Dereknf Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 This was a bit of a challenge and it hasn't turned out great but frankly better than expected. Interesting aeroplane though. It used more filler than glue in places and required a lot of weight to keep it in its wheels. Sprayed in Vallejo acrylics and using a Caracal decal sheet, here it is. z20201205_164755 by Derek N.Ferguson, on Flickr z20201205_164806 by Derek N.Ferguson, on Flickr z20201205_164814 by Derek N.Ferguson, on Flickr z20201205_164826 by Derek N.Ferguson, on Flickr 37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheyJammedKenny! Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Impressive! It's open to debate on which kit is harder to build: Mach 2's or Valom's. Either way, this is well executed, and the acrylics' effect is quite good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Given that it's a Mach 2 kit, you're to be commended for having untaken such a project. I think the end result looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwaters81tfw Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Having built both Mach 2's and Valom's versions, getting any sort of good result is testament to your skills. I'd love to see the underwing to engine nacelle areas, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaracalModels Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Very nice - I heard the Mach 2 Tornado kit was a challenging kit, it looks like you have done a great job building it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R A Ferguson Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Very good to see it built, and a great job at that. I made a RB58 Vac-Form one many years ago [n RAF markings. Not a bit as good as your version RAF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R A Ferguson Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 RB-45C operated by the RAF from 1952-54 at RAF Sculthorpe. The model was built in 2001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike N Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Now, I thought the Valom kit was hard work, but I reckon Mach 2 probably trumps that. Great work and always nice to see a B-45! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72modeler Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 The fact that your completed model even vaguely resembles a B-45C says volumes about your patience and modeling skills! A very nice model! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navy Bird Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 I'll bet that was a challenge - the very first word in your subject line is "Mach2"! I think you did a great job taming the beast. The B-45 is underrepresented in the modelling community, and you don't see one of these often. 👍 Cheers, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S. Uehlinger Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Very nice work! The B-45 was the "other" bomber featured in the 1953 film "War of the Worlds" - showing how they were stripped of armament and used as Courier Aircraft due to Commo Breakdown. It was the Flying Wing, of course that dropped the A-Bomb in vain hopes of stopping them .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
