Epeeman Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Built mostly OOB (and brush painted) with the electric motor installed - hence the 'in flight' display on stand. Seemed a shame to throw away the engine, so added that also to the stand as part of the overall display. Regards Dave 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaffajake Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Very tidy finish. Nice to see the merlin sitting proud beneath her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrardandrews Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Still a wonderful classic, and your interpretation of this great kit showing it at it's best. very much a right of passage type of kit, l made mine back in 70, bendy wing and all, and the box art, was so eye-catching. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave N Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Just awesome. There's something so nostalgic about this classic, and you've certainly done her proud. Very well done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Very neat treatment of the Airfix classic! And the Merlin display idea is great – if I'd thought of it, I might have turned it so that the front end points to the front and perhaps reamed out the exhaust ports, but it certainly adds interest to the whole. Smart and imaginative modelling! Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
