Tucson Trio

[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.

Definitely looking forward to seeing these at a show

Some progress and industrial level clamping on the Herc.

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.

Basic cockpit added.

Ball bearing radome superglued on.

Shiney!

Hope to have these ready for Bolton.
The lower fuselage of the C-118 needed building up with filler.

Masking takes ages, doesn’t it?
