ghodges Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 Wow! That's not just a great looking model, but great photography too! At first I started to berate you for trying to pass off airshow pics as a model......... Impressive work! What kit and what scale is it? Thanks for posting!

adfogel Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Wow! that's a pretty nifty conversion! Love the flat black paint. Any particular reason for doing this conversion? Later, Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveV22FE Posted June 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 (edited) A had gotten pics of the real air through a friend of mine out at Edwards AFB. It was just one of those unique subjects that looked neat and was a conversion that was pretty easy to do. The real aircraft later crashed. The interesting thing to note is that this aircraft never carried any markings. No tail numbers, US ARMY, etc... The guy who was on the test program said that that was pretty weird for it to have no markings. Wow! that's a pretty nifty conversion! Love the flat black paint. Any particular reason for doing this conversion? Later, Lee Edited June 21, 2010 by SteveV22FE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adfogel Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Yeah, flat black and no markings makes for a very interesting model. Thanks for the info and again a really nice build, Steve! Later, Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
