beany Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Here are the photos I took when I initially began this build, but didn't get far as Telford priority builds had to come first. I bought the kit when HobbyLinkJapan were clearing them for a third of the normal price. I paid quite a bit for it with express postage but still saved about £15 on the UK eBay going rate for them. I'm a huge Gerry Anderson fan. My particular favourite is UFO. Here are a couple of pictures of my (not quite finished) Bandai Sky1 model which I've read somewhere scales at at between 1/48 and 1/50. For those that don't know, this jet interceptor was actually the front of the Skydiver submarine and used to dramatically blast up out of the ocean when dispatched to intercept a UFO which had made it's way past the Moon defences and into Earth's atmosphere. Back to Fireflash: here I have cemented the fuselage halves together and it looks like there will be a nasty seam lines to attend to. Here is a dry fit of one of the rescue vehicles. Here is a clip of them in use: This build and diorama base shouldn't take too long, and before this GB ends I hope to also have a go at this... ...or maybe even this: Cheers for now. Al.

modelman182 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Ooohhh... that Fireflash looks nice! Hadn't seen it with the little trucks before! Good job on the UFO Sky1! Was never keen on Joe 90 myself - but I'm sure that will be an interesting one, too. As for the Mayan face mask - an unusual subject, but is it sci-fi? heh heh heh...

Kallisti Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I've got the Joe 90 car in my stash as well, along with an Imai Thunderbird 4, a Thunderbird 2 and the Mole, and of course I'm currently building the Firefly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhh, beaten to the Mayan face mask joke - damn! What a great selection of kits - very difficult to choose between. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
