My third finish of the year, it still needs a pitot tube and a couple of aerials but otherwise I'm calling it done. This one fought me all the way. The fuselage was twisted, the air intakes didn't go together (so I filled the intake area and painted them on), half the brass aerials were missing, which is why they aren't on yet, and the undercarriage was so out of scale that I snapped it off and built the model in-flight instead. That being said, now it's done I'm happy with it and it really does show the graceful lines of the Valiant. The only addition to the kit is the cta decals as the kit decals weren't correct for the scheme. thumbnail_IMG_2189 by tony_inkster, on Flickr thumbnail_IMG_2188 by tony_inkster, on Flickr thumbnail_IMG_2187 by tony_inkster, on Flickr thumbnail_IMG_2186 by tony_inkster, on Flickr thumbnail_IMG_2185 by tony_inkster, on Flickr thumbnail_IMG_2184 by tony_inkster, on Flickr

Well I am very happy and excited today as a few days ago I received an email asking me If I wanted a 1/144th Valiant for simply informing them my postcode so they could send it. I was not sure but thought "Why not I would love a Valiant". So I did and was soon sent a Tracking number. I asked is this for real !, The person on the other end of the email said "Yes you are the first to receive it". Well that was a surprise and as I have just turned 30 what a way to start my 30's. It has arrived today all the way from Ukraine. So I was mega excited when I opened this a few minutes ago and sure enough I have a nice 1/144th Vickers Valiant. Most welcome as a V-bomber lover and I have therefore started a build. I don't have a clue what I have done to deserve it but I am indeed very grateful indeed to have the opportunity to make it. Its rather Ironic as for the last 3 months I have been off here working on a secret project I am soon to reveal that could be related to this. But save that for later lets have a loot at the wee beastie But just before we do I must say I am sorry to hear that today a plane has crashed In Ukraine and its a sad irony that this model plane should arrive from Ukraine today. R.I.P. 1st off lets check out the box art which looks very cool indeed. Here is one of the sprue's containing the landing gear. Engine faces etc.. Gear bays and intakes which are split in half. I will have to do something with those and try take molds of them to make some resin replacements. The Undersides of the wings etc Beautiful top surface of the wings. This is a part of the Valiant I have always thought attractive. Beautiful aircraft. Here are the Fuselage halves I was kindly given two canopies The decal sheet looks beautifully done I must say. And something I would never think to see with a kit like this PE ! I got a nice 2014 catalogue which I can post picture of the contents if anyone wishes. Nice clear instructions always helpful I am not sure on which Valiant I will do yet. But it will be a white one as pictured here. Not necessarily these airframes though but that's a long way down the line yet. Well I will have to look through our own General Melchett's build of the Airfix kit and look for any issues with the kit. I think it looks fantastic overall. But will look for any areas to correct as we go and if folk wish to point stuff out please do. This is my first MikroMir Kit and I must say I like it. It has a retro vibe and reminds me very much of old FROG kits. The plastic seems nice and thick so this will be a totally new experience for me and I look forward to their Victor !. Right I am going to have a quick study and get Cracking on her Cheers Rob :frantic: :frantic:

just got Micro Mir's new BTR- kit wheeled armored personell carrier of soviet origin, but still widely used. e.g. in Ukraine's current conflict.... finally something close to a tank in 1/48 looks quite good, nice detail, especially the wheel suspension looks very detailed! hope to build it soon! markings supplied for several Ukraine ones, UN markings from Sierra Leone, Polish, Finnish and north Vietnam any suggestions for a crew?
