This is my first
post on ARC but have been a daily visitor here for 3-4 years. I constructed
this model as a Christmas present for my best friend who used to work for that
company. They may have or may not have been out to get rid of him. I used to kid
him about them following him in a "Black Helicopter" and hovering over
his house. It made for a fun Christmas present and was fun to work on. I
used an Academy model which was my first other than Revell- Monogram. It
took about 15 hours to build that included a lot of decal experimentation.
Decals and Photo Shop work was done by my son Dirk. Logo was taken off the net
and color changed from blue to yellow because they would not show up against the
flat black. Aircraft numbering was done with transfers, and shark teeth were
used from the kit. I use 4 coats Tamiya Smoke to tint the canopy. Body in
flat black and clear flat clear coat to seal decals.

It was not my best
job by far, started on Dec. 22 finished Dec 24, but it was one of the best
fitting kits I have ever done.
