Hi all
Just finished this old kit, it is the 1982 Lindberg boxing of the old 1968 Inpact kit.
The build thread is here
The fit of the kit is quite good although a bit basic but considering it's age it has done quite well.
The cockpit is very basic so I scratched a representation of the cockpit from scrap plasticard and brass rod, the gauge bezels are made from Little Cars 0.1 mm wire
The guns are from Mini World and are very detailed
I scratched the gun mounts from some plasticard and left over PE parts.
The cowling raised panel lines were removed and rescribed.
The model was brush painted in Humbrol enamels and rigging is Prym Knitting elastic and invisible thread.
The engine is an Armoury Armstrong Siddeley Jaguar IV engine and is a lovely model in it's own right. I added the ignition leads from 0.2mm lead wire and pushrods from 0.33 mm brass rod.
Decals are from the lovely Model Alliance, Wings and Waves part 1 set and the model depicts S1282/10 of HMS Glorious (Mediterranean Fleet) in 1930.
Anyway enough waffle here's some photos
Thanks to those who have supported and encouraged me during the build.
Thanks for looking in
Chris
