Fisher Models 1/32 RB-51 Reno Racer

[youngtiger1]

Ok guys, here I go...1st WIP in my model building history. So, be easy on me... :) This will be a slow WIP cause my work bench is a coffee table in the family-room and from time to time I loose the property rights to it as well.

Most modelers are familiar with Fisher Models. He creates his own kits and they are fully resin. I'm going to try and build Fisher's 1/32 Red Baron RB-51 Mustang. It is a wonderful kit and builds into an impressive model that is sure to catch every ones attention.

When I first opened the box I was blown away by the one piece fuselage and wing. It sure makes things much easy when all I have to do is glue the together and 75% of the kit is done. Can't go wrong with that

Dennis Miller once said what's with Nancy Pelosi face? It's like she's always in the wind tunnel...

As with resin sets/kits, I always do the bleach bath of the stuff before I start working with it that way I don't encounter any nasty surprises later on. So, tonight they are bathing. I'll dry them tomorrow and then get busy building :D

THAT is a great-looking kit!!! I'm looking forward to seeing this one take shape!

Fisher Models is a top notch company. Their F9F Panther is beautiful.

Looking forward to seeing this out of the ordinary build.

I wasn't familiar with Fisher Models but that looks like a very nice kit. I'm envious of the landing gear alone. You say 'take it easy' on you but now I'll be expecting great things after seeing the kit.;)

Ditto!

They ain't cheap, but they're well worth the money. Judged an F9F at one of our shows a while back and it was stunning! Can't wait to see this one finished. :D
