jetboy Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Hi,showing you these,before i move them to the spare room,nice subjects,but the kits were very ill fitting and thin,would have been better in resin,with hindsight i would have done them differently ie strengthening seams etc,another fault was the decals,with being so old,some just disintergrated in the water,slightly better with overcoats of decalfix,but not much,so ended up using black tape,so i will be able to redo them when i get the gear for printing my decals.anyway here they are,i like them...... cheers Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

genedig65 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Wow, I'm impressed! I'm working on the Mach 2 X-24 kits and I'm about ready to throw them against the wall. You've really took some frustrating kits and made them look nice. Keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetboy Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 hi norm,yes its three airfix kits,though you do get all three payloads with each kit,so if you get three you will have a few spare,and you get a cosmonaut for scale,nice little kits...Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Mc Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Anyone who completes a Mach 2 model deserves a medal. They all look very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMChladek Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Wow! It take A LOT of skill and a bit of lunacy to finish that many Mach 2 kits... let alone do them to a high standard. Very VERY nice work Don! The R-7s look great as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
