clive_t Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Superb modelling, my only issue is with the comment on your edit reason: "too many photos". I'd love to see more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigginHill Posted July 22, 2019 Author Share Posted July 22, 2019 1 hour ago, DAG058 said: Stunning work. What was the kit like? Thanks for all the positive feedback, the Hobby Boss kit was actually really easy to put together and i did very little scratch building to bring everything together (the undercarriage hydraulics is probably where i spent most time enhancing the basic kit). I bought the kit second hand on Ebay for something like £20, so considering the time and enjoyment i had building the kit i would say its excellent value for money. regards Gavin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan B Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Nice to see a Hobby Boss Avenger build, you have done a stunning job of it. Glad to hear it goes together well as I have one somewhere in my list of 'to do' builds but I'll do the folded wings to save space. Great job, thanks for sharing.
