Minsi III Now Blue Angle 1

Recommended Posts

I have been wanting to build this bird for a while now, ever since I stepped foot off the brow of the USS McCampbell. I don't have any pictures as of yet, but here is my parts run down.

 

Quickboost Engine, Cowl and Exhaust

Hasegawa 1/48 F6F-3 "USS Essex" kit

Aires cockpit (for the Eduard kit)

CMK wheels

Areomaster Decals

 

I have started cleaning up the cockpit getting it ready for paint, and I have opened up the windows on the kit to make it a -3. Progress will be slow, as this is my first attempt and building a contest quality plane.

I look forward to seeing your progress Donnie. McCampbell is an under appreciated ace, even if he's the top Navy ace and the Minsi planes are regularly modeled. He was an experienced pre-war career pilot who provided solid leadership long before he rose to fame as a hot ace. You've got a nice kit and some great accessories! I'm sure it'll be a build to be proud of!

couldnt really get into the vibe to build the Minsi, so instead I turned it into this

this one is turning out to be more of an experiment than anything. Still have lots to do, like take better pics since I have cleared it.
