Angel Expósito Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Fantastic kit absolutely interesting, if we except its size, around 52cm of wingspan. It comes completely riveted, and with many good details all over the areas. All control surfaces are movable as well as propellers. The scheme of these AEW. 2 are a bit boring, so I tried to gain a little more richness in the colours by clarifying in random areas. Thanks for looking. Cheers! 58 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnie Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 That is superb. Well done. Your paintwork brings the beast to life. Can I ask what paint and mixes you used?👏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLC1966 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 That is one hell of a model. I think the weathering, and its affect on the grey scheme are over the top, but the actual skills in applying the paint are wonderful. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomprobert Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 My personal opinion: as an artistic representation of a Shackleton - great. As a life-like representation of the real aircraft - not so much. I know the AEW2s got a little grubby from time to time, but the weathering on this one is a little over the top if you ask me. However, each to their own and all that... 🙂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angel Expósito Posted June 11, 2018 Author Share Posted June 11, 2018 (edited) Thx a lot for your kindly comments, pretty appreciated. But Tom is right, there's a lot of artistic license. Only I've seen one of these at Duxford (unfortunately for me...), so different to my version. Anyway they were in better conditions than I depicted. All the best buddies!!
