tc2324 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Airfix`s 1/24 scale offering, presented in my own way for a bit of fun. A great size reference photo which also highlights my JD intake these last few days...... 37 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAT69 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Now that's creative and very well done. I have to ask, how did you get what I believe is cotton to trail behind the airplane in such a straight manner. The smoke appearance is very effective and I want to know how to do it. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used 2mm clear acrylic rod and then stuck the whisps of cotton wool on in layers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelh Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 The penultimate photo is my least favourite l would not like to be person on the receiving end of that salvo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimT Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Great to see a wheels-up, in-flight version of this. Nicely done; it's fun to see some creativity and risk-taking at work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spruecutter96 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Love the rockets heading on their way. Your modelling of the rocket-exhausts looks very authentic. I remember watching a YouTube video which claimed that the Typhoon's rocket were very erratic in flight and subsequently they hit less than one percent of their intended targets. I don't know how accurate this claim is, but I don't find it too difficult to believe. Thanks for sharing with us. Chris. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadbadge Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Oh wow that's great, it looks fantastic. Great work. Imagine being on the ground when they were diving and releasing the rockets,what an awesome bit of kit and a great model. Thanks for sharing All the best Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Looks great! I've seen a few cotton wool effects that fall flat, but yours looks very realistic. Well done! 👍👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
