Picked this baby up today from local hobby store. He said some older man had passed away and his wife had given all his still boxed models to the store. This was the first one he brought in. He said it was quite rare. Hes gona let me look through the rest he has in back tomorrow.

Heres the last two two Ive completed. The P38 is alittle dusty. (Old house) The F-18 is the wrong shade of blue but it was all the store had and I like it and thats all that really matters to me. I just noticed the starboard missle and launcher are MIA. Probally in in the box. Both paint jobs are not very good considering it was my first models that I cared enough about to paint.

Thats an oldie...I think I remember it from when I was young.

but that was weeks ago.

uhhmmm, I know you meant P61 :cool:
I had this model but I cant remember if those guys were in the box or not. at that time I didnt care about details. Just put them together and play fighters with'm. I think in that particular box that model was released about 1974 or 75. I think I built mine about 75

uhhhhhh....

You should slide that pic of the p61 right over to the wishlist forum...
Of course the nay-sayers would complain that it's a night fighter and we don't have night...
I built that same model when I was a kid. About 1979 - 1980.
-
I have a partially-finished P-61B that I was going to finish and send to Pyro as a gift to persuade him to introduce it into AH. :) One of these days I'll finish it, but at the rate my kids keep me on the run, it looks like maybe retirement years!

Don't bother, been asking HT and Pyro for it since 1997, no results. :(

I have built that P-61 kit 3 times over the years. Great kit.
Didn't hold up to the firecrackers though!:D

ITS A GODAMN P61 NUMBNUTS!!!!!!
Sorry, I couldnt resist when you said GF ack!
-
I built a P61 1 or 2 years ago, I think it was a Revell-Monogram, good kit, have fun with it.
-
I'll buy the Intruder off you. That kit is not being produced anymore. And guess what? I'd like to own it. How much you want for it?

Heres one for sale on ebay.

For the price I paid for it and would want in return it would be a rip off for you. The box isnt in great condition either. Sorry.

Thanks for the link Blue :)
I keep hearing rumours that trumpeter is going to release a 1/32 scale A-6 Intruder, anybody know if theres any truth to this statement?

No problem. The hobby store guy charged me $30 for it. I wouldnt wana rip you off to.
-
When Flight of the Intruder was released they produced another set with decals like the movie. I had both kits, and hung them up from my ceiling when I finished them.
The A-6 is my favorite Airplane :)
-
Yep, built that P-61 when I was a kid. It too shared the same fate as all the others, firecrackers and pellet guns.

Never give up the fight Rip!
Bring the Widow to AH!

That's a great kit BlueJ... I've built several of them. I'm hoping I've still got one left buried somewhere in my mom's garage cause I'd love to build another one.

I finished the Black Widow. Some touch up painting still required.

Looks cool dude... but is that top mounted set of 20mm's facing the wrong direction?
Anywho... i think that black widow is a right of passage for all model builders... i did one when i was about 13!
I haven't built anything in a looooong while but every once in a while I get the urge...
This is a Hellcat i did a few months back (1/72 scale)...
(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y70/BigTon/Hellcat10.jpg)
Any other builders out there?
-
The top set of 20mms are facing the wrong way. It rotates. I turned it while I was painting so I didnt accidentally break one of the barrels off. Fortgot to turn it back the right direction.
I also noticed I put one of the decals on the wing on upside down. Doh!

OMG...
One time I was in a flight museum with someone who posts on this BBS and he called an F6F an F4F. Dude I almost choked from the laughter.
This is funnier though. ... phhhfffttttt!! 38???? LOLOLOLOL
You probably aren't even a dweeb and I bet your acne has cleared... poser!
-
those are .50s in the turret!
the 20s are mounted in the bottom of the fuse and are fixed forward.
:aok
-
Send the P61 model to Pyro, along with 6 pizzas...and a stripper...maybe we'll see it in AH...good luck, I gave up trying to convince him.
-
maybe send him a joystick that has two seperate controls for the roll axis?
u'd need that for a plane that has spoilerons & ailerons, wouldn't u?
