Keith 1 hour ago, Biggles87 said: Seconded. John Cheers Keith and John, glad you like her OK, she's completed now - and I cheated ... I did give a thorough look at the spare Airfix Sidewinders I have, and they have issues too, and not very easy to correct. So I decided to strategically place RBF tags in a way that they cover the imperfections Or some of it, anyway... Looking menacing, isn't she? Some interiors; here you can see I actually put the control stick in... Through the canopy: that Alclad Aqua Gloss is great stuff, I tells ya! Testing a base idea for the show: But I'm not really convinced, I'll have to come up with a better idea. Comments welcome, as ever Ciao Edited October 4, 2018 by giemme 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 That's a stunner Giorgio, really cracking build again! And the RBF tags aren't a cheat they're an absolute necessity with that load out - & the perfect finishing touch!! What's going to be next on the bench?

Biggles87 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) They've beaten me to it again. Excellent build and result. If I'm not mistaken it'll be a Skyray next, beautiful design.

Oh that's easy, I already know the answer: there's going to be a lot of great models! I participated at the same show two years ago, winning a bronze with Sandy Bay-Bee (F-4C in 1/72), and there were some real masterpieces in all the categories 13 minutes ago, Spookytooth said: Great work Giemme, hope that it gets a prize, it deserves it.

Massimo Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 What an update Giorgio!!!! She's gorgeous!!!!!! I like the paint work and all the detail given by the open panels , flaps and weaponry. About the stand, I'd go for something light. The tiger's a bit too much...I'd say baroc... it catches your eye and diverts your attention from what's above it. The Sqn badge is Ok, but a wooden finish may be enough. You may add a pilot...or a helmet on the base, close to the steps. Anyway looks great! What next? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Massimo I agree the tiger base is too much, I'm just a little short on time, I'm supposed to drop the models off to the show tomorrow morning ... Printing a background at the moment is the quickest solution, I'll select a different one Next is a Tamiya Skyray in 1/72, BTW Ciao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badder Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I'm not into making wing'ed things, but I do appreciate the 'beauty' of certain aircraft. The A10 is one of those iconic pieces of hardware that really ticks the boxes, and you've done the breed proud. Superb craftsmanship Giorgio.
