Paul J Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Not a new build or finisher but one I did some years ago Magna kit. I built this as a review sample for SAMI. Some of you my have or recall it. Any wayI repaired this a short while ago and while I was having a clear out today I took these pics to fill in time. Enjoy... I was thinking about giving it a repaint in to the sand / brown scheme some time. I think I still have the instructions and diagrams for it somewhere. 35 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glatisant Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 An unusual,but good looking aircraft. Sand/brown would look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adey m Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 A lovely model of a subject you do not see much. I like the grey/green camo used in the Far East in Malaya. regards, adey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bentwaters81tfw Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I have one in the stash. How did you get on with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I really like that. Myself, I rather like the colours now, but perhaps I'll be outvoted on that. Never mind; it's still a great model. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love 'em or hate 'em' ones task is not too easy with chunks of waste to be removed to get to the basic part. Overrall though, once all the parts are cleaned up its OK. The decals could be better; they are in register but don't stick too well. You may notice I have lost a serial number on starboard rear. And part of the fin flash has flaked off, The cockpit clear part wasn't very clear. Wasn't too concerned as the vac part needed blending with the rest and to finish I painted it a very dark grey and then dealt with the frames after. It takes on a solid model appearance but looks OK. The cockpit interior has all the furniture but is crude. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzby061 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 (edited) Looks great. I had a flight in Air Atlantique’s Raspberry Ripple schemed aircraft many years ago. An interesting experience! Pete Edited August 13, 2018 by Buzby061 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72modeler Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Yowzah! Very, very nice build, Paul! I have the George Elliot vacform, which looks very nice, but haven't worked up the nerve to start it. I agree with ToT about the walkways- bet those were fun! I always thought the Twin Pin was a handsome beast. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
