Gimme Shelter Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Hello I am new to the forum having used it for reference while building my latest build - the Airfix VC10 Tanker. I soon became aware that what comes out of the box is missing much needed important detailing to make an accurate C/K Standard/Super VC10, and having been forced to produce the build on the dinning room table due to my workshop being too cold to use and produce the finish I would have preferred using an airbrush, I settled for a bit of both the C & K versions leaving me with an inbetweener. I used a few aftermarket parts such as new resin engines and 26 Decals. incidentally, fish tank filter wool makes nice clouds..Please enjoy and thank you for looking. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gimme Shelter Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 Thank you for the kind words - a few more pictures as asked for: The Vicky10 was also in production alongside 3 Concordes that I am building for a commission and were primed together - the speedbirds are now in the warmer workshop in warmer conditions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
