Brundledonk Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 (edited) Hi everyone, This was a really great kit, it sat in my stash for years before I felt confident enough to have a bash at it. The only real issue was with the intakes, as they are pretty pants if built the way Tamiya designed them, so I cut them around and made them seamless. I used an Eduard Big etch set and painted the main colour with Lifecolor acrylics, the tug is from Verlinden and the figures are from the Tamiya Tomcat and Academy Hornet. The deck is my artistic license in effect although I did study some reference pics to get the flavour of the real thing, the JBD was the hardest part for me to build as having to make multiple parts and keep them the same size really twisted my melon lol ! Hopefully if my IPad and Photobucket play nicely, you should see some pics Cheers guys Pete Edited April 24, 2015 by Brundledonk 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelman182 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 That's drop dead gorgeous! Great work on EVERY part of it. That little Verlinden tug is a great little kit on it's own, isn't it? Thanks for sharing that one - yet again, the bar is raised on BM! Maybe I should take up knitting? Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
