Popular Post gazza l Posted May 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 2, 2020 Hi all, Just off my bench is the newish Revell MR3 Shackleton. Much like the AEW-2version I built a couple of years ago it went together really well with no fit issues, just a little flash to clean up on some of the parts. My only criticism was the poor quality of the clear sprues, particularly the canopy which took a lot of polishing to get an acceptable standard. I added Eduard resin wheels and a photo etch cockpit set. I also replaced the oversized aerials and gun barrels with micro tube. Painted with Xtracolor and MRP paints, weathered with oils and pastel chalks and finally sealed with Alclad satin cote. Thanks for looking, gazza l Finally a family photo with a Revell AEW 2 83 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 (edited) Hello Gazza, Wow, very impressive build. Excellent photography. What a difference, tail or nose gear. Question: Micro tube for the gun barrels. Would you be so kind to give the product numbers from those three different tubes. They look fantastic. Regards, Orion.

The tube is made by Albion alloy and is set No SFT 2 which contains 0.3/ 0.5/ 0.7/ 0.9mm diameter brass tube, Each of these tubes slides into the other, very useful for hydraulic jacks, gun barrels etc. I kept the plastic butt of the guns a just replaced the barrels using two different sizes of tube. Hope this helps, gazza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky Keg Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Very nicely done. I like the subject too. Not often one see`s a single Shackleton, but two as well done as your`s makes it even better!!!!! Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith in the uk Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Wonderful , cant beat a FROG Shackleton , 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 That’s lovely, we all love a good Shack and that MR.3 is stunning. Shame to hear about the canopy, I’ll have to check mine to see how it looks. Nice to see it parked next to another well built AEW.2. Cheers..
