Steve Coombs Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Photo test successful! Nice bird; which kit is it? I built the Hasegawa one back in the early 80s, long gone now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Well done for sorting out posting pics You might want to change the title now to reflect the subject matter, so people don't ignore it, thinking it's just some random photo of your toe or something 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head in the clouds. Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Sorry Paul, I am a bit out of sync of late, my comments on your Phantom builds will not make sense regarding Flickr, they should be directed to this build but one thing that is not out of sync is my eye for a beautiful model of one of a most unique aeroplanes ever built. I do miss seeing the SR71 at Mildenhall, an awe inspiring sight every time. A well polished build Paul, keep em coming. All the best Gary 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best Gary Hello,Gary - You never need to apologise,my friend.I've been a lot out of sync?!🙃 I've yet to see and get close up and personal with this type in real life.A visit to Duxford would be an easy remedy for that when opportunity permits.🙂 Thank you once again for your very kind interest and supportive following.It's much appreciated and respected. 😉👍 All the very best,Paul.

Mario Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Hi Paul! Congratulations to your successful photo test. Nice build of an interesting subject. A new Blackbird is on my agenda for quite a while. Have built the Revell kit as a child and several months ago had the idea to refurbish it. Have already started to separate some parts but then the other hundred projects interfered... Have also the Italeri kit in the stash! Have a nice evening Mario 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Air Hockey Propellers Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 What a nice and clean finish. In the second last photo, it's revealed that the inner side of the opened canopies are unpainted. Just imagine that in black and you wouldn't tell if it's the real thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
