Spad Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Brilliant execution - as above, the "motion" is definitely there. Trumpeter kit? ATBRick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tc2324 Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 Thanks again. Trumpeter kit? It was the 1/48 Airfix F.1 kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbpruitt Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 It took courage to break up the tail like that and you did it, not only that but it is a convincing portrait of those milliseconds when metal failed. This work transcends "kit assembly" and elevates it to art that communicates a story. Thank you for sharing this! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FatFlyHalf Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I think this is 'model of the year' as it is truly dramatic, dynamic and could pass for real! You have aced it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelglue Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Nothing wrong with a EE Lightning, well, except for that rudder issue. Very nice! The head on shot at the end is my favourite aspect of the plane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beefy Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 That is one impressive model, unbelievably realistic I had to study the photos really hard to work out if it was a model or the real thing. I am green with envy at your modelling skills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head in the clouds. Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 How many times do I have to say this...just when you think you have seen the most innovative presentation of a model another comes along and blows you away, that is absolutely fabulous and a interesting story to make a perfectly rounded model display, I love it. Has anyone asked how it was done or is that a trade secret 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
