Dragline Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Looks like it's Dave Deal day for some of us. here is another that's been long done but has been put away out of sight for some time now. Duplicolor red with dechromed exhaust. I tried my hand at faux wood on the prop. Came out pretty cool for a first try. Viva Dave Deal!!!!!

Dave Van Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Nice clean build. I think I built all the Dave Deal kits back in the day......have a few mint kits to try again someday. Many years ago I thought about the Dave Deal plane kits and wondered what a Tom Daniel plane based kit MIGHT look like. This was the result. BAD SPAD showrod........It was fun anyway!!!! 1/28 Revell Spad kit was the base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TooOld Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Very cool Bob ! The wood prop looks great as does the black exhaust , it does look better than the chrome ! I've got two of these to build again when I get the time . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragline Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 (edited) Thanks Bob. Aside from the terrible parting line that was going to be obvious I think the black exhaust strikes balance a bit. There is already quite a bit of chrome and figured I could not only get rid of a glaring flaw but also give it a tougher Hot Rod look. Bob Oh! And that's a serious looking contraption Dave.

Kennyboy Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 GREAT job on this Bob!! The wood on the prop is VERY convincing! LOVE it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RatRod Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Really nice Bob, it's great to see these kits getting built!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragline Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 Thanks John. What I've been looking for is the Flap Jack kit. I look on eBay and only see ads for sale. Perhaps I'm not looking hard enough. If you know that kit then you know what a Hoot it is. I had one as a kid and would like another shot at it. That thing flapped and jumped around like it missed its Ritalin dose. I'll keep looking till I find one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
