« on: May 07, 2016, 09:15:20 AM »
I read (as a kid) about the annual "William Tell" gunnery/missile meets the USAF held, so I decided to create a dio (1/48th):

First up - the Target tower:

Started with this:


Liberal coat of dayglo orange

The Rego N20C wa created by taking the N from NAVY and cutting the last part of the second 0 in 200

I then added the aerial target from one of the weapon kits
