Re: Kit's Airfix Cessna O-2
Thanks guys,
Main airframe together now and painted ready for decaling. Only filler used was at the boom to wing join. Not bad for a 46 year old tooling
Decals are on and setting, seem to have worked well considering their age. Next step dangly bits
Thanks for looking

Re: Kit's Airfix Cessna O-2
Looks really nice kit but, man, those are big sink marks in the booms. More like sink craters
Maybe they're deliberate and Airfix planned them to appear under the wing roots

Re: Kit's Airfix Cessna O-2
I have one of these in a later boxing and it's a terrible fit. I started it and threw it back in the box.
It's a pity because I had been chasing one for years as I remember my Dad building it from the Dogfight Doubles boxing.

shangos70:- yeh as I said, I had a later boxing and it was so bad the moulds were most likely shot. Didn't go back in the box, went in the bin
Anyway declaring this one finished
Anyone that is after one, definitely go for the earlier packs, at least they fit
Thanks for looking

Always liked those O-2As for some reason. That looks a little gem.

Brilliant work, those small antenna make a big difference.
My work bench is starting to look like Portsmouth Naval Dockyard.

Re: Kit's Airfix Cessna O-2 ** FINISHED**
Love it. Both your builds for this GB are kits that I have been after for years.
I hope Airfix re-issue both these soon.
