AnonymousAA72 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Started to build this last Thursday. More or less OOB though I will be using MA decals!!! Not sure which aircraft yet, but she'll be an MR.1 in the earlier scheme of LACG and White Some serious pre-shading! Maybe a bit on the heavy side , but we shall see!!I've Alcladed the intakes and jet pipes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham T Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Haven't started mine yet Bill, but good to see someone else doing an early MR1 which is what mine'll be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Tango Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 (edited) Love the weathering Bill, a bit more mud an' you'll have a treadie there. Good build tho', we'll soon have more Nimrods than anything else on the forum. Edited February 20, 2008 by T-Tango Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skii Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Looks good Bill, as well as the subtle pre-shading personally I'd be inclined to vary the tones and shades of individual panels like Spencer did in his fabulous build.

gunpowder17 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 (edited) Thanks Skii. That is a beautiful paintjob and one that inspired me to do mine the same. I have the mag this was in.

I found it on the clear sprue but didnt see it on the instructions. I didn't even see it on the sprue! I made one out of a blob of clear sprue - which was most likely cut out of a section right next to the bit I needed!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eng Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Looks sweet, must admit the more I drool over my MA decals I'm half tempted to do one of mine in the white/light a/c grey as well. Watching with interest! Eng Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
