bentwaters81tfw Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 A proper Nimrod, that. Not a kit to be rushed, and it's been time well spent. Good choice of colours, they don't show the dust so much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Hello CedB, I did follow your WIP. The finished model was worth all the effort you did put into it. It looks great. especially the bomb bay area. Regards, Orion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Graeme Thanks Graeme, very kind of you to say so My modelling has improved a lot since I joined BM and I have to say it's not a 'natural talent' of mine. I've developed techniques by watching other members here and they've been very helpful and kind in helping me improve. I still don't count myself among the 'Master Modellers' but I do enjoy the hobby - and that's the main thing eh? 25 minutes ago, TheBaron said: Fine fine fine very fine work.

Redstaff Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 That's a very nicely done model The colour scheme was a good choice as well rather than the drab greys and barley that you usually see made Love the cockpit detail as well, good to see Billy Idol has got a day job as a pilot now though Might have to get round to one of these at some point Ian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am enjoying my return to the hobby and viewing the WIPs are giving me the encouragement to improve my skills and to move beyond OOB builds.

Don’t be afraid to post your WiPs and ask for help and, like me, you’ll get lots of helpful comments.

Meatbox8 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 An absolute beauty. Lovely smooth paint finish and detailing. This is my favourite scheme on the type by far. I've had mine sitting on the shelf for sometime now awaiting some fine weather to start rattle canning outside with good old Halfords Appliance Whte. Unfortunately, being an exceedngly lazy modeller, my weapons bay looks horrbly bare in terms of added detail compared to yours. I wish I'd opted for the Alley Cat canopy. I'm not convinced I've blended in the kit's piece very well. I guess the first coat of paint will confirm this either way. Still, not too late to fit the Alley Cat part I suppose. Anyway, great inspiration to get on and finish mine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedB Posted March 30, 2019 Author Share Posted March 30, 2019 Thanks Meatbox One sadness for me is that, due to the detailed bay, I didn't want to hide it by fitting the weapons - I'm sure they'll hide the 'bareness' of the kit bay beautifully! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColinChipmunkfan Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Hi Ced, Got a Nimrod recently so will be resurrecting your entertaining and informative wip and all the helpful comments by other BM's as I work through the build. Its true you don't know what you don't know. Clearly there are lots of things I need to correct. Thanks Colin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedB Posted February 1, 2021 Author Share Posted February 1, 2021 Thanks Colin - I hope your build goes well In retrospect I'm not sure I'd worry too much about the intakes - during my modifications I found it quite hard to see the difference!
