Deanflyer Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Right folks, it's finished. Those who've been following the build over the last ten months will know just how much effort went into this. I've counted over 114 hours work, with over 200 scratchbuilt parts added to the basic kit. It's been hard work to photograph, but here's the results: Cheers, Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tank152 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Everyone one of the 114 hours was time well spent, thats an amazing build Dean. Hope to see it one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffreyK Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 That's a stunning model - your built is a fine tribute to this important and outstanding aircraft. I'm also keen to learn more about your photography setup. For starters would I like to find exactly this sort of backdrop you're using. What is it / where did you get it from? My backdrops are always either too dark or too light - black, white or dark blue...not right. Cheers J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ursa_major Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Dean, outstanding work mate! You've really done justice to one of my favourite hot-ships! That is amazing detail and the most superb finishing.. G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
