TheStig Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) Scale: 1/48Manufacturer: AirfixPaint: Tamiya and Vallejo metalExtras: SAC metal undercarriage, coastal kits blurred runwayWeathering: Dark dirt washDecals: OOBShes rather a large model once built. Really struggled to get her on my photo background but did the best i could. No major problems with the build, just took longer than normal due to a house move. Had its first outing at the Milton Keynes show last weekend and had lots of positive comments. May bring it to Telford this year but will have to see nearer the time. Here she is in the photobay taking up lots of room! At the MK show with an admirer Edited May 1, 2017 by TheStig 44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatbox8 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Looks splendid, especially in the rotate. Great finish. Must dig out my 1/72 one. It's been in the stash for about 12 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockeyboy76 Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Very very nice. Is there a clear plastic holding her in the rotate or is it just good placing of ballast? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheStig Posted May 2, 2017 Author Share Posted May 2, 2017 Thanks everyone, appreciate all the comments. 30 minutes ago, Hockeyboy76 said: Very very nice. Is there a clear plastic holding her in the rotate or is it just good placing of ballast? Believe it or not she does actuaully balance to perfection! More luck than judgement. But the plan from the start was to use the thinnest bit of fishing wire to hold the back down, so i use this as well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
