stevehnz Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Brilliant Chris, you've made a stunning job of this, something for the rest of us poor mortals to aspire to. Steve. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted September 22, 2019 Author Share Posted September 22, 2019 Thanks Steve, very kind of you too . I have to say that I have really enjoyed making this model and this GB has really opened my eyes to other Frog models which I may have to look out for. Thanks again All the best Chris 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinxman Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Very smart indeed. The more you look, the more detail you find - lovely. I'm still thinking Forth Road Bridge with the struts though. 😀 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnson Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 That's absolutely super Chris. The Shark (another plane I'd never heard of before!) is one of my favourites in this GB. A great build, well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted September 22, 2019 Author Share Posted September 22, 2019 Thanks guys for your very kind comments. You are right on about the Struts @Jinxman.

AdrianMF Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Wonderful! The extra detailing and improvements have really made it stand out. After swearing never again I’ve now got a hankering to see if I can get the wings right second time around... Regards, Adrian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

825 Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Only just got back from holiday so just picked up on this. You have taken this kit to another level. Truly a brilliant job on a challenging model. Take a bow Chris. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been holding back on the Gallery pics as I have ordered a new Vickers gun from Miniworld and am awaiting it's arrival. I have also had camera issues so may have to continue with the phone for photos. Thanks and all the best Chris 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Leader Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 A truly wonderful build and a fine example of all the great things that come with these Classic kit GB’s. How can someone that originates over 50 years ago still look like a modern day state of the art replica? I dare say I’m sure I’m not the only one who loves this build and something tells me that we might have a new name up there on the leaders board. What else is there to say... a great example of proper modelling there Chris! Cheers and well done.. Dave 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
