  1. I finished this about a week ago and finally managed to take some pics of it. The initial buld is here: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234967754-scottish-aviation-twin-pioneer-1144-vacform/ The cheat line is decal paper painted with Tamiya X4 Acrylic Blue and given a layer of Microscale Liquid Decal Film. It was a pain to postion correctly as it is so small. The tail flashes, serial numbers and "engines" are homemade using inkjet decal paper but the roundels themselves are the orginals from Welsh Models - these decals are on a complete sheet and have to be cut out. The windows are Humbrol Clearfix. It has a cockpit but it can't really be seen through the Clearfix. Painted in Citadel Mythril Silver and Halfords Appliance Gloss White. Anyhow, enough waffle, here's the pics: Here you can just make out the seats and the overhead instrument panel which has the seats (blue bits) and throttle levers (red bits) showing: Engine decal - a hint someone posted previously on BM plus scratchbuilt brass tube exhaust (not sure if cutting and gluing a bit of brass tube can be called "Scratchbuilding"). I'm not sure what the inverted L bits on top of the cockpit are (Pitot tubes?) but they're scratchbuilt like the other roof antenna. The props were murder to get even close to correct thinness and are extremely fragile. Air intakes are drilled out and painted internally with Revell Anthacite. Rear door and scratchbuilt steps. The door can definitely be called scratchbuilt as I lost the orignal almost immediately after cutting it out. . The black dots are rivets from Archer's Fine Transfer's as is the "plaque" at the top of the door. The red handle is made from two very, very fragile bits of brass wire. I also scratchbuilt some seats for the fuselage complete with seatbelts - it's a bit annoying that they can't be seen properly. And with my usual paw pic for scale effect. And joining my growing 1:144 fleet. Hope you like it!
