No.86 North American A-5 Vigilante, OBP, originally 1/67
Too sleepy last probably and forgot to mention that the Vigilante is Aaron Murphy's design
purchased long ago at Ecardmodels at $3.95. You'd better grab it before he puts it on his
new site for $5 at least.
Okay, inspired by Bruno's Vigilant, I suddenly remembered that I have this model idling in my
heaps of printed papers. Took it out and built it rightaway yesterday and here it is.
For fear of tail-heaviness, I put in a small fishing lead bead in the nose cone.
The original scale is 1/67 and I downscaled it to 1/200. The only remark is
that the twin exhausts are quite tricky to build. And be prepared to do it over
and again to get them look nice.
Bruno's version(s) will also be built to present them on this series. He's done
pretty good colouring on the tail fin(s).
