Thanks folks.

A sick colleague required me to attend work early and thus cut short my bench time today but I did get some undercoat on the Farting Falcstang.

Like the Buick particularly.

Thanks Rick. It's been in my stash forever but I had no inspiration until recently. I love the shape of the car but didn't know what I wanted to do to it.

I still think all Buicks should have portholes in the front wings (fenders....)

Two thoughts on paint job. A variation on the YF-16 Red/White/Blue, or Tophe inspired Sky Blue.

centerline split with both? sorry

Sky blue on top with red, white, and blue belly?

Europe One wraparound, as it's a magnificent mud mover.

Quote from: zenrat on January 01, 2023, 04:19:22 AMNot sure about a Scootstang but I like the thought of a Sabre Dogstang. The wing guns would come in usefull

Well I pulled the kit's out today and it turns out that it's one of those things that looks the part in the mind but In reality not so much...

Wings and tail group look WAY too small on the Sabre Dog fuselage. $:-\$

Found this on Facebook, F-86 with Mustang wings and tail. Doesn't look too badly out of proportion.

Wasn't there a lead up to the F-86 that was much like this?

I've got some F-86 fuselages in a drawer. I need some Mustang wings. The Airfix kit is at Hobby Lobby and with their periodic 40% off kits it would be reasonable. I also have some Skyraider wings too. Hmmmmm.......
