Once those show up, we'll get this show on the road. Just made an order for the Resin2detail cockpit set (plus exhausts and a sweet looking. But with dry-fitting and fiddling it eventually 'falls' into place. Fit is about as good as when you try to close the gear doors on a monogram kit.

Also notched out the area for clear windows behind the pilot. Have opened up the bomb-bay, turtle-back and the rudder. Here you can see the cut's I've already started. Soft plastic, check. Soft details, check. Frankly after building a bazillion Monogram F-4s in my youth, I'm right at home. Hal's plane is #5 in the color profiles from the Osprey book (used for illustrative purposes)Īlready started cutting plastic. Managed to hit Zuikaku during the Mariannas Turkey Shoot and still made it back during the famous mission into darkness on 20 June 1944. Dude essentially survived every major carrier battle of the pacific, from Coral Sea to Leyte. If you haven't read 'Dauntless Helldivers' I HIGHLY recommend it. If I do a -1C, I'll do Hal Buell's plane from the Battle of the Philippine Sea. Here's a great image of one of her Beasts.

I've wanted a LSP Helldiver for a while, but Infinity's offering gave me pause. My earliest memories are sitting on a fence at the ranch as he and my father chatted. It goes back to my childhood where the local crop-duster had flown them in the war. My name is Peter and I'm a huge Helldiver junky.
