Convair XFY-1 "Pogo"

[claidheamhmor]

Finished, the Lindberg 1/48 XFY-1 "Pogo" VTOL aircraft. The Pogo was a weird beast, and only one pilot ever managed to successfully repeatedly fly it. The model kit was barebones, so I scratchbuilt the entire cockpit. I'm especially pleased with the bare metal and aluminum finish; I used Mr Color "Gun Chrome" for the bare metal, and it gives an excellent finish. The contra-rotating prop is geared - they actually move opposite directions.
