I had owned only the Aurora P-39 in yellow and black racing garb. Actually, molded in yellow plastic with black decals. Regrettably I no longer own either the Aurora model or the magazine copy.
ghodges Posted December 19, 2022 Report Posted December 19, 2022 The older I get, the more attraction I have for "nostalgia" modeling and emphasizing FUN! Love the Airacobra! Gil
cheveuxroux Posted December 19, 2022 Report Posted December 19, 2022 Quote The older I get, the more attraction I have for "nostalgia" modeling and emphasizing FUN! I feel the same but suspect it has as much to do with replacing my long-gone childhood models as with the fun. 1
Mark Deliduka Posted December 21, 2022 Report Posted December 21, 2022 Ron, thanks for the awesome memories! Fantastic job on that old kit!
