JF FC 80 VIKING FORAGER


Recommended Posts

all side mounts are difficult,this is a few pictures of the build into the 2nd day,getting the body right is difficult and its better do do any shaping and filling before adding too many bits on as its harder to get into the tiny corners afterwards,just a matter of building bit by bit and after a few days they start to look like the real thing,theres none of the foragers easy

more with the 590,and a picture of a real slightly later fc80 on a late 590...apparently in the late 70,s jf dropped the viking name and just called them the fc 80 as they dropped the warrior name with the trailed versions and then just calling them the fct 900 and 1100
