DAG058 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I've been playing away with this one for a while now. It was meant to be a quick build but I have managed to drag it out somehow. It is Great Wall Hobbies 1/144 TSR 2. It's quite a nice kit, the parts were all well fitting and nicely molded. The decals seemed slightly thick, I think that was more due to the scale of the model though, it's really quite small. I had planned on doing the model "Gear Down" so I could have it sitting on a shelf with all my other builds. However the undercarriage was quite delicate and I just couldn't get it to sit right. As you can see now its "In-Flight". I didn't have a clue what to do so I used an idea I seen from Johnny Akes' Lightning that he posted on here. I found the nicest rock in the garden and attached it to my model! Its certainly not my greatest model and it has nit turned out quite how I wanted. Hopefully it won't offend anyone though! As always comments or questions are very welcome! Thanks for looking! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longhorn Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Great finish and detailing for something that is presumably quite small in the flesh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MajorClanger Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 If anyone asks, say that you have depicted it making a low-level flypast of Rockall! (For added accuracy, you may want to weather the rock with some white to represent the, er, guano.) Very nice model! I really must finish my 1/48 one...

I've heard the airfix ones aren't without their troubles. Maybe time for a re-tool seeing as people still pay silly money for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
