Story Posted April 12, 2020 Share #1 Posted April 12, 2020 The product of an over-active imagination during Quarantine. 'Limelight' night vision spotlight (Lindberg T55 IR light), two .60 caliber T-17/T-18 heavy machineguns (Lindberg 12.7mm Dhsk) and two .50 M3 Brownings (chin turret). Crewman (TAMIYA WW2 tanker) mansplaining things to a Stark Industries representative (Italeri Fraulein Flunky). Fuel cans and antenna mount swiped from the spares box as well. Probably could use a bit of pencil-weathering and some black wash in predictable places, but I'm done with it for now. I figure this design was il-balanced with inappropriate armament and not enough on-board ammunition, under-powered, mechanically delicate, prone to overheating and having only a single crewman in a pre-analog /mechanical context, just not really that great (sort of a pre-cursor to ED-209). This is actually a build for a friend's shelf - [url=https://www.themodellingnews.com/2015/05/review-bandai-148th-star-wars-at-st-is.html]1/48th MPC-now-Bandai snap tite kit with a pre-war US insignia from Testors Curtiss Racer kit. Primed with rattle can OD green. "Made in the USA". Now that's a label I have not seen in a long time..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
