1/48 Hobby Boss U-2S

[F-104nut]

Sorry ive not posted ina while ivbe bounched around o0n several projects and lostr interewst till i got the HB U=-2S in the mail . Beena big fan of Lockheed aircraft for a long time , Lightning , U-2, Sr-71 and F-104 . After getting the HB U-2 in the mail got my mojo back. The kit fit is WAY better then the Italeri kit by far. I havce the Caracal decals I'll use and probably and aftermarket seat since window will be open . I started with the cockpit which is pretty nice . I got the ASAR's 2 nose and chose the Senior Ruby Sensor Pods varient for the build. Took a little sanding to blind the nose pods on but better fit thern Italeri kit . I also found out= the U-2 had folding wing tips . This will make it fit my display case . Ill use tap top make the straspe and scratch build the bumpers for when the wings are folded
