    Bird Dog

    Airfix 1/72 Cessna O-1A Bird Dog, an old 70's bubble-pack kit which I finished in Thai markings using home-made decals. The windows were the biggest issue with the model; I used the kit windscreen/rear window but replaced all the others with acetate. It's also re-scribed and I added a few details inside and out.

        You know there are builders on here that can make you want to go out and buy a kit you wouldn't even look twice at in a shop !

        This is one of those times , this is simply stunning well done

          Hi Mike

          I'm running out of superlatives for your builds!

          Superb finish and detail that's even more incredible given the model's size.

          Beautiful

          Paul

                            Well spotted Ian, I knew he had some trick

                            Seriously though that's another beautiful little model, about as good as it gets.....fantastic.

                            Cheers
