lomasca Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 I finished it! Dog of a kit, but very satisfying to complete such a beautiful aircraft. I made this as a father's ay gift for my dad. I wanted to make it in flying jack (my favourite BEA livery) but it turns out my dad hated it! (though it clearly looked better on the Trident) Some of my earliest memories are of us going round the Vanguard at Brooklands. Stand arrived a week after this was completed too thanks to Humbrol digging through their warehouse. They don't make them like this anymore! 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Are these the kit supplied windows I'm seeing? Lovely job done here. Cheers, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stringbag Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 For a "dog of a kit" you've certainly made a good job of it. Thanks for posting. Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatbox8 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Have the agree with Strinbag. A great rendition and I always like the BEA Red Square scheme, despite building mine with the later Speedjack colours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lomasca Posted July 22, 2016 Author Share Posted July 22, 2016 Are these the kit supplied windows I'm seeing? Lovely job done here. Cheers, Mike They are! Didn't come out as bad as I expected. Thanks all for the very kind words (sorry If I missed any one) Airfix sent me one of their old stands especially, and my dad was chuffed with it.
