1/72 Boeing YP-4 Bluejay

[Howard of Effingham]

another masterpiece from BdB and way cool even with spats as they are. i would
have gone with vertical trousered ones myself!        

[John Howling Mouse]

Wow, now that's what I call scratch-bashing!    

Makes me want to send a bunch of fueltanks your way in different scales just to see what would become of them!    

[Supertom]

Damn, that's pretty good.

Spare drop-tanks, wings, and any other parts you don't want are gratefully accepted! I'm glad you like my little drop-tank models. I don't know what it is, but I find these little projects to be some of the most satisfying ones I build.

Stay tuned. I'm busy converting a model-stand base into an entry in the U.S.A.F. 60th Anniversary GB!

Great job, Brian ! And thanks to your foot, we got to see her sans ring...which looks much nicer, and claener, if you ask me. I know we were losing at the polls, so cheers to your foot !

love the paint scheme, really suits her. And do I sense the wing tip tanks from an Avro CF-100 ?



I've got more of them if you need some, incl. some 48th scale, if you want to do a drop-tank bomber in the future !

 

[Brian da Basher]

I'd be very pleased to accept them, Cap'n! I'm down to my last two drop-tanks, all the others remaining (1/144 scale from B-47 kits) are slated to become engine pods on other projects.

And yes, the drop-tank I used for the Bluejay is indeed left over from that wonderful Clunk you sent me!

I am so smart. S-M-R-T.........

I'll dig thru the cave andd see what I can crawl out with !

A wonderful little fighter     These drop tank models are just amazing    

[cthulhu77]

Now, that little fighter has some serious cajones!  As would the pilot...can you imagine ripping around in that little sucker? It would have left pylon racers in the dust...Damn Nice Build ! (DNB)
