seadog Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 IIRC, they do a large scale version of K7 as well? Kind of pricey But gorgeous! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head in the clouds. Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Only just stumbled across this build, I too did not realize there was a kit of the K7 in this scale, I built the AlleyCat kit for the Prototype and Experimental Group build which has lots of shape and detail issues but which I enjoyed building. Hope you have as much joy as I did with what looks like a superb kit. Gary 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hewy Posted June 23, 2018 Author Share Posted June 23, 2018 I've had some spare time so I've brought this build to a long overdue conclusion, after about 4 attempts on the spray deflectors, i finally ended up with something acceptable, As for the canopy, its a fair rendition even with the slight alteration around the intakes, although it has the thickness of a crisp packet making it impossible to mask and spray the frame work, i cut out some sticky backed foil tape to make the frames, this helped with firming it up a little, but it was clear the frame was going to have to be brush painted, And any missed bits would pass as chipped paint, i hoped, i finished off th fod covers, and added the ariel and pitot, and mounted it on the base, job done, I'm happy with how its turned out, so is the new owner by the way, thanks to all who have commented and liked it, i hope you like the finished article too.

Hewy Posted June 24, 2018 Author Share Posted June 24, 2018 Thanks chaps, the base is merely a piece of black perspex with some padding on the back that is used for chair and table legs when they're on wooden floors, the writing is a decal from the kit, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
