The Scout has been sitting while I finish some other kits off and while I ponder about detailing the Nimbus. I decided that a little bit of wiring was probably enough. So here it is. The main rotor is also on and all that needs to be done is add a little bit of etch added to finish off. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dansk Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Nice detailing with that wiring around the engine, nearly there now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 That is looking very nice indeed, the additional wiring on the Nimbus makes a difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
825 Posted August 2, 2020 Author Share Posted August 2, 2020 I need to get this finished and in the gallery. There's very little to do apart from add the wipers, an aerial and small wheels on the skids. I got a detailing kit from Air-Graphics to get a resin Nimbus for a Wasp conversion and it had a couple of the small manouvering wheels for the skids. These obviously won't be needed for the Wasp so on the went. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Very nearly done now. I like the additional wheels, a nice extra touch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I like that. I've still got the one I built about 50 years ago in Jordanian colours, now dismantled & after seeing this & revisiting the photos of the one I took at Middle Wallop, I'm thinking one of these would look good. You've provided some very helpful tips along the way. Thanks. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
825 Posted August 11, 2020 Author Share Posted August 11, 2020 The wheels painted no the final etch added, steps and wipers. And this is now finished. It's been sitting for the last week waiting for me to become less lazy and photograph it, or should it be she/her? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angell328 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 What a lovely build and finish, a lot of detail in a tiny kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a bit of etch and some further detailing on the engine but the level of detail from Airfix for a kit from 1966 wasn't at all bad.

modelling minion Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 A great result. I have really enjoyed watching your build, I built a few of these as a kid (nowhere near as good as this though!) and it has been great to see one going together again. Very well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
