I did finally wind up putting that thing together. Then I painted it acording to the Chinese Camouflage scheme on the cover of the box. I was not able to get the patches of green to lay down on the base color evenly. I was really disappointed in the results as far as a scale model would be...
That's what I finally figured out about this experiment was that I had applied this stuff too thick and expected it to dry hard. All of it needs to be applied pretty thin. For thick applications The greens tuff works best for me the Perfect putty works pretty good for minor gaps and thin...
Neat model. It's great that you got a deal on something you have been wanting. I've always loved the Flying Monkeys. I want one for a pet. I wonder how hard they are to house Break?
Brilliant Job as usual.
I seem to remember there was a Saturday Cartoon in the 60's where the Protagonist and Antagonist raced giant wheels like this. Can't remember the name.
Had a thought an amusing pose for a pilot in a scene like this might be holding a clipboard. Doing a pre operation check list? Not at all sure this is original?
Really good model, realistic looking. As an aside once I was driving on the Freeway in So Cal when a Column of those thing zipped past. They are really big and tall. Even though there was no actual danger the guys sticking out of the top hatches reflexively ducked when they went under an overpass:^)
