moaning dolphin Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Great stuff, the kit looks wonderful and the diorama setup looks just right, very well done. I've always fancied doing an Atlantic, it'll sit nicely next to my Nimrod and CP140 .... when I get round to building them of course! Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much appreciated. I had the same problem. The very intimidating boxart was looking at me from the shelf since 2011. But after reading some interesting articles regarding this aircraft, I grabbed the box and started with the cockpit. I have seen it in actual service by the Netherlands Navy Air Arm. For some updates on my model, I visited the Armed Forces Air Force Museum in Soesterberg. Armed with my camera, I made some pictures. Regretfully I was not allowed inside the airframe. The parked aircraft, has been handed over (Free of cost) by the German Federal Navy. Standing next to it, you realize how hughe the aircraft actually is. Regards, Orion / The Netherlands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Hello Miguel, Thanks for your kind response. Indeed, I know some modelers who started with the kit, but never finished it.

In 2005 i have built a Atlantic for the father of my friend. I would like to have my own Atlantic but its hard to get at ebay Hello Callahan, Thanks for your response. You did already on e model. I find it very hard, to build a model more than ones. I like to get on with the next one. Regards, Orion / The Netherlands. On 10/31/2020 at 11:01 PM, Sky Keg said: Well researched and presented.

I don't remember seeing an Atlantique modelled before, all the more welcome for that. Pete Hello Pete, Thanks for your kind response. Indeed, I have not seen this model on any model contest show. Yes, one time, the model from the Revell Germany Roadshow. Constructed by a modeller from the company. Regards, Orion / The Netherlands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cklasse Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Just saw this build and it looks good. Well done with the build. I just replied to a seller to buy his unbuild box of this Atlantique with the first release paint scheme. Hopefully I can finish build this when I got it. I have an unfinished AC130 because I have no space for a one meter wing span C130. My one meter long 1/35 Schnellboot is still in the box for the same reason.

MBM Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Firstly this is a masterpiece of modelling, I love what you've done with both the model and the diorama. Secondly the thought put into creating this post is greatly appreciated, I knew little about this aircraft so it was an interesting read. All the best, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
