Hi guys, I finished this one for the made in Britain group build. Was looking for some constructive criticism before move onto the next one!

Here's some of the photos of her.

She looks really excellent and the weathering, to my eyes, look just right for a machine that's seen some serious use.

 

Only nitpick would be the yellow prop tips that appear at least twice as big as regulations stipulated. According to the one and only, sadly missed, Edgar Brooks: "4" (101.6mm) = 1/18" (1.41mm) in 1/72, 1/12" (2.12mm) in 1/48, 1/8" (3.175mm) in 1/32, 1/6" (4.23mm) in 1/24." The thread is here:

Beautiful modelling!

 

Kind regards,

 

Joachim

Cheers joachim, I never met or talked to Edgar but from what I read on the forums he was a kind and helpful person! I shall adjust the tip colour length, should be easy with black on yellow.

Again thanks for the tip(s)...;)
