Hello!
That was very simplified model, one of the oldest I've ever made. But hey...It's a JET HYDROFOIL, I had to have it
Aftermarket used:
1/72 CMK 40 mm gun and twin brownings, railing posts and winch from RB Model, two antennas from Master, Kajika 1/700 chain
Other upgrades:
soldered brass mast, gun guard, rear wash guard and flag staffs
scratchbuild exhaust, rear twin cannon, rudders
added lenses for lights and wave guard around 40 mm gun
modified instruments on top of bridge
minor upgrades of "boxes" between gun and superstructure
Model was painted with AK paint range, weathered with AMMO fluids and AK pencils.
Decals were so delicate (after 56 years) that I've nearly lost them, thankfully I've managed to use all but two.
I'm quite pleased with my Tucumcari, I must say
Hope you'll like it
