Popular Post scarlett Posted November 23, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 23, 2019 One I built a little while ago but had not go round to posting, was quite a nice build for a vac-form. Decided to fold the wings and drop the flaps to add a bit more interest. Hope you enjoy Any feedback welcome Regards Paul 77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Oh WOW!! What a great model! I do so wish someone would release a mainstream kit (or indeed that I could find a Dynavector vacgorm hough I doubt I could produce anything like yours! I vividly remember watching Simon's Circus perform at Farnborough years ago .... . Thanks for sharing your photos with us, Jonny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stringbag Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Very nice indeed Paul. I've just managed to get hold of one from a good friend of mine and only hope it turns out as well as this one. 👍 Thanks for posting. Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelman182 Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Beautiful work. Those Dynavector vacforms can turn out lovely. I've managed to collect a few of them for my stash, but not the Scimitar. I only hope I can produce results as fine as yours. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abandoned Project Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Wow! That is amazing work, if you have not have said that it was a vacform I would have said that it was a new tool injection kit. Superb work Sir, your patience and skills really show in the results of your fine model, and the quality of the kit you started with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Jones Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Lovely model , well done indeed , one of my favourite aircraft of all time , how about an injection moulded 1/48 scale kit someone ?. One small point however , the area under the sliding hood has a flat shelf that is attached to the canopy and carries the pipework in this area , it should slide backwards with the open canopy. Apart from this minor error , a very fine build . Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Definite proof that a vacform in competent hands can look just as crisp and sharply delineated as any injected kit. Superb modelling! Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kev67 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Always like a vac form model, brilliantly made as always, I thought I recognised it from some where Paul 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldy Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Very nice model of a largely forgotten type. I, like many others, have often shied away from vacforms - I have enough trouble with injection moulded kits!. This one looks great!

scarlett Posted November 24, 2019 Author Share Posted November 24, 2019 Many thanks for the kind feed back guys. Andrew didn't know the canopy issue, will remember this if anyone ever brings out an IM of this aircraft, should be one on Airfix radar really Thanks everyone!!

Rob K. Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Turning a vacform looking better than a quality mainstream - That’s real skill. Amazing👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzby061 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Flawless work. I have the Dynavector Wyvern in the pending file. It's Wyvern shaped but needs more fettling. Seeing results like yours can either a) Inspire me to finish it or b) Leave it where it is. Delete where inapplicable. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy350 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 A+ build, absolutely brilliant. Starting to think there should be a beginner RFI section 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
