That's a good idea - I'll remember the floor protector trick.  :thumbsup:

It's absolutely scary how perfect and convincing your Tiger Eye looks with the paint on. In one of those colorful mid-1970s squadron schemes it'll be pure eye candy!

She looks sweet, man, seriously - the colours really unify it and make it pop, such a clean, flashy look.

Makes me all the more curious to go see if there actually IS a hummer living at the local airport now.

Eddie, is this going to be NAVY bird?

Pretty interesting layout with triple tail!

You know, with that tail it looks so much like it could have been an earlier branch of the OV-1 Mohawk family that I'd be seriously tempted to put army markings on it.

Heresy, I know saying that to a navy guy as I am...just saying though... :thumbsup:

Are you building her gears down or up? I guess she'd need a far more robust nose gear leg to handle landing with that extra load.

Hello Everyone! Back again. Upnorth, it will be a gear up model. I think I'll use an old airliner stand to display it.

Thanks to the generousity of BdaB, this one looks like it will turn out well. Thank you Brian! :D


Look behind you!

Eddie, that is the sweetest paintjob I've seen in a long time.
