Martin Ford Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I echo what many have said above. Looks great to me, love the finish, it looks so real and worn. This kit was on my 'to buy' list, which will go on the subs bench stash before getting upgraded to the main stash cupboard. After seeing this I may take the plunge sooner. All the best, Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzby061 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 A truly sublime Shagbat. You wouldn’t guess you’d had any problems with it. Must get mine out of the stash. Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I`m currently stuck at the rigging stages with mine,..... just cannot gather up the `oomph' to get on with it! Cheers Tony I was the same Tony, ended up looking at a few youtube clips to help Martin, I love that you have separate stash in order of priority of building. I have a friend who does the same Thanks for all the comments fellas, It really does spark one up and makes one want to build more Bruce 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael51 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Great work; a superb finish with the weathering. As for the rigging, it looks fine but I do feel your pain. The EZ line / CA conspiracy has beaten me, Michael 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Henry Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 I really like it. I must admit that I am not very familiar with this particular aircraft. I will have to learn more about it. Thanks for posting. Bob H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xtracolour Dark sea grey and dark slate grey for camouflage colours. the colours on the lower wings were lightened with white. All colours were lightened about 10%, with the lower wing colours being lightened about 40% Hope this helps Bruce 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emily-Emma silverscreen Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 (edited) wow!!! no WOW !!. turning the page ,going to next unread topic and than I am confronted with this great magnificent walrus ,it can only makes me feel humble myself. conclusion:I like it very much and think it is beautifull. and it reminds me of the long+winding road that is still lying ahead of me ....and I recognize something in what happened to you when using that ez rigging.I use EZ too , besides nylon fishing thread, and me too has had that experience of the seemingly shy behaviour of the EZ thread,it is like a child in puberty!. it must be static electricity somewhere I guess ,on the plane,on the glue or on the EZ ,or on the personwrestling to construct a rigging.to find out which ,some experiments must be done ,but up to now I 'll put my money on electrostatic EZ [the material were it is made of is highly suspect in my eyes for this interesting phenomenon] rigging thread being the primary suspect!

71chally Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Absolutely superb build and finish, faultless. Probably wouldn't even believe it originated as an Airfix kit just a few years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
