PHREAK Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I reckon he's only doing a hovercraft coz he's heard it's got a skirt. Bon chance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obi-Jiff Kenobi Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I'll be watching this'un with interest, Sean, cos I've got 2 of the s0ds to build. I do intend to do one as part see-through, to go with the cutaway 747 and forthcoming cutaway A380. Reminds me of travel agents' windows in the 1970s...

macgregor Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Just read your recent posts regarding this kit. I built it last year & yes it does have a lot of 'fit' problems but can build into a decent model. Mine is depicted as Swift, in the Hoverlloyd livery. I think if you get an older earlier model, the fit might be better. The decals are not right either but thats another issue! I took some production shots as it went along & added a few extra details just to make it look more right. If anybody wants to see them or the finshed article just let me know. Il probably post a picture anyway in the hope it may inspire you when the going gets tough. GOOD LUCK. MacGREGOR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonymousA667 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 it would be great to see your pics Indeed, MacGregor, please post your pics I'm sure Sean would like to have a gander as would the rest of us. Can I suggest you add them to the General Information & Resources sub-forum. peebeep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgregor Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Posted a few finished pics in the general forum as suggested, I have some production ones as well if anyone wants to see them or have any quetions just ask. All the best MACGREGOR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seanrgb Posted July 12, 2008 Author Share Posted July 12, 2008 Ok I have decided I'm not going to build this kit ... I'll probably lose my temper with this build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgregor Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Thats a shame but I see your point, it is a bit of a git & is one of those kits you can wish you'd never started. Ive got this strange masocistic streak though, cause Im going to (PMA), build a "super 4" using two kits to make the stretch version.......its not quite that simple but thats the starting point. Only thing thats holding me back is I need some custom decals printing but Im not quite sure where to start. If any one can help, its only lettering/codes etc, nothing flashy. macgregor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Try Paul Parkes for the custom decals MacGregor... he's got a sub-forum on here & would be happy to help, I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
