Mark Deliduka Posted May 10, 2011 Report Posted May 10, 2011 Looks awesome! Great IP, almost looks like I can flip some switches and turn some dials!
ghodges Posted May 10, 2011 Report Posted May 10, 2011 I'll ditto Dukes praise of that panel! Are those kit instrument decals, or did ya punch some Mike Grant decals? Inquiring (and envious) minds need to know! GIL

Wildcat Posted May 11, 2011 Author Report Posted May 11, 2011 Looking good so far. This will make possible the third time I've seen a build of this online! For such an anticipated and remarked on kit, you don't see it built much. I have built it, and it's better than most of the limited run Czech kits I've dealt with. You aren't going to see much of that nice cockpit unless the door is left open though. One word of warning - the kit gear must have reinforcement of some kind. The kit is quite heavy and the gear is quite soft. My finished kit hadn't sat on it's feet for more than a day before the gear was splayed to each side. I keep the model displayed on a stand now. Thanx for the tip. I thought it looked a little weak.

Wildcat Posted May 22, 2011 Author Report Posted May 22, 2011 Cessna T-50 Bobcat "Skyking" 1/48 scale Czech Models kit. If you ever build this kit mask the cowls / nose. The decals just will not lay down. I used MicroSol, Solvaset and Future with out too much success. Also the landing gear are very weak. I drilled and pinned both of mine. Even if you do not break them they will probably sag in time if you don't do something. As far as I know no one has metal replacements. More here: http://www.percongrp...t/bobcat_ms.htm
ghodges Posted May 22, 2011 Report Posted May 22, 2011 Very pretty Mike! The glass looks crisp too, and I know that couldn't have been easy. What gloss white did you use? GIL
campingramps Posted May 23, 2011 Report Posted May 23, 2011 Nice build. Did you cut that door open or did it come in the kit? Sky King would be proud

Wildcat Posted May 23, 2011 Author Report Posted May 23, 2011 Nice build. Did you cut that door open or did it come in the kit? Sky King would be proud The door is a separate clear piece.
VonL Posted May 23, 2011 Report Posted May 23, 2011 Nice job! it appears that you defeated the decals.
ClareWentzel Posted May 23, 2011 Report Posted May 23, 2011 Great job. Those of us who remember Sky King have been taken back to a calmer period in time.
