LaurieS Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 (edited) Warrior as in Afghanistan. Very nice model to build. Pity that inthe 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 Lifecolorused partly for colours required and also easier, I find, to useat low pressure over long periods. Used Vallejo Flow Improverin the Lifecolour which stops, almost, all clogging using smallneedle nozzle and low PSI Build at http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234996618-148-bae-warrior-part-of-an-afghanistan-british-collection/ Laurie ">http:// ">http:// ">http:// ">http:// ">http:// ">http:// ">http:// ">http:// ">http:// ">http:// ">http:// Edited April 12, 2016 by LaurieS 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwality8 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Very nice! You have the same collection as me, but mine don't have lights.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaurieS Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 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. Laurie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kallisti Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 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 ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll investigate the light kits, but I'd probably be a bit nervous about making extra holes in my models 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Light up.

Kallisti Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Funnily enough I frequently light up my Sci Fi models but don't think of doing it for military stuff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
