Julien Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I have the 1/48 (FM) CM-170 kit but keep hearing scare stories about it, I unsurprisingly hope to build as the IAC Silver Swallow version. I still have nightmares after building mine! Julien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spence Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 That's a very sweet build Cliff! Maybe see it at the club? Spence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio N Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Looks beautiful ! I built that kit many years ago in the Patrouille latest scheme, really enjoyed it and hope Heller reissues this soon. The early scheme on your model look even better than the later one, really sweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpion Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Lovely build Cliff... You are doing that old kit proud with this build... looking forward to the updates.I have the 1/48 (FM) CM-170 kit but keep hearing scare stories about it, I unsurprisingly hope to build as the IAC Silver Swallow version. dont mean to add to your worries but if you are going to buy the max decals sheet make sure you buy a few spare sheets as you WILL need them.i have some exp using max decals and they disintegrate if you so much as look at them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffB Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 Thanks again guys There should be a bit of a lull now as I'm due to go on hols today for a week. Unfortunately Tsar the dog (see left!), has had other ideas and has conspired to wake up this morning with an ear the size of a tennis ball! It's happened before and last time it was an immediate op plus three week's convalescence (complete with comedy lampshade) Off to the vets now .....

Alpha Delta 210 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Sorry to hear about Tsar, Cliff. Hope all is well and that you can finish the wonderful Magister soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffB Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 Thank you everyone for your comments (and good wishes for Tsar!), The good news was that the vet managed to do a short term fix on Tsar's ear and the kennels were happy to take him, so we did get away for a break after all. Back yesterday and have finally managed to get the Magister finished. The decals went on like a dream . So here it is (more photographs in the Gallery). Thank you everyone who has followed the build and especially to Alpha Delta 210 who has been a brilliantly attentive host Cheers Cliff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
