Charlie19 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 (edited) This was a commission build for a client who creates amazing photo-composite work. You don't see many of these built, and I'm not surprised as it's a b***h of a kit in places! My client wanted a wheels-up configuration, which the kit does not include so I used a resin aftermarket undercarriage set and worked those into the configuration for raised undercarriage and re-scribed panel lines. A very challenging kit but satisfying results finally achieved! I was also required to build a torpedo and dolly (Flightpath set), a really nice little build!

AntPhillips Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Two terrific builds, both the Barracuda and the Torpedo and Trolley look very real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murdo Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Cracking builds, the Barracuda is a beauty! So is the torpedo for that matter. What did you use for the steel effect? It's very realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Murdo, i uses a base of Alclad aluminium, then AK steel paste (amazing stuff), then finished with a coat of Tamiya Smoke. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickthebrief Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 A lovely job on both. I've recently built the torpedo trolley - I found it really tricky, but I'm not very good with etch... I have a Barracuda or three in the stash and this makes me want to build one... Nick. Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtickWarspite Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Very cool, the pilot figure really adds a sense of scale as to how big the plane actually was. Torpedo looks excellent as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
