Spaceowl's VNAF O-2 **Finished**

Pre-1980 boxings of any kit, but preferably hard to obtain -- something that would make a collector cringe to see built.

I'll re-post some pictures when the replacement decals come. In the meantime, pictures of the virtually complete kit are in the finished builds section. And here:

What a beauty. Very nice woek on this one. Now I really want to get mine built. Unfortunately I have Telford and other gb commitments.

All the best.

That's a real beauty in my book! I really like your work on the panel lines which really capture the feel of those aircraft well. I always enjoy seeing VNAF markings, probably because I remember them from the evening news back then.

Great job Spaceowl, good to see the parrot didn't completely ruin the decals.

Note: Completed images have been changed to reflect the new updated decals that were missing from the original decal sheet. This was mostly prop warning markings and the medical box forward of the pilot position.
