Les Moore Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 This is a 1/72 Heller kit from the Cleveland Ohio show 2012. Harder to build than it was to paint. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabat Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Fantastic model sir, I'm surprised to hear you say that it was harder to build than to paint, that looks to be a LOT of masking! What a cracking display though, very eyecatching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BelugaBoss Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Love it! I think water bombers have the most striking schemes. -Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seadog Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Gorgeous! The ones that come over here at tree top level in Summer fires aren't quite so gaudy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Looks great! I don't think I can remember seing one of these built up before. Saw a real one doingthe business near Toulon once though, it sunuffed out a small fire like it was bloowing out a match, very impressive.

Julien Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Very nice, I think Buffalo are flying them in this scheme, ones they bought from Quebec? Heller have re-released this kit if anyone wants a challenge! Julien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Delta 210 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Beautiful model! Reminds me of "Ice Pilots", one of my favourite TV shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmcclure Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 What a splendid rendition and great work on the colour scheme. If that was harder build than paint then it was hard work indeed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theplasticsurgeon Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Cracking paint job - well done. I did the turbine version many years ago. I had the piston version, but same scheme - so I sold it. Great watching them on Ice Pilots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
