russ c Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Hi Everyone, Here`s something a bit away from my usual modelling themes, Special Hobby`s 1/48 Instrument of Terror ( the kit that is, not the aircraft ) Which as much as possible was built OOB but with a few of the resin items replaced by user friendly materials and one or two wire embellishments here and there Found this hard going from the beginning with the vac canopy being the hardest I`ve ever come across and the resin parts didn`t fit any where without a major battle, replaced the exhaust stubs with plastic tube in the end and the boarding steps at the wing trailing edge with some scrap plastic and just gave up completely trying to do anything with the aileron mass balances. So calling it done, I`ve had enough! Thanks for looking, hope you enjoy Cheers Russ ( going to do a nice easy relaxing P-40 now ) 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_W Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 The Spanish camo is a nice change from the Luftwaffe schemes. Very pretty, if you can call a Stuka pretty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzby061 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I think that's the first one I've seen here, great job & a nice scheme. Those SH kits look great in the box don't they? Then you try & put them together. Pete 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bordfunker Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Stunning looking Anton. I've heard the Special Hobby kit is no easy build, so kudos on producing such great model. Karl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
