thepureness Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 So everyone, this is my first choice for the GB It is a really nice kit just check out the surface detail too. I've got a task on my hands at the moment, I've recently become a build reviewer for a magazine and I've got a Churchill MKIII to finish for a mate at the model club, so wish me luck hereM 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amblypygid Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 This kit is my second choice for the GB, so I wish you luck and I'll be watching closely! Reckon I'd struggle to get it done in four months over summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepureness Posted May 27, 2016 Author Share Posted May 27, 2016 Taken me a few days to finally get some work done today on the kit. We had a build day at my local model club and a hall hired out so the members can sit down for several hours, have a chat and build some models, so I took this and started my interior. Although after posting these pics I can spot a glaring error i made, which will require correcting, but the interior of this kit is amazing, for the price this kit retails at is extremely good value for money 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyC Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 That looks a great kit of a very attractive machine - possibly the best looking Russian a/c of WWII? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thepureness Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 One thing that really surprises me is the amount of detail that goes inside the interior, I think its not far off 150 parts and thats just the cockpit and gunner stations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 That's an impressive part count for such a small area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepureness Posted August 28, 2016 Author Share Posted August 28, 2016 So, this is most of the interior done, apart from the rear machine guns. Unfortunately the carpet monster has part of the assembly for the machine guns, so I'm going to have to do them another way. Interior grey might not be 100% right, but I'm happy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
