Older Radish Models....

[Radish]

Yes it was fun to do, and probably because of the oddities, very quickly built....just about 3-4 days from start to finish.

[Weaver]

LOL - that's excellent! 

Gives me an idea too - what about a fighter plane modified to meet the road traffic regulations? Bumpers (fenders), lights at the right height and spacing, spare wheel, legal exhaust volume etc.....

[Radish]

Don't forget the FSW "Reliant Tornado" on p3, but here's a pretty much straight from the box 1/48th Monogram ANR Night Attack Me-262, all painting from Tamiya hand-painted acrylics, and markings from Aeromaster for a Bf-109G.

[Radish]

And when I was active in the Quarter Scale Group, I sometimes slipped "generic" models in, like this all-black 9th AF A-20G (by AMT) which was quite popular. It's now deceased like the ANR 262. I also did a Ukrainian "SS" '262 which is now gone as well....must have a photo somewhere though.....

Cracking 262.  Shame its gone to the big styrene pile in the sky, would have looked good alongide IHGs Italian one.

[Radish]

I also built one in 1/72nd, "day fighter" colours, alongside an Air Defence Fw-190D...all ANR though. The '190D had lots of bright green on......I'll try and find a photo.

hope everyone's enjoying the trail down memory lane.
Apologies for the crap pictures....never too great with me.

Things get broken at shows, or I recycle the spinner....when they've been around for a few years they get a bit battered or perhaps even given away. I used to do up to 15 shows/displays a year once upon a time.

Now here's one from aeons ago....about 1984....Twin SHARs from the Matchbox Shar.

[nev]

That Rex, I gotta admit, if you hadn't said what it was, I would have glanced at it and thought it was a real subject

[Radish]

The North Koreans allegedly had La-7s during the Korean War, but La-7s would have rotted by then as much of the construction was of wood. But I built one for Quarter Scale Group anyway, from the Hobbycraft/Academy kit, using Tamiya paints and AeroMaster MiG-15 decals.

While building my STOVL Canberra I was thinking about something like that too, I've got two 1/48 Harriers to use up seeing as I've helped myself to a number of bits from the boxes.

[Radish]

The SHAR was easy as the wing/fuselage joins on the kit were parallel to the centreline, so the filling bit between was just a rectangle shapre
