1/72 Academy A-37B Dragonfly

Hi there, this is my first time here.  Hope you like it.

This is the Academy A-37B Dragonfly 1/72 kit No. 1672.  It has engraved panel lines and comes with great detail in my opinion. 

This kits represents the A-37B used at O.S.A.N airbase.  Some modifications  I made on this kit are:

  • Cutting off the tail elevators.

  • I replaced the cannon with a hypodermic needle.

  • Scratch made seat belts.

  • Added antennas made of fishing thread.

I painted the model overall gunship gray mixed with Navy aggressor grey from Model Master, so it will not look too dark.

I used the kit's decals which in my opinion are not so good.  I weathered the panel lines with black acrylic paint and chalk pastels for the rest.

Hope you like it as much as I do. Thanks. 

Franz
