A (mostly) complete build of my 1/72 Academy 1/72 F-89J Scorpion. This was a very nice kit overall, hampered though it is with Academy's typical decals.
I don't have much to say in this description. Generally good kit, decent fit, typical Academy model kit decals. I apparently didn't record most of the painting which is unfortunate and why this is only a (mostly) full build.
I wanted to publish this the week I broke 5000 subscribers but end of term stuff started ramping up and I left my microphone at my parent's house and it just didn't work out until now- however, that means I can wish you all a Merry Christmas here!

I've never been much of a jet fan but as I've been looking at these earlier ones there is such interesting variety.

I’m not the only one to start models then forget about them for several years. Have a great Christmas and new year.

Lovely build! I'm impressed by the size of this aircraft. It looks huge even on 1/72 scale. Thanks for sharing your build with us.

Looks awesome. I love the F-89- I've actually got all the kits for each version and am hoping to dig into them this summer. Great work and great vid!

Great job on the 🦂 Scorpion. The brownish pre-shade worked well with the grey top color. Rockets look wicked. Too bad no aircrew figures. Bill

have you ever built gunpla?

@TheWaggishAmerican Жыл бұрын

I haven't. I only really have watched a few gundam anime and no one seems to make kits of the one I especially liked. I did do a blind box gundam head a number of years ago. It should still be on my channel.

Academy kits are soo bad

@TheWaggishAmerican Жыл бұрын

I like a few of the kits and they are generally reasonably priced but decals are always awful and accuracy is generally questionable. They seem to do a lot worse with jets than with WWII era stuff- Their 72nd scale P47 and P40 are some of my favorite kits ever, but their A10 is pretty rough fit wise. Here's hoping the F22 and F35 are better, I haven't taken them out of the box yet.

Originally the Hobbycraft kit from 1992.
