Very Nice! Did you airbrush Humbrol silver for the main paint?

No Humbrol silver. For all bare metal parts I used Alclad in different shades.

Excellent job. I live in Iowa, and I remember seeing the real F-89's at a couple of airshows in the early 60's.

Thanks Don. I'm to young myself to have seen them in service. Would have liked to see/hear one taking off and pass overhead though...

Cheers,

Steven,

Last one I saw was at Cedar Rapids, IA, about 1960 or so. The F-89 took off right after the Thunderbirds demo team had performed. (F-100's) Lost an engine during a low pass over the field, limped out about five miles, and make a long, slow approach. Thunderbirds and their ground crews clapped when they landed. Apparently a one engine landing in an 89 was noteworthy.

I can imagine that. Even with two engines the F-89 was underpowered ...

Nicely done!!
