Here are some WIP shots of my Convair AV-2A Copperhead aka 1/72 KP XFY-1 Pogo.
Inspiration came from the
US Army fixed wing aviation thread and this
one using the Lindberg 1/48 Pogo.
It will be finished in overall OD with decals from my Huey kits/sheets.
Please ignore the tape / blue tac.
What did I do/use?
- Seat and stick from a Revell SR-71
- Cockpit side panels from a Monogram F-4C Phantom
- Ejection rings/handles from a Monogram F-4C Phantom
- Four underwing hardpoints from an OA-4M.
- TER, Bombs and XM-200 from the Hasegawa Weapons No. 1
- Two 20mm Colt Mk 12 cannons. One in each wing pod. From the A-4 and 1/2 of a 250KG bomb. .
- Added engine exhaust pipes.
- The pitot tubes are on order from Hannants. They are Master Model F-100 units. I broke the ones that came with the kit.
Do I have the Ginter XFY-1 book? Nope. Am I making this up as I go along? Yup.
