1971 Renwal 1/32 Ontos “A Thing with a Sting” Multiple 106mm Recoilless Rifles 

1971 Renwal 1/32 Ontos “A Thing with a Sting” Multiple 106mm Recoilless Rifles, Kit 557:149
Let me start by saying that this model is not perfect and was never quite completed. You’ll probably notice the decals aren’t applied and some of the details aren’t painted and it’s missing a piece on the back of the one barrel. (Although that is probably somewhere in the basement.)
Let me also say that I can attest that this model has an attitude problem. It definitely didn’t want to be filmed and I wouldn’t be surprised if it gave Dad as much trouble as it gave me. :-)
Dad’s main memory of the Ontos is that he just didn’t like it. He can’t remember exactly why - it could have been it wasn’t fitting together well or it didn’t look the way he wanted it to or maybe because the only decals were for the Army. (The Ontos was mainly used by the Marines.) Whatever the reason, I still wanted to show it, warts and all, because it’s an interesting, unique model. Dad said if you wanted to build an Ontos, this was what was available at the time, although it appears there are Academy and Revell models available of the Ontos now.
Have you ever built the Ontos? Do you have any incomplete or disastrous projects? Please share in the comments below.
