stevej60 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Hi folk's,and to celebrate I thought let's go small,Spadad tipped me off about these little Revell gem's so here's the Seahawk the Blackhawk is next on the list, what a superb little stress free build it was,even a passible front cockpit and at just over six quid good value for money especially if you're pushed for space. Anyway firstly the this is how small it is shot and thanks for looking in. 45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorby Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I find 1/48 a little bit fiddly, so producing something of this quality in 1/100 is remarkable. Excellent job Steve! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murdo Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Very nice job there, very nice indeed! Revell have some absolute gems in their 1:144 scale (non airliner) range. Try their Apache too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark4700 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 That looks a quality kit, and excellently built. No one can say they haven’t room to build more kits now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbie(kinda) Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 OMG! I have this vision of you at the bench with some kind of VR headset on! That is brilliant...and reminds (myopic) me why I ALWAYS model without my glasses; makes 'em look as good as yours! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaotic Mike Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 I bought a set of headband magnifiers from HobbyCraft. I didn't think I really needed them, but I'm finding (as I wrestle with Special Hobby's resin Napier Sabre) that actually, I couldn't live without them for modelling. They do make me work with my hands about 6" from my nose, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveyGair Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Helo's have never really been my 'thing' but that looks nice and the small part count would be a blessing after 'normal' sized kits! I can't read books or model-make without my cheap +2.50 glasses these days, can't get away with a magnifier yet. Davey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
