Viking Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Even standing still the Vigilante looks like it'd doing 500 mph! Another beauty Russ, keep 'em coming. Cheers John 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikolay Polyakov Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Your Vigilante looks superb, Russ - excellent work! I still haven't any progress on mine... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatbox8 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 A superb rendition of this impressive beast. Great paint finish and photography, particularly that low angle shot (no.4). With a carrier deck base it would be very convincing indeed. I've always thought the Vigilante was an incredible aircraft and surprised how relaively short its service career was. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booty003 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Very smart Russ. I loved building the Trumpy '72 version and have another in the stash. I do like seeing the bigger scale versions of the models that I build, would love to see them side by side to compare the size. The A3 must be a real beast!! 🙂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Hello Russ, My highest compliments on this achievement. Besides this all, it is our hobby. Small or big, as long as you (we) are happy with it. I look at my wife now. She is not to happy with it (The Stash) and finished models in all their respective dust covers. And besides that, me taking more and more desk space in the U formed hobbyroom. For the moment, I can hold on to my new conquered space. But I have to emphasize "For the moment" The Vigilante: It is big, but I like it. It shows the big leap forward in US designing. To my knowledge the biggest airplane in the CVW at the time. Was never surpassed again. Must have been top notch "drivers" to get this off and on a floating airfield. Regards, Dirk / The Netherlands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivand Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Despite its size, it's such an elegant airplane, from the time when machines looked fast without being brutish - Jaguar E-type springs to mind... Wonderful work! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
