mirageiv Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Fantastic result, I think the best GR4 I have seen from the revell kit! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longhorn Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 That is stunning, is any of it actually the original kit?!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_gn Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 That is stunning, is any of it actually the original kit?!! Thanks! Yes, the list of mods is long, but most are small details. Main replacements were cockpit, wheel wells and nose. The original nose wasn't that bad TBH, but the resin version is marginally better by most accounts.

dr_gn Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 Absolutely cracking! :wow:Lovely subtle paint job too, hope to see it at a show sometime. Thanks - and thanks also for pointing me in the direction of Tamiya Pla-paper for the canopy frames. Without that stuff the canopy would probably still be unfinished. Really useful for a multitude of applications in 1:72 no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eng Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Congrats on your result at Cosford G, very well deserved but I'd have gone for your build over a cut-away as well. I'd loved to have seen this in person and ironically I was at Cosford on Saturday. It was the last day of a family break, my wife was at an event at Uttoxeter racecourse and I persuaded the kids a visit to Cosford was a good idea. It certainly was, it's amazing compared to when I was last there in '97. I only twigged there was a model show on as the tables started going up around 1600! Unfortunately we were committed to heading home Sunday morning otherwise I'd have popped back over for an bit. Bad planning on my part. Once again this is an epic build, and I'm sure it will be the go to guide on how to build a GR.4 from the Revell kit. Excellent work.

Navy Bird Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Congrats on your Silver! Don't those judges know who you are? That cutaway helicopter must have really been something, because your Tonka is absolutely superb! Cheers, Bill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feifeitim Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Stupendously great work Doc! Love it! I could almost strap it on and take it airborne (if I was 1:72 the size I am!)! A completely convincing replica! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feifeitim Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 'Twas a long time ago Doc - got more years on Airbus now. Glad to see the banter is still there Steve! I gues being weighed down by all the milk you guys used to carry added to the curvature of the earth experience on take-off? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
