Martian Posted October 17, 2019 Author Share Posted October 17, 2019 I'm beginning to think I was lucky just having to cope with three symbols. The sooner the proposed Martian-Arabic dictionary comes out the better! Overwhelmed of Mars 👽 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I thought they were one and the same anyway. In the 1984 film, Dune, Some people are heard speaking Arabic. The spice must flow! (But it's probably curry powder). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martian Posted October 18, 2019 Author Share Posted October 18, 2019 The model is now sitting on it's undercarriage which leads to the "deliberate" mistake. A certain plonker of this parish managed to glue the undercarriage doors on the wrong way round! Following a bout of unprintable alien cursing, directed mostly at myself, they have now been removed and glued on the correct way round. I did manage to get the bomb bay doors on right though, probably because there was only one way they could fit! I put it all down to still being traumatised by @Moa's suggestion that I eat humans. The masking has been removed from the transparencies and the DF fairing fitted to the top of the fuselage. The landing light and navigation lights came from Little Cars' lenses. I think that another couple of sessions at the bench should see this build completed. I am in serious danger of finishing three models this year with a fourth in with a sporting chance of getting finished as well. @Mike had better get a team of councillors on standby for those BM members who cannot cope with such an unheard of scenario! Thanks for looking Martian 👽 PS; The pictures were taken before I noticed the undercarriage doors. 27 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hopkp Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 That looks just beautiful. Also, congratulations on creating and following through on what - for my money anyhow! - has been by the proverbial country mile (or perhaps its Martian equivalent, whatever that might be?) the most entertaining Britmodeller thread of 2019! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 A very pretty effort indeed @Martian Hale, it has been quite a journey but worth the wading through the undergrowth to get to the end & a most pleasant ending it is. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian Posted October 18, 2019 Author Share Posted October 18, 2019 Thanks CC. I am back on the Roc this weekend as soon as I have put the finishing touches to this build. No promises but I will give it my best shot to have it ready on time. Martian 👽 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thom216 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 That is a lovely looking model. Nice job. I have to ask though, you say this is Lebanese markings, but I think the red circle in the insignia has some other meaning? Mars itself perhaps...🤨 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philp Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 I have always wanted to see this plane finished in these markings. Thanks for letting me mark that one off. I think she looks fantastic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many a true word and all that; that is exactly.what I did with my SH-34 build a couple of years back, leading to a very stressed week getting her repaired in time for SMW. I was not a happy Martian! 5 hours ago, Thom216 said: That is a lovely looking model. Nice job.

Anyway, everybody knows that Martian roundels are Mr Blobby pink with a bright yellow centre. 3 hours ago, philp said: I have always wanted to see this plane finished in these markings.
