Black Knight Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 This was built for a special GB. To see if the builder could build a kit within a 'Saturday Afternoon' in the way we did as young 'uns. Basic tools, no aftermarket bits were allowed. Not even alternate decals unless they were in with the kit. Time scale was limited to 'after lunch' to 'tea time' - approx 5 hours max Tools I used were; a Stanley knife ( my original one from about 1971-ish! I had to put a new blade in it for this tho ), a file (also one of my original tools but with a handle on it now), some w&d paper, tube glue. But fresh brush cleaner and meths. The clock was to mark the start time - 13.30 I got it done just in time. Finish time for me being 18.30 The build was not considered completed until the aeroplane had made a machine gunning or bombing attack on the cat/dog/ baby bro, or in my case a bomb run on the tin of Quality Street. This had to be done before build time was up. I did not use any fillers, masking tape or solutions for the 'stickers' ( I reckon you can tell! ) Paints were mainly Humbrol acrylics, just Revell 99 Aluminium used on the prop boss. Only two brushes used, a size 00 round and a size 2 flat This was just for a bit of craic, to get a break away from the serious detailed model building. 26 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanC Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Love it. Did you also simulate walking to the paper shop or Woolies in the morning to buy it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but I did have to do my 'chores' before I could sit down to build it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
