Chris Hewitt Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Started this way back in Nov 2014 for Perth Show this year and Lusty is finished.Only thing this is not a bad kit,and when it was released ,got a lot of bad press,which must have killed sales.Its not perfect,but there are worse kits then this.

colin Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Excellent build and finish, a lot of small details there that you keep finding the more you look at it, you've certainly made a cracking job with the aircraft painting for such a small scale Did you also make the case 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntPhillips Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Brilliant work mate, you're really getting the hang of this modelling lark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingo Degenhardt Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 This is simply great. Love the model and it's details, weathering and display. I chickened out of mine when I saw the White Ensign PE set for it - may be someday (with somebody elses PE set). At least I participated in sales numbers for this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan P Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Great rendition, lovely details. I like the busy flight deck too, a really lively feature. And it's 1/350!! I reckon you need a rest Al 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moaning dolphin Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Wow, wow and thrice wow. You have certainly done the old girl justice. Excellent job there and really like the seascape as well. BZ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crennis Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Superb model there, certainly looking grander and happier than the real thing which is looking quite sorry for herself outside my office window! I have two of these myself, one complete OOB on my desk but I must get round the "finishing" the other with added PE'zaz. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimHead23 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Really excellent and busy build. I wish someone would have a go at releasing a British WW2 carrier in 1/350. If anyone knows of one then please knock on my door! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
