Popular Post Paulaero Posted October 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 22, 2019 Whilst searching for some of my daughters pictures I found a folder with these in. It was built for Display in GeeDee models in Nottingham , now sadly closed like so many Local model shops. This was built back in 2012 when first released, I remember laughing as my little girl had hold of it, when it was part finished ( 3and a half then) zooming it around the sky making jet noises. I stopped laughing as she 'landed ' it at what would of been about 30g if it was real and a ROD that snapped off all the U/C. Fortunately a quick call to Airfix had replacement parts on rout and it was repaired, painted and put on display before she got a second trial flight. Seam to remember it was as nice kit, about time for a re release as I understand they are fetching quite a bit, most of them stashed away no doubt. Finished in all over white courtesy of Xtracolor enamel. Would like to have got some shots with a better background but time was against me. With a just started Gnat for scale A bit of inspiration for Timmas I hope Paul 85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binbrook87 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Absolute belter. Really great model and that white finish is faultless...not easy to achieve. I have a 1/144 Mikro Mir one in the stash ready for the same finish as yours. Great work 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulaero Posted October 23, 2019 Author Share Posted October 23, 2019 Thanks for all the kind comments, I had intended to use it as a start for all three V bombers in white but unfortunately the model shop sold it off before I knew about It Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdauben Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Wonderful job! I think the British Valiant is right up there with the American Hustler as a couple of the most beautiful jet bombers ever built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham T Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Thats a superb finish for an all white machine. Sincerely wish I could replicate it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HP42 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 That's rather lovely, very well built indeed. I also miss Gee-Dee models. No models shops left in Nottingham now unless you want to go to Hobbycraft and see mainstream boxes at huge expense. Best place now is Access Models in Newark or Newark Air Museum.
