andy s Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) This is my first post in ages due to work and other distractions so here is my latest, the big Tiffy by Airfix. The kit is not the easiest to put together but looks absolutely stunning once built, my crappy photos really do not do it justice. Aftermarket goodies include eduard guns, wheels and photo etch, Masters brilliant rockets and Airdoc instruments, I also added quite a few scratchbuilt details including a new ignition harness with spark plugs, flap details and U/C uplocks which are missing on the kit.

Finnthedude Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Very nice! I'm not brave enough to tackle one of these beasts yet and I admire anyone who builds one, especially to this very high standard. Finnthedude. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dads203 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Simply stunning ...my only criticism is that your build area is far to tidy... Go spill a tin of paint or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Cornes Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Great work - the efforts on the ignition leads was not wasted !! I'm interested to know how the Airscale instruments compare with the Airfix ones? Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark4700 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Absolutely stunning. Often an overused term, but this really is awesome. Just one thing, take some pictures outside with some natural light, that will really make it stand out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
