E2-c Hawkeye 1/72 from Fujimi

[dollar19]

I've been working on this little bird for a while and thought now is as good a time as any to share it here. This is from the first release of the kit dating back to the mid 80's. I've had it in my stash since the mid 80's! :woohoo:

Any and all comment and/or suggestions welcome.

Crank up the microwave on that thing and point it toward some popcorn. I'm ready to see you spray some paint again.

Hiya Dollar.

That is a pretty cool looking Hawkeye you got there. But it looks like you have a slight problem . It looks like it is slowly disassembling itself hmy:

De-construction is I believe the correct term. :laugh:

Okay Moon Puppy...... I'm not far away from painting. A couple more fiddly bits and some liqa-mask on the clear parts and away we spray.

but .... I'm missing the water table

I have finally gotten around to getting some paint going.

Looking good, paint will make this really shine. Be careful of the seamline above the cockpit.

I kinda let this one slide, but I'm back on it. The bench is getting to the point I can't tell what kit I'm working on. So here it is now with a coat of gull gray. The masking was a bit of a mind number, but it turned out well.

Just a little more paint work......

Here we go with some decals......

Fine job Greg!

Thanks Moon Puppy. Here's another installment with a few more decal on it. If work and life will get the heck off my back I might get this finished.

 

[moon puppy]

ain't never gonna get finish sitting in that box like that. I'm a fine one to talk...The windscreen, is the light catching it funny or did you do something to it?

 

[jknaus]

It'll get finished..... I need the bench space. It must be the light.

 

[dollar19]

A little closer to the finish line. I've got a little overspray to clean up I see.
