A brace of 1:48 Hustlers

[Johni044]

My recent attempts at this kit, well there's actually two releases here, the original Monogram release 5704, and a subsequent Revell re-boxing 04337. With the age of the Mongram kit the decals had not faired too well, so I used the Revell set for both builds only using the Monogram ones where necessary.

The SEA was my first attempt at using an airbrush which did not go too well and was subsequently brush painted to resolve and touch up the problems, the silver bird is completely brush painted with Humbrol Aquacolor paints with some being mixed to try and give some tonal variation.

Wow, two great builds there. One of my favourite aircraft the Hustler. I remember them as a kid and they were like something from outer space at the time.

These are great, very nice detailing with a very I'm in service clean look. I do like these planes as with most 60s aircraft built for speed.
