I think I finally have a name for this thing, the McBragg Aero Fighter. I'm thinking of going with race car graphics.

[glow=red,2,300]FREDDY FLIP OUT 2012!!![/glow] I wanted to build a Vintage Freddy Flip Out, but they are going for over $400 on Ebay. So I decided to make my own Flip Out for 2012! Freddy Started out as a cross between a Vintage Monogram Freddy Flypogger "SUPER FUZZ" Kit and a Hawk "Beach Bunny" Kit! Most parts are modified. The IN-N-OUT Cup was made from the end of a Sharpie Marker. The Beach Base is Covered with Sand & Real Shells... Surfin' Freddy was a Real Fun Build! I just might try another Surfin' Model...More photos coming! NOTE: FREDDY FLIP OUT IS NOT Entered In The CONTEST, I just built him for FUN!

The lettering is done. The great thing about the lettering on the hood, it covers a bit of bodywork that came back in the paint process. It didn't show up in most of the pics, but in person it was very noticeable. With the pic below, I'm guessing McBragg's running in some sort of outlaw class. I'm thinking tomorrow the Aero Fighter moves to the finished thread.

[glow=red,2,300]FLAMING ORANGE HOG VETTE!!![/glow] I applied a coat of Testors Diamond Dust, then I sprayed 3 more coats of Testors Flaming Orange! After the Orange dried I masked off the body and sprayed 2 coats of Gloss Black! [glow=red,2,300]Turned out OK, Thank Goodness!!![/glow] I always worry that the paint will run under the masking tape...

Freddy looks great. I really like the sand base and the clams with the eyes are a great touch.

[glow=red,2,300]FATTENING UP THE HOG!!![/glow] I started Painting the Hog and realized that He was Too Thin in the Cheeks! I added some Squadren Putty to each Cheek. The Putty works well with the Squlpey. I think that's enough Fat, I'll get back to Painting again...
