BritJet Posted December 24, 2020 Author Share Posted December 24, 2020 Thanks for the very kind comments. I've had the kit for a long time and always wanted to do it in this scheme. The masking took a while but after painting, the model was soon finished. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roginoz Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 What a magic result !! Whose kit is it, pray tell, I need to add it to my "wants" list. Rog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritJet Posted December 24, 2020 Author Share Posted December 24, 2020 Thanks. My kit was by RugRatResins but it hasn't been available for a long time - https://www.scalemates.com/kits/rugratresins-rr08-001-avro-748--170769 There was another kit by S&M but I don't think this has been available for a few years either - https://www.scalemates.com/kits/sandm-models-smk72-17-avro-748--1023972 Alternatively there is a 3D printed one by One Man Model - http://one-man-model.main.jp/ Hopefully you can find one of these somewhere!

Lord Riot Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Outstanding! I wish someone would release a mainstream kit of the 748/Andover, been after one for years! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you very much Steve, appreciate that. I am hoping to build both a C1 and C2 and at least one will be Raspberry Ripple, if not both. Your model is 1/72 is it not? I will build in either 1/144 or 1/72, basically what ever I can get my grubby mitts on. 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyJammedKenny! Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 That is really outstanding! I love your finish on this, which is smooth and precise. The color-scheme is spot-on, and must've taken hours to accomplish. Bravo! How come I didn't see this earlier? Oh, well. Was wondering if you wouldn't mind posing this with another aircraft to show us its relative size--say a C-47 or some-such. BTW: S&M Models assures me they'll release an injection-molded 748 in Dan Air and Queen's Flight colors late in 2021. Their original projected time-frame was in the summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The colour scheme took a while to mask but as always only a couple of minutes to spray. The 748 is pretty much the same size as a C-47 - sorry no photo with my C-47 as it is undergoing a major rebuild at the moment after taking a short vertical flight and in no fit state to be seen in public! I really hope S&M do the 748 as it was very widely used so there are plenty of colour schemes available. Everybody's plans have taken a big hit so it will just have to be wait and see for many things. Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a mate in Oz that asked me just today if I knew of a 72nd 748. I'll let him know about S&M. Do they have a website? The Raspberry ripple looks great on yours, Steve.
