alex Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 very nice! Hard to believe it's 1:72, especially the wing folding mechanism looks good. Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIGHTS ON Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Great build. Airfix - looking for some ideas to follow your Sea Vixen with in 1/48.....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-32 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Very nicely done. Is it me or does the windscreen on the kit not look quite right? Beautifully built though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigsty Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Egad! That's never 1/72, is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glen T Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 That is astounding, a great finish and amazing detail for the scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandX Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Jeez, I love this aircraft. If I was offered a decent new-tool 1/48 kit in exchange for my home/family/life etc., I'd think "...where's the catch?" The CMR 'proper' kits are gems, but to get the best from them, you need to be the best -clearly no doubt here! Truly exquisite; my Build Of The Year (so far!), no contest. :worthy: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redboost Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 Thanks chaps for kind comments! I confess I'm not a 100% Scimitar nut, so I did not correct any of the kit's faults I read about elsewhere, but for my needs the kit is quite OK :-) Cheers Libor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Another superb job Libor. Its been duly book marked as reference for when I get around to my Skybirds 86 Scimitar. As usual I can but dream of achieving your degree of finesse. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heloman1 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Stunning build, many thanks for sharing you model with us. I was at Lee-on-Solent in the late 60's when they were chopping them up, a sad day indeed. Colin on the Africa Station Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
