'V' Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I'm a bit nervous about putting this here as I build for my pleasure and I'm only too aware of the shortcoming in my skills - One should never complain about the kit, because if you have the skill then anything is possible. Anyway my 4th (and final Valiant build) Took 3 months on and off, at the same time several small 1/72 models were finished 'V' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dswoofie Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 No visible shortcomings there mate! Looks lovely. I have to say that being both a poor kit, and a white finish you have done an absolutely excellent job... Great to see one nicely built up! Karl.

Cornish you're dead right - It is about having fun and even if you curse any particular kit, it's enjoying beating the plastic into second place !!

bentwaters81tfw Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 That's a good model, 'V'. I know what an absolute Bas***d that kit can be, and you've done yourself proud there. I build for my own pleasure too, which is why I don't post much of my stuff. Perhaps I should, and you can all take the p*ss out of me. Won't bother me at all!!

Skybert Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 What a Monster this was..I read somewhere that it had a blistering performance compared to the others... Shame they fell apart in the low level operations, following the change of theatre... Would have loved to see them in the desert pink's or low level camo's great built.. noting to be ashamed of... Keep having fun building and keep posting.. Skybert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzH Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Looks great, I like the white anti flash finish, got a Buccanear ready to go in white, just not enough time!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'V' Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 I've got to say this, Britmodeller site is a great spur to firstly staying the course and finishing - everyone is so enthusiastic about your "work in progress" pictures that rather than put it away (for a few years) you keep on working it through. Then you see and get tips on others progress that can so often help you through the 'don't know' problem. I'd like to pass a big thank you to Mike in particular and everyone else who supports the modellers work presented here. 'V' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 That looks a great build to me, I hope mine turns out as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
