C-97 and EC-121

Got round to a bit of modelling this afternoon for the first time in months.
Masking cockpits on Minicraft heavies.
£8 and £16 respectively from the show at North Shields.
Not perfect masking but a start and means I can fill and put on a primer coat.
Cheers, David

I know they’re not everyone’s cup of tea, but I like these Minicraft kits. The Connie in particular needs sanding on every part before you can use it.

I love the Connie it is such a beautiful aircraft. When I was serving in Malta in the mid 1960s there was one parked alongside the civilian airport building, it was there for many months, the story was that it was impounded because it had been used for gun running. I wish I had photographed it but didn't.

There is a picture at https://www.flickr.com/photos/harryclaggers/30753196574 of this Constellation which ended up as a bar in Malta. This article https://www.guidememalta.com/en/throwba ... lation-bar refers.

Managed to get a bit of airbrushing done this evening.
