Flashman Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 The build is available to view in Work in Progress if anyone's interested, Esci get something of a bad reputation due to accuracy issues but aside from the decals( which were pretty atrotious) it went together nicely and I'm happy with how it turned out. There is a far better Modelsvit kit on the market which I may be doing at some point in the future. Sprayed with Humbrol 11 Silver and painted with tamiya acrylics, panel line wash done with Humbrol black enamel wash and metals weathered with humbrol washes and acrylics. Hope you like it, I'm certainly pleased with the result. Next build will probably be another 1/72 bomber. -Flash 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

depressed lemur Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 One of the stranger designs for a bomber, especially the engines! Fantastic job on a really unusual subject. Thanks for posting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

general melchett Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Good job Flash on what is really a very mediocre rendition by ESCI (sort of understandable at the time)....certainly looks the part though. Since the Modelsvit beauty arrived on the bench I gave up on mine even though it was nearly there....trouble is you compare the two and they really are worlds apart even with all the hacking and chopping.......just lovely to see a Blinder built, give yourself six of the best ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

general melchett Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 No not yet. I'll be doing one for Airfix Model World once the AMK Foxhound is finished. Amazing that high quality kits my two favourite jet bombers the Blinder and Victor will be available for building this year....great times for us CW types. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
