1/48 BAE Warrior part of an Afghanistan British Collection


Recommended Posts

Warrior as in Afghanistan. Very nice model to build. Pity that in
the drivers section only a seat. No engine or any other detail.
Rich with detail in the rear section.

Red Zebra for the crew and luggage.

PE an optional extra from Airfix supplied to them by Eduard.

Vallejo Model Air used as for the main colours. Effects Lifecolor
used partly for colours required and also easier, I find, to use
at low pressure over long periods. Used Vallejo Flow Improver
in the Lifecolour which stops, almost, all clogging using small
needle nozzle and low PSI

Build at http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234996618-148-bae-warrior-part-of-an-afghanistan-british-collection/

Very nice!

You have the same collection as me, but mine don't have lights....

Thanks for the comment. I installed the light not as a gimmick but as there was a lot going on in the cabin,

plus with the door and hatch open, it provided an opportunity to "show off" what is inside.

The kit on Ebay cost about £5 so it is easy to install and cheap.

Need to replace those broomstick aerials with something thinner, but otherwise lovely build :) The Red Zebra stowage really sets if off. I built this a couple of years back and its a great kit (apart from the aerials :) )

Sorry, I wasn't taking the mick! It does show off the interior details really well..

I'll investigate the light kits, but I'd probably be a bit nervous about making extra holes in my models

No need to apologize at all. I did not take it as taking the mick. I just thought I would explain why I installed the lighting.

There is only one hole out thro. the underside of the body. The wires are thin as the current is neglible the lighting being

LED.

Did the same on the Merlin and hid the wires within the bulkhead with only a hole in the underside of the fuselage.

Go on have a go. :yikes: Light up.
