Raytheon U-125A | Sword 1:72


Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone

My first post here so I guess it's only appropriate if the subject is a British aircraft (at least to some extent 🙂)

The model is BAe/Raytheon U-125A, a Sword kit in 1:72 scale.  The fit and detail level is typical of short-run kits, with some minor fit issues and not too sharp details. Still nothing that a bit of putty and sanding paper cannot fix.

Painted with Gunze C and Tamiya enamels.

Beautifully done, and your paint weathering effects are exacting!  This is a tough little kit.  I know, because I have it, and have stolen parts from it for another project.  Would you mind advising Mr. Sword to do a straight-up -800 without all the gnarly bumps?

Very good model! Welcome on BM. Show us more models (this shows that you have "some" experience :) )

Nice work and good job on the weathering. I did the kit a while ago, so I know it´s a hard piece of labour to get such a great result as you got.

I just checked your model here on BM and it turns out it is the one I have looked upon many times on the scalemates during my build :)

It inspired me to make alterations to the tail but I gave up on the underwing containers :)
