Dork the kit slayer






Seems to me that the forum was in need of a little "Dork" style lunacy.

This Spanish recce bird is presented in the scheme used on the Iberian peninsular and retained for the delivery flight to Morocco,the week before last.
The original was fitted with a photo system similar to a "TARPS" pod as used on the Hasegawa 48th Tomcats. When I say similar it actually needed a 1.72nd one. (those TARPS pods are a seriously big piece of kit)
My mate Karen the librarian is providing one for fitting in the near future ( around April 1959) the immediate decision requiring your collective input is "which drop tanks ?"  Once I fit the pod and tanks,paint touch up and a coat of matt should complete the build



Your thoughts on a stamped addressed horse trough to someone you may think actually cares :drink: :drink: :drink: :drink: :drink: :drink:

I wondered where you had got to Alan :)

Good looking 107 mate, the Spanish scheme suits it.
as for the drop tanks, Id go for the one at the bottom of the photo.
I always hope for the best.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
