Falcon 1/48 Supermarine Swift


Recommended Posts

My first vacuform kit. Definitely not perfect--the camera sure brings out the flaws--but so much fun to build. This is the old Falcon kit. Scratchbuilt flaps, gear, wheel wells, and cockpit. Ejection seat came with the kit and, surprisingly, the kit decals worked (although I had to make the arrows on the fuselage out of red decal sheet. Finished with Tamiya acrylics. Not a contest winner by any stretch of the imagination, but I'm happy to have finished it and have even more respect for those who can really make limited run vac kits shine.

:yes: Very nice - I made a start on this once, but got a bit bogged down with the details of the nose gear well, which isn't boxed in as the kit would have you believe.  Then I got distracted by the next shiny thing, and the kit is still there in pieces :blush:
