RG Yup...prototype G-AODF at Farnborough. Converted from four Alvis Leonides engines and added an extra few feet into the fuselage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alancmlaird Posted November 19, 2016 Author Share Posted November 19, 2016 Forgot to leave a recomendation of Tamiya masking tape - better than anything for avoiding under-bleed I've used. Doesn't pull round in a curve all that well (Frog tape does - but it can allow bleed), but still great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nimrod54 Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 That's a fantastic model Alan, it will be a nice addition to the gallery. It's been great to see the techniques that you have used to alter the fuselage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Nimrod....as a returnee to the hobby after about 30 years, my instinct for meddling seems to be worse than ever - never knowingly built a kit straight from the box! My friend Scimitar's 'worst kits in the stash' stash reduction scheme continues to turn up a few jems - particularly vac forms.

It worked a treat Nice work Alan, quite a unique and stand out scheme. Hope to see some 'finished' pictures in gallery soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewW Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Great modelling I've one of these in my stash and had fully intended to make it as the BEA mark as if would fit in with a highland and island theme. Great work enjoyed the WIP. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
