Roger Newsome Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Finished, it's been a bit of a chore to get some half decent pix but here it is and the bomb aimers position transparency decided to part company during the photography so requires a bit of a touch up.

It should be time for another Tiffy but..... I've already started something out of the stash and I also have something I bought at Halifax I'm keen on building. Both of a Pacific theme. Back to work on Thursday though. 😣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart That's right Stuart but I was moved to a different ship last trip so I'm still working out the lie of the land, they might not be as tolerant of my modelling escapades on this one, I need to break them in gently before going full airbrush and Mr Hobby Levelling Thinner mode. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloudman1961 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Nice. I need one of these in my stash. I had a go at the Airfix version a couple of years back. (Ended in tears). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Ended in tears). I've come to a complete halt on my Airfix one. It's looking at me accusingly from it's box as I ype this. Don't know why I've stalled, I started with great enthusiasm but it's just ebbed away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got quite a way into mine and I had left it on my desk - get this - under a book shelf! For some reason I then pulled a book off the shelf and dislodged another...you get the picture. There was shrapnel everywhere. As I recall it my reaction was one of relief☺️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitchen Modeller Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Great work Roger - she turned out brilliantly. Love the shading and weathering effects - looks like the real thing. Goes to show that restrained weathering really helps the illusion at this scale. I’m delighted for you 😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Law Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Excellent result. I thought something was odd with the canopy in some of the photos. I hope you can get it fixed easily. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
