jean Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Hi Ratch, it is the first time that I have seen a model of an RAF 110. Funny, I was just watching pics of such an aircraft in a magazine this afternoon. Top marks for originality, and this looks like a really nice build. Great painting, by the way. Congrats Sir!

Ratch Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 Thanks very much Jean. 1426 EAF is one of my projects. I've built a few of their aircraft and still have some to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Nicely done Ratch, it seems to take on another persona in those markings. I like it a lot. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
