Bell209 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Brilliant work and don't under-sell your photography skills, either - it looks great! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Suds Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Said it before say it again, stunning build proved by the admiration of all who have both followed your build and this thread. Very realistic, takes me back to RAF Gutersloh in 1972-1973 when I was working with 18 Sqn. as a MAOT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not, it's 1/48th as stated at the start of the thread ...er, three years ago and I've only just seen this amazing build. I was in the RAF in Hong Kong at the same time as Hendie and flew in this actual machine. Wow, just like the real thing!!!😜 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noelh Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 I remember seeing this three years ago. Great to see it again. At first glance I genuinely thought the first two photos were reference shots of the original. But even though I see it's a model I still can't shake off the idea that's it's the real thing. Which is the holy grail of modelling for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could task the Scouts and Wessexes to pick me up from HMS Tamar - happy days! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spadgent Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 (edited) Oh my word!!!!!! That’s the most detailed thing I’ve ever seen. It’s like you shrunk the real thing. 😮😮😮😮 I need to paw through your WIP threads to see how you managed such witchcraft. 🧙♂️ Astounding work sir. 🤗🤝 John. ps. Just looking through your builds. Looks like I made pretty much the same comments about your lizzy back in 2016. ☺️ I wasn’t wrong. 🤓🤛👍 Edited March 14, 2020 by The Spadgent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Russell Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Not having 5 hours to read about beer and nuts with a bit of modelling here and there I will settle for the pictures. That's a really nice job you have done. it looks just like it was in 1:1 scale in the real 石崗機場. Brilliant...!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I'm overwhelmed by the beauty of the detail and the grand quality of the build. Museum quality. Definitely museum quality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColinChipmunkfan Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 I was not a member of BM when you first finished and posted this model. What a brilliant example of the modeller's art. I stand amazed at the level of modeling, detailing and painting skills.🙂 Colin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
