stevehnz Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Maybe an older kit with is raised detail but not obtrusively so & really nicely modelled. One I'd be very happy to have in my collection. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisTheBear Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Nice Thunderjet! I have the Academy vetsion, and seeing this makes me want to dig it out and start building. DennisTheBear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROBOT Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Excellent OOB result, as intended by the manufacturer! OOB builds are the essence of modelling! Like it a lot! Thanks for sharing, Olli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like it a lot! Thanks for sharing, Olli I agree with you, but sometimes looking at superb add ons here, I must admit sometimes i am envious, but not sure I have the talent for detailing.

ROBOT Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I definitely don't have talent or patience for detailing!! But it's fun anyway Olli 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I believe you have built a great Thunderjet, especially considering the kit you started with. So top marks for that! There is nothing wrong with raised details and OOB, and I wish I did that more often. I would build a lot more kits that way. I see the good old Heller canopy is up to its usual trick of not wanting to fit 100%. Been there, done that too. How I wish Heller had carried on being innovative! Great show!
