Title: William Tell Meet
Post by: ScranJ51 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

4 Revell F-16ADF kits (at $15 each) did the trick!

That orange Sabre-Dog is bound to turn heads!

Talk about eye candy!

Nice work on the registration codes and aerial target!
