Avro Shackleton AEW.2 (Revell 1/72)


Recommended Posts

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!

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.

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... 🙂

Congratulations on producing one of the finest looking Shackleton's around, the work you've put into the paint job to show that weathered look is first rate!

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!!
