COLONIAL VIPER: FINISHED

[Down Time]

1978 Monogram kit, yup the one that shoots and as a kid pissed me off as much as a boy could be pissed when it broke. Didn't last long anyway as I recall.

Any way building it without the plunger shooter, for the pleasure of my eyes. A bit of a side step while I wait for the infantry to backup the Sherman.

Those guys are waiting for their buddies to take some ground in France or Germany....

Small advancement, had to putty up the back too many gaps, now I don't see light when looking from the front.

 

[Eagle-1]

Lookin' good!

 

[Down Time]

Lookin' good!

Small advancement tonight, glues the fuselage into the intakes. I want to let the glue set good before I do any more, this kit seems to require a little horsing here and there.

 

[Quaralane]

A lot of work goes into making that one look good.
On the bright side, no cockpit interior to deal with

 

[Down Time]

Far cry from how I built them when I was a kid......

[Eagle-1]

Rob.

 

[Down Time]

Because when we were 10 we didn't see

 

[Eagle-1]

Oh, I beg to differ. Seen like a beagle then, now I'm blind in one eye and can't see outta the other'n.

[Down Time]

When I was a kid, just slapped models together, kept 'em for a while, then onto a flight stuffed with Black Cats.......

 

[Eagle-1]

You all had far-poppers AND models?????

Jees...

We wouldn't have been friends when I was growin' up. I woulda got beat up for hanging around with a rich kid.
