Tucson Trio

Post by daveF »

Earlier this year I made it to the Pima Air and Space Museum, flew over AMARG and peered through the fences of the scrapyards at Tucson, AZ.
My next three builds will be of some of the gems I got close to:
NASA C-130 Minicraft kit with Draw Decals
VC-118 Minicraft
NASA 747SP SOFIA Welsh kit with V1 decals.
The NASA frames will need some scratch building which will be fun.

On holiday; managing to find the odd half an hour for some modelling.

Masked cockpit and 12 mm ball bearing for the radar nose. Cockpit looks a little empty so might try knocking something up for that.
