My conversion of the EE R4D-8 kit for polar operations. I extended the nose for the weather radar using Aves Apoxie Sculpt and used skis from the Minicraft R4D-5. Antennas were cut from a styrene sheet or sourced from other kits.

Thanks Erik & James. I was just looking for an excuse to use that AK Real Luminous Orange. Different type of paint for sure. Reminded me of their clear colors.

Nathan, Very nice work. Yes, excellent Int'l orange paint. Is it like the old testors Model Master day-glo, very thin? I think I always sprayed over flat white to help "catch" the orange paint better. Your kit turned out real well. Kind regards, Dutch

Thank you Robert & Dutch!

Dutch: Yes, I had to paint it over white. The way it painted reminded me of those clear colors that Tamiya and AK make. You had to keep layering it until the color was more solid.

Thanks very much Mr James. After building this little guy I have the urge to build it again in a larger scale.
