billybookcase Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Bought this from Modelzone for a song before it's demise. Lovely model, but getting bits off the sprues was a Royal pita without bending things all over the shop. There was some silvering on the decals but managed to lose most of it with some more Microsol. I bought the airwaves wing fold, but ended up just using a few of the flat bits and using the kit 3D bits and scratching a few extra bits. I'm normally crap at seat belts and stuff, but I think these came out OK I was going to buy some extras but instead of getting the resin airbrake I had a go at scratching one (saved 10 quid on something that wouldn't be seen anyway). The plates in the intakes were a bit thick so I thinned them down. BB 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybookcase Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 Great work - love those wing folds! ATB Rick Thanks lads, Yes Rick I was quite pleased with the wing fold, a bit of scratch building that's not hidden away underneath or inside.

billybookcase Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 An update with the red redtops fitted. I saw someone else do this colour and thought it broke up the colours nicely. BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
