F4u Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Instrument detail dose not look to bad (decal I presume?) I would build the one your on so you know what to look out for when you build the second but its what you think is best. Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foghorn Leghorn Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Now I'm a little bit of a situation as I can't pick which of the 2 options in the box, so I had a little idea. This is the idea below :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepureness Posted March 27, 2016 Author Share Posted March 27, 2016 just noticed I've not actually posted anything here for a little even though I've been working on the kit, fuselage is now together and just working on the windows and masking. I also went out and did some shopping, I came home with this nice looking kit, but that is for a different WIP 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrlx Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 The closed up fuselage looks impressive! Cheers Jaime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

71chally Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Nice build there. My Revell Shack has suffered some slight sinkage, mostly on the top fuselage halves near the lining up pins, and along the flap hinge line on the upper wing halves, has yours got this at all? Builds up really nice and crisply though. BTW it looks like (& forgive me if I'm wrong) that you may have masked up the very rear stbd window, just ahead of the tailplane, this doesn't exist on the MR/AEW.2 and should be painted over in the fuselage colour.

thepureness Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 Little further on here. Canopy on and masked, and wings dry fitted at the moment, so it is looking good Everything is going together nicely 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feifeitim Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 And it was all going so well. I was sitting back comfortably with my popcorn, admiring the way you are putting together the Shavkleton, thinking there is no way on the planet that I'd be able to do it justice and contenting myself that I had just saved myself a huge wad (postage to Hong Kong for the Shack kit is eyewatering), and then you had to do it! Not only did you go and buy the F-8, you took a picture too! So now I've got to have one. And I'll probably get the Shackleton too! And this thread had started out so promisingly! In all seriousness, really great work so far. But can you hurry up and start the Meatbox? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepureness Posted April 9, 2016 Author Share Posted April 9, 2016 Going ok chaps, I wanted to give you peeps a little teaser photo 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrlx Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Excellent line-up! Which kits are those? Did you choose schemes that came with the kits or used aftermarket decals? Cheers Jaime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacktjet Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Is the red in the decals a little on the dark side in your example? The red in mine looks more like the brick red used in WWII a/c codes and national insignia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thepureness Posted April 24, 2016 Author Share Posted April 24, 2016 This is the good part, when the decals really start to bring everything to life. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrlx Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Great job with the decals! I really like this scheme. This kit is now in my wish list. Cheers Jaime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radar Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Looking wonderful, as soon as I've finished the horrible Revell Tonka I'm building I'm starting my Revell Shack too, I'll be interested to see the aerial arrangement you put on the roof.

Radar Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Something has struck me as odd as it did when I first saw this kit built up in the case at Telford last year. I have never seen a picture of an AEW Shack with those horizontal yellow dashes on the fuselage side just in front of "Force". The two normal size vertical yellow Rescue arrows should be there but those horizontal yellow lines, what are they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never seen a picture of an AEW Shack with those horizontal yellow dashes on the fuselage side just in front of "Force". The two normal size vertical yellow Rescue arrows should be there but those horizontal yellow lines, what are they? There should be one just ahead of the crew door, being a standard yellow rescue arrow (the pointy end of which is on the door), the other is yellow script on the crew door itself, just above the chrome door handle. The thing that struck me as odd with the test builds was that the large UHF aerials were present, but they don't appear in the kit - accidentally deleted or scratch built? Fantastic result there thepureness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepureness Posted April 28, 2016 Author Share Posted April 28, 2016 nearly all the decals are now on, just a few more smaller decals. I had some spare propeller tip decals from one of the airfix shacks so used them on this one, not a 100% perfect fit, but they look good enough for me. Hope to have this finished by Saturday night. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
