azureglo Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 The first finish of my Airfix Therapy Build thread and my tenth this year!. WIP is here . Paints are Mr colour/levelling thinner. Markings were masked and sprayed (with varying degrees of success) except for the shark mouth, eyes and serial. Went for something different in the photos: the John Dibbs look as I like to call it, cropped in, close and personal. Moments of silliness- microscopic ring and bead sight and those cute little position lights done with acrylic resin. Showtime! Adios muchachos, the stash calls to me and I'm a goin' fer 15 builds finished this year , even if they're a bit rough around the edges like this one! Cheers and thanks for lookin' in Anil 47 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Very neat Tomahawk! But… Ghost Flyer In the Sky? Looks a bit ownerless without a pilot, doesn't it? Nice work though! Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairtrigger Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 That is really spot on... Love it and the in flight display really works, but a pilot in it would tip the scales. I see though where your going displaying the interior and all that hard work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When someone makes decent pre-painted pilots I might try one, in a small 1/72 model they just look toy like maybe thats why the expensive die-casts have empty pits as well.

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Who’d have thought that the RAF turned a Tomahawk into a drone. 👍 ... Great work ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the deset camo Agreed, life's too short to mask wheels, make over-scale brake lines etc, plus they look way more interesting than wheels down, pits open etc. , thanks for the kudos!
