After nearly 4 months, this one is finished. The WIP can be found here: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234995252-148-gwh-mcdonnell-douglas-f-15b/ The kit is mainly build OOB beside: the remove before flight tags they are from Eduard (49546) and the F.O.D. covers came from Q-M-T (R48002). Some streched sprue and metal wire was used. Paint is from Vallejo. Thanks for looking. Jan Remco

Vulcan XA903 with Rolls Royce/SNECMA Olympus 593 (GWH 1/144)
Guest posted a topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Here's the first of the series of aircraft I associate with Filton Airfield, and the one that brings back the fondest memories of standing on the cycle track on the A38 at the eastern end of the runway with the roar of the engines and the smell of the jet fuel. XA903's history has been recounted in detail elsewhere, and is well worth tracking down, sadly only the nose remains at 2AV8 near Stranraer. This build is based on the Pit Road/GWH B2 kit and converted to a B1 (thanks to robvulcan of this manor for inspiration to attack the wings). I have not altered the intakes (intentional) or included the wing pitot tubes (forgot). The Olympus 593 was scratchbuilt, decals were a combination of kit, spares box and home made. Not a perfect build, but great fun and, overall, I'm happy with the result.

Well it's done - an Interesting kit, not bad fitting but overly fiddly in places, and I really wish Great Wall Hobbies learnt that wing spars are a good idea. Their masks don't work very well, the vinyl is too thick and not sticky enough. The Work in Progress thread is available here Peter -
Started this last week but i've nearly got the cockpit done, just needs a little more weathering. Peter
