stevej60 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 That's a cracker Tony,as stated the extra detail you add and research goes way beyond what most of us consider and it show's inthe final build and finishing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learstang Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 4 hours ago, general melchett said: Great job Tony, nice to see you build this as a Mk II, I'll certainly be building one or two for our Bomber Command SIG. That's good news, looks like the problem was down to the test-shot sample. I mentioned it to the team at Telford after they asked me how I'd got on with the kit... if there was an issue it seems to have been ironed out. General, sir, glad to see you got the silly blighters sorted out on this! Nothing straightens out a wayward chap(s) better than the threat of doing double-time around the parade grounds in full gear, in the rain, backwards. By the way, Tony, lovely job on the Mitchell! I must pick me up one of these, to do it in the proper Soviet markings, of course. Bestest, Jason 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britman Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Exceptional Tony, that Airfix kit looks the business as does your paintwork. Thank you for sharing it with us. Keith. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatbox8 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 That's a terrific looking Mitchell Tony. Great attention to detail to replicate the real thing. I really like the different shades of Olive Drab which match the photos perfectly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually Zhukas the best way to straighten 'em out is to actually MAKE them do double-time around the parade grounds in full gear, in the rain, backwards...(battle shorts down around their ankles of course). Now you could have some fun with weathering that Soviet camo scheme...The AMW editor gave me a copy of their Combat Machines No2 book to go with the build and that includes a lot of really useful images of all versions of the aircraft, including the Rooskie ones, if you haven't already it's well worth getting hold of. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Mc Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Lovely build. It really looks "alive". On a side note, the mention of RAF Dunsfold just reminds me that I read over the weekend that planning permission for 1,800 homes has been granted for the former airfield. I hope that the street names reflect the various aircraft and aircrew that operated out of the aerodrome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what will happen to the VC-10 and other aircraft out on the 'field'?? ( One good thing, it''l stop that silly Top Gear stuff) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedders Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 PhenomenalTony, and those stripes are really outstanding. You've really captured the essence of the original aircraft with the weathering and variation of colours on the fins/ruddders for example. Just great.

Ian Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Nice build Tony, had a feeling somebody here would do an RAF one very quickly !!. Still waiting for Eduard to release a set of kit-specific masks before I attempt mine. Ian. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Schilhart Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Very inspiring build! That worn-off invasion stripes look great. I just got my copy of the 1/72 Airfix Mitchell yesterday, and would like to do an RAF machine as well. Your model got me in the mood to start right now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
