MODeller Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) Hi All, Just completed this one and very pleased with the result. It needs careful fitting together especially the canopy fit but no real nasties! The decals went on well and settled down with no assistance, there is even a set of canopy masks that are not mentioned in the instructions! Paints used were Revell Aqua, Humbrol and Xtracrylics with an overall coat Satin varnish. Shame I have a yesterdays wallet trying to compete with todays spiralling prices as I would like to do a four ship line up, yours MODeller Edited September 29, 2015 by MODeller 40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookytooth Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Nicely done sir. I use to see a lot of these back in the mid 60`s flying over where I lived then. Simon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaw Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Very nice model of an intersting aeroplane. Mine is nowhere near finishing! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canberraman Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Its good to see what the new Micro-Mir Bev looks like when built and you have certainly done it justice. I picked one up at the Si Ives model show last weekend where they were selling like hot cakes. You have inspired me to place mine further up the 'to build' pile!

Meatbox8 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Looks terrific. I'd really like one of these in my collection. An Argosy would be nice too in this scale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flankerman Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 The Beverley gives a lie to the old adage that 'with enough thrust you can make a barn fly'. It manages to fly on only moderate thrust. Also - you could apparently tell whether a Beverley had just stopped or was about to start - by the amount of oil on the ground underneath the four Bristol Centaurus engines Ken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
