Spitfire31 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Superbly modelled and finished Shackleton. She looks just 'right'. Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry1954 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 A beautiful model of a beautiful aircraft. Really impressive indeed. I am sure like me, many will remember the old Frog version. I acquired one as a teenager but I never got round to starting mine. Seem to recall selling it on about 20 years ago for quite a price! I'll probably get around to acquiring an Airfix or Revell one eventually. Thanks for sharing and well done! Terry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatbox8 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 That looks absolutely beautiful. A great paint finish and excellent photography too. I have the kit (still in fondling mode) and hope it turns out a fraction as good as this, frankly. Did you make your own masks or use an aftermarket set? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have the Airfix one but I'm not sure it could be any better than this! I remember blocking a window and adding a couple of aerials, etc, but where was the extra window you added!? Thanks Lord Riot, the window I added is on the starboard side at the rear of the fuselage underneath the horizontal stabilizer you can just see it . It's a small slot shaped window, apparently to let light into fuselage for the crew to scurry to the rear position. On 4/9/2018 at 3:22 PM, Meatbox8 said: That looks absolutely beautiful.

Did you make your own masks or use an aftermarket set? Thanks Meatbox8, I did cheat and use the Eduard mask set, there are a lot of windows! Now stop fondling it and start building.

Which paints did you use ? Robert Thanks Robert, I kept the weathering to a minimum because this is the way I remember them at airshows back in the 80's... in fact I was always impressed by their clean glossy finish. The paints I used were Xtracolor enamels. Cheers, gazza l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
