cal nat airways Northrop F15 Reporter firebomber
Posted: Sun Jan 10, 2021 4:00 pmwell my first for the year....the old Monogram P61 with Lone Star F15 conversion plus added Lone star firebomber conversion.
i9 have been doing this for a few months but it is done....the only extra's i used were a pair of Quickboost engines as the lone star set had after spinners that were removed for this particular plane after being converted to spinnerless Hamilton standard props as the perfomance wasnt great with a load with the Curtiss electric propsand wheels from a GWH P61 as the monogram ones were a little toy like(i have Eduard wheels from the GWH P612)
the paints are Gunze whit primer..Tamiya AS12 and Tamiya red..the decals are from the conversion with exception of the 35's on the wings that were omitted from the conversion so were printed by a friend.
