IPMS19 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 - This time it is the Scimitar, I think this appealling big twin jet is really well treated by Dynavector, I didn't experienced any problem with this kit ,as these vacu kit were really very well done and the fit of the white metal parts were rally on the top. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain Ogilvie Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Taro San ('Mr' Dynavector) was a bit of a perfectionist and that shows in his kits... Beautiful Scimitar - one of my favourite aeroplanes! Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beautiful Scimitar - one of my favourite aeroplanes! Iain -As far as I remember Mr Dynavector, Taro San, had a Breguet Alize in his project, I deeply regret he does not achieved this, it was the French navy equivalent of the Fairey Gannet, it has been treated in injected by Mach 2 but it's a mess Edited September 15, 2012 by IPMS19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandX Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Taro San ('Mr' Dynavector) was a bit of a perfectionist and that shows in his kits... His moving coil cartridges are pretty decent also: http://www.dynavector.com/ An excellent build of this beautiful aircraft, Sir! Still absolutely no justification for the absence of modern injected kits in this scale, though...mumble, grumble, dunno what the world's coming to, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russ c Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Great build of a cool subject !! best Scimitar I`ve seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Great modelling and painting ! i also have one of these beauties and do intend to build it one day When one thinks about it there are a great many classic aircraft that have not been kitted by the mainstream kit producers, i wonder if we will ever see Airfix or Trumpeter do one ? (in 1/48 please) Anyway thanks for posting , great stuff !! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belle Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Scimitars were powered by two Rolls Royce Avon turbojets that were actually mounted side by side in the fuselage. I especially like your paintwork here as it is spot on and very realistic as usual. Great work on your build. Another Stunner. Karen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Jones Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 What a super build, I've one of these in the stash ,hope it comes out half as well as this one. Dynavector had a Firebrand TF5 listed as their next release, what a shame it never made it. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafrobbo Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Wonderful work. A lovely rendition of good old UK solid engineering. I have a kit in a box to complete. Sat and sanded all the vacform and trimmed the white metal one summer in the garden so essentially it's a case of putting it together like a standard kit. Your build has made me dig it out to 2nd position in the stash. Top work, cheers andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
