Shakleton MR3


Recommended Posts

Revell's 1/72nd scale Shackleton MR3 is a lovely kit.

Very well engineered.

No fit problems at all!

Surface detail is very fine and nicely done.

Has the option of a Phase 2 or 3 variant, with the Viper jet engines.

I don't usually do 72nd, but this kit was an absolute joy to build.

Painted with Tamiya acrylics.

Excellent job on the Grey Lady! I hope mine turns out as nicely (it won't, but I can hope). It is a nice kit - I now have two of them. The Frog kit was a brave effort for its day, but this kit is miles ahead of it.

 

Regards,

She's a stunner. Painting those props must have been a nightmare!

Thanks everybody for all the comments and compliments, greatly appreciated😁

Those props were time consuming to say the least!

Especially when I found out afterwards that they should have been just yellow tips!

Great looking Shack, very nicely weathered... looks like she's had a hard life.

I made exactly the same mistake on my build as you, painting the props red and white when they should have been yellow. I'm glad its not just me! 🤪

Very nice, been so tempted to drop back a scale and get one of these and this build doesn’t help to ease the temptation.

Give in to your temptation!

 

Best Regards,

Nicely done!  Nothing to do except join the general chorus of good tidings here.  The weathering looks spot on.  She may be ready for a maritime patrol...or bombing recalcitrant tribesmen in Aden.
