F1xena Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Wow! That sure gives new meaning to the term "kit bashing"!! It's a bit like looking at the Millennium Falcon or a Gerry Anderson model, trying to pick out which different kit pieces are used. Great job producing something VERY different...and authentic to the original picture too. Love it!! Cheers Tania 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Poultney Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 That is incredibly awesome! Any idea how much all those sacrificed kits were all together? This must have cost an arm and a leg at least! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janneman36 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Is it me or is the nose a little off😜 .... At first when i looked at the titel i thought that you had done a P-8 Poseidon with everything dangling and open..never expected to see this😀 great job in doing something different👍👍 cheers, Jan 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom216 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Fantastic! Great representation of the picture and it must have been an absolute bear to get together! Kudos! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackson Duvalier Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Brilliant. Even the Very Serious Modellers here at Chateau Duvalier were moved to smirking. I had a blast following your build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malpaso Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Wow, looks fantastic. Nicely interpreted version of the original artists vision and no doubt you've added further imagination of your own for the bits not shown or clear in the picture. And the debris and "laundry" fluttering in the breeze works well too. The pilot would have to be a real hero, I expect there might be a fair degree of asymmetric handling to deal with! 😉 Thanks for thinking out of (quite a number of) the box(es)! Cheers Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Quack Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Great to see this finished. Loved the WIP. This should take pride of place in the display cabinet. Q. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I wondered where this had gotten to. A great end result! And good on you for seeing it through to the end. What's up next? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troy Smith Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 it's so wrong it right..... some of the detail touches remind me of the Revell cartoon kits they did a couple of WW1 one as well https://www.scalemates.com/kits/revell-h191-lucky-pierre-and-his-nieuport--157131 https://www.scalemates.com/kits/revell-h-190-baron--157135 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you mate..all the kits were sourced from kingkit.com,cheap as chips I think the entire thing cost around £75-£80 well worth it for the enjoyment I got out of making it👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
