Not
satisfied with last week’s twofer completion, today we have a threefer. Two are simple models, but the third was relatively complex for its size.
The
first completion is from a Hasegawa air support set. It is a transport carriage
for the 370 gallon tank that hangs off of an F-4. I poked around for the
appropriate tank, but I really have relatively few F-4 kits. If I should run
across one at a later date I will reshoot the photo in order to be able to show
the cart in actual use.
The
second completion is the companion to the previous RAF 8k bomb. This is its
smaller brother, an RAF 4k bomb. Same canister shape, same segmented
construction, but a smaller diameter casing. It is shown loaded onto a previously completed transport.
Finally
comes a Ford military tractor from the Vietnam era. This too has its origins in
the Hasegawa support set. It is clearly an older Hasegawa tooling, with detail
on the sparse side, but construction is easy enough. If you want to do anything
to the interior you’ll probably want to paint it overall Olive Drab with the
cab ceiling separate, do the detail painting, and then attach the roof. The
white reflector stripes do not come as decals in the kit, so I had to take some
Xtradecal white stripes and cut them to size. It was a hit and miss affair,
especially since those stripes come with an overall carrier film, which makes
cutting and getting them actually on the model a chore. The other decals are,
as you would expect, tiny indeed, but the usual SuperSet/Sol process made them
behave.
