A Seagull on the Mississippi


1/72nd Scale Hasegawa SOC-3 Seagull




This kit is one the first releases of this aircraft from the mid-'70s. The cockpit and engine need a little help, so I added:
* The Mark's Models & Toys Starfighter-Decals cockpit resin set 72-15 

* The Mark's Models & Toys E-Z Rigging set PE-08

* The Radial Wheels & Engines resin P&W-1340 Wasp engine 72-001


* And the period markings come the Yellow-Wings decal sheet 72-013 




The simple wood base and kit supplied placard was painted in Navy colors and the miniature gold wings set the "Fly NAVY!"  by the-seat-of-your-pants spirit to model display.  The figure is from the CMK US Navy Pilots WW2 pilot set -72115. Our intrepid hero* adds the scale reference. 



FLY NAVY!
