Revell Lacrosse Missile Mobile Launcher
Howdy,
Here’s my build of the 1958 Revell Lacrosse Missile Launcher. I fixed up the tilt and made most of the decals for the missile. The truck decals are from the Tamiya CCKW.

Hi There,
I bought this at Scale Scotland Murrayfield last year and have been scared stiff to cut the wings ever since.

I may as well jump in on this bandwagon honoring the 75th anniversary of VJ Day that marked the end of fighting in the PTO. Here's my tribute to Ike Kepford who was the Navy's highest scoring WWII F4U ace with 16 victories. I built this [...]
