Title: The Pulpy Pelican
Post by: gary42 on 05 December 2014, 05:49:29 PM

Just received this from FFG.  As mentioned in another post, price turned out very good.  About 23 buckes delivered.  Can't wait to paint it!  Looking into nose art... A Pelican maybe?:)

Going to make "dug in" unexploded ordnance out of the bombs for plot points

I have only ever seen, the box art. They look great outside the box and match up well to the other 28mm's

That's very Ghibli-esque  8)

Where might one be purchased, I'm not sure what FFG means.

cheers

I usually agree with this but the FFG sale was by far the best sale in the history of sales.

Very nice, I look forward to seeing how this progresses.

I got a very big box from the FFG sale today but it all goes under the tree.  ;)

She's a beauty hey.

Pink, that's an interesting choice. I look forward to your progress Gary. I've got one on my bench too.

Cheers

More maroon than pink.  Tried every setting and couldn't get the colour right!

That is a lovely color for that plane. The nose reminds me of one of the under-remembered WW2 greats, the P38 Lightning

Love the P-38!
