Hi all

Whilst sourcing parts for the Flying Parcel Machine I assembled the collection of the parts below........

As usual no pre planning at all on this one I'm just going to kit bash them together an hopefully make something eye catching.

The role of this aircraft is an unmanned fire watch vehicle used by forestry services, but there is no reason it could not be used for military purposes

More when it happens.........

I like the concept.

Looks like some Phantom phins. Carry on!

Robomog · « **Reply #3 on:** January 29, 2023, 10:21:45 AM »

Thanks guys.

Yea I thought they are phantom fins, the locating tabs (now gone

) were at a very sharp angle. Taking into account the colour and panel lines I reckon they are ex matchbox.

Just realised I need to etch some ailerons on $:-\$

Looks like plenty of real estate to work with in that regard. Don't forget flaps and spoilers! Are you going to fill the Matchbox trench diggers work?

Yep PSR will out !

Hi all

PSR has outed and has been suitably rubbed down.

I've added an air intake and sensor/camera dome plus a couple of aerials.

This one is ready for painting ......

Nifty build

Kerick · « **Reply #8 on:** February 07, 2023, 01:21:21 AM »

Will it be white and red?

Robomog · « **Reply #9 on:** February 07, 2023, 01:59:15 AM »

I'm thinking yellow with a red tail and wing tips,
something like that

Cool reuse of parts! It reminds me of the Tacit Blue:

Robomog · « **Reply #11 on:** February 15, 2023, 06:41:44 AM »

Hmmmm. Never seen that one before.

Bit more progress :-

Finally getting the hang of the new fangled airbrush

Red bits next.......

Thanks for looking.....

Nice,,, never tried airbrushing. Best of luck with it !

Robomog · « **Reply #13 on:** March 01, 2023, 05:51:56 AM »

And suddenly, it's all finished !

And a couple of scale shots to show how small it is....

I'm very pleased how this one turned out, amazing what you can do with a few random parts.

As always, all comments and criticisms gratefully accepted

Sweet!

Jeffry Fontaine · « **Reply #15 on:** March 01, 2023, 08:34:38 AM »

Great job and excellent re-use/re-purpose of left over parts! I have a couple of those very same reconnaissance pods in my own stash and often wondered what could be done with the things. Same problem with the TARPS pod from the F-14 kits.

Frank3k · « **Reply #16 on:** March 01, 2023, 08:56:50 AM »

It looks great! Those random parts went together well.

Right on.

Looks like a happy model with a humane mission.

Woh!

Ah! Now I can see!

Cute (& BRIGHT) little thing, ain't it!

That's a tidy little fire spotter! Nicely done.

Dr. YoKai · « **Reply #22 on:** March 01, 2023, 11:02:27 PM »

Very neat! Pairing it with the vehicle and figure really makes it pop.

Kerick · « **Reply #23 on:** March 02, 2023, 01:24:21 AM »

Nicely done!
I’ve got one of those TARPS pods, been laying around for years. Now I know what to do with it.

Great parts bash and excellent work on the scheme
