RocketSurgeon Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Beautiful model Mike. Like I sad, mine won't come anywhere near the level of excellence you achieve with this one. The 31 is a beautiful aircraft IMHO, the only thing I don't like about them is the look of the MLG. I'll probably build mine in flight, with the refueling probe extended.

Mountain goat Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I know it's plastic, but it still looks like a tonne to lift... the quality of the kit and of your build both look excellent. Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Vale Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Gorgeous model - your paintwork is lovely. I'm sorry I managed to miss the build while it was happening. Will go and have a look now Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomas Pelej Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 great job Mike. Did you remember to take off the masking tape from the headlamps at the front of the chassis cover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 I did later, yes. She's sat in the photo booth upside down at the moment, waiting for me to darken a few recesses that I'd forgotten to do earlier. Hopefully I can do that without pinging off all the static wicks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffreyK Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Wow, that's nice! A job extremely well done. I concur that the tandem wheel arrangement distracts from the brutish elegance of the aircraft - makes it look kind of clumsy, but on the other hand you get to see some nice intricate strut detail that wouldn't be there on a standard single or twin wheel MLG. Is the finished model heavy and will the plastic struts hold over time? I'll wait for the B/BS release though as I begin to think the boat with the box full of BM/BSM kits for Hannants got lost on the way to the UK...

Mike Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 Thanks for the kind comments Is the finished model heavy and will the plastic struts hold over time? It is fairly heavy, but I think the struts will be ok. If you're going to load it with resin weapons & aftermarket though, you'd probably want to consider a metal set if they come to pass. They would have to be very accurate in terms of dimensions though, as the struts are a very precise fit both into the sockets in the bay, and to each-other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
