bigbadbadge Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 (edited) Hi all Been working on this on and off for a while, this is actually a very nice kit. The Canopy was a bit of a so and so and did not want to conform so cut it into three sections to fit and the periscope legs are too short so used plastic rod. Thanks for looking All the best Chris Edited December 16, 2018 by bigbadbadge 44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have another silver Navy trainer on the workbench next. Although I will be having to pack everything away for a while when the building work starts on the house again.

No I have had this one in the stash for a few years now. I can't recall exactly how long though. All the best Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickthebrief Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Lovely build Chris - not only does the silver look good but so too the "Hawker yellow" in the wheel wells - in the recent Airfix 1:48 kit I think they recommend a colour that is too close to zinc chromate and not sandy enough, if that makes sense... A really lovely result there. Nick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 I like that, my favourite scheme for one of these, seeing it given flesh like this is real cool, especially so nicely done. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve. Thanks Steve, it's a nice kit even for a short run kit. It went together well. 8 hours ago, RidgeRunner said: You did her proud, mate Martin Thanks Martin. I am very pleased with the model and it will look good next to the Oxford in the same scheme. Especially when I build the next Navy trainer again in the same scheme.

noelh Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Something oddly satisfying about that model. Take it out of the obvious workshop setting, place it in a more natural scene and it would look brilliant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Noel, I will have to try that I will see what it comes out like and post one on the thread. 18 hours ago, Orion said: Hello BigBadge, Very interesting subject. Never seen before.
