YP-80A Over Italy 1945

[TheRealMrEd]

While looking over my Lockheed collection of P-80 derivatives, I noticed that I had no P-80A. The Sword kit provided the solution, but only after fixing one MAJOR error in the kit. For those interested in that discussion and fix, the build thread is HERE

For those just curious, here are the pics.

Thanks for looking.

Great work! 1/48 scale?

Nope, God's own 1/72...

Nice! FSM had an article on converting the Monogram 1/48 kit to a P-80A. I tried it with a Hawk T33A, before realizing there was a big problem.

Which FSM issue please?

FSM Master Index attached. It should be listed in there.

And it is a YP-80A conversion, in the January 1989 issue of FSM. When I get a chance I'll scan it and post it here.
