Ron Bell Posted November 26, 2012 Report Posted November 26, 2012 (edited) In keeping with my memory lane modeling, I started a collection of Revell anti-aircraft missile kits of the 50's. Most have been re-released in various forms over the years with the exception of the Terrier. More on that later. Here's the first installment, the Nike Ajax and Hercules. Seen in many a 50's low budget sci-fi movie. The Revell logo and other signs are from the full display. Edited November 26, 2012 by Ron Bell
ghodges Posted November 27, 2012 Report Posted November 27, 2012 Nice pair Ron! I'm sure they took quite a bit of cleanup to get them looking that good. Are they OOTB, or did you add some details? GIL
Ron Bell Posted November 27, 2012 Author Report Posted November 27, 2012 Nice pair? Not the kind of thing one guy says to another. With the exception of the "concrete' bases, they are OOTB. As to clean up, I had to use a snow shovel to remove all the plastic shavings and sanding dust from my work area after I was done.
Dick Montgomery Posted November 27, 2012 Report Posted November 27, 2012 These are classics and its always great to see someone do such a good job on them! Have you tried the Snark and Bomarc?
Ron Bell Posted November 27, 2012 Author Report Posted November 27, 2012 Yes. I did the Snark some time ago in SAC markings. Also did the Redstone in OD. Both have been sold off however. The Bomarc makes an appearance in one of the next installments along with the Hawk, Talos and Terrier.
WildBill50 Posted November 27, 2012 Report Posted November 27, 2012 Very cool SAM's, Ron. I built the Herc awhile back and have been waiting for the Ajax to get re-popped. Even with all of the cleanup on them, they really make up into an interesting and different kind of armor piece . Great job. Bill

Rusty White Posted November 28, 2012 Report Posted November 28, 2012 Even the golden oldies can be made into impressive looking models with a little work.
