Or don't build it at all - just the (colored) sprues and a fake packaging next to them.

Something like this, just with appropriate parts...

Which reminds me of the time that Hasegawa were just about to release their I-16.

I was at a Twin Cities Aero Historians meeting that week and three of us got an old Revell I-16, cut all the parts off the sprues and glued them onto a Hasegawa sprue, from a P-40 I think. Then we sprayed it all grey, put it in a plastic bag and took it to the meeting as a 'pre-production sample'.

MUCH hilarity followed as the resident JMNs picked up all the 'errors' in it. We only just got out of there without being lynched.

I think I still have the 'kit' somewhere too, I'll have to look it out.

You could sell that for a FORTUNE on ebay!

Oh, I see so many people with evil ideas here...... I like it !

As I was away whole week, not much done was made, but at least the first colors has been brushed - white:

Luckily I have a spare airbrush, as the replacement parts after my USS King disaster have not arrived yet.

Looking good !

nönöbär · June 28, 2015, 08:50:07 AM

Now all colors are painted, just some minor corrections are required:

I also received some decals for a Marineflieger Starfighter, so they should fit quite well.

Captain Canada · June 28, 2015, 01:39:45 PM

Gorgeous. This is going to be one good looking Bucc !

Dizzyfugu · June 30, 2015, 12:19:19 AM

Those classic NATO colors suit the Bucc very well!

DogfighterZen · July 01, 2015, 01:09:06 PM

Yep, those colors suit this one very well!

And i can imagine it in German markings...

Well, 37° Celsius is simply too hot for scale building. Paint is drying on the brush in a few moments.

All parts are added to the Buccaneer, waiting for its decals now.

Time to start something new:

This time, a quite old Lindberg Dornier Do 335 model will be the start. I got this one on ebay for a few € a while ago and when opening the box, I saw that it was already started.

Well, as its a quite simple kit, it does not hurt to use this as the starting point for a modified version of the do 335 - the Do 335 TL.

So there is what to use:

Now that kit brings some memories back.

Love those old kits like that....looks like it was just removed from the sprues ?

Well, all the green parts were in the box this way. And some of them - like the wings - were already painted in some kind of horrible blue in the inside....Luckiely this will not be visible in the finished model.
The gray parts will be used for the conversion that I have in mind (need some other stuff fomr the spare parts box as well).
