IanHx Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Nothing says 'GB Interceptor' quite like this one... one of Gerry Andersons's finest. Perfectly named for this group build... it must be Destiny 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanHx Posted December 30, 2020 Author Share Posted December 30, 2020 First disappointment of the day. Not even bad disco lighting can explain this Airfix faux-pas ! Angel on TV: What's in the box ? Good old 'Airfix generic jet pilot, male' ! Off to binge-watch some Captain Scarlet to get some inspiration.... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Oh, wonderful, Airfix' generic and uninvolved crew figure A starting point for remodelling if nothing else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanHx Posted December 31, 2020 Author Share Posted December 31, 2020 Dry "fit" attempted. I use the word "fit" in the loosest possible sense. I can only imagine the wording that went into the job spec for the person recruited to design this kit : "Do you hate children ? Want to get your own back on the noisy little barstewards ? Come and design the Angel Interceptor - with misleading instructions, bits that need the grip of gorilla to prise apart, and wonky fit, you too can have them bawling their eyes out" Ok, a slight exaggeration - but not by much ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theplasticsurgeon Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I tried to depict the clear panel in her helmet, depicting Rhapsody the redhead. And Del's red braces, seat harness (painted tape). Shades by Gel-Pen. Bad henna day, about 10 times over. I used a seat from spares. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanHx Posted December 31, 2020 Author Share Posted December 31, 2020 Here we go, clearly Destiny Angel. Or James May in a blonde wig. Here's a view of the underside showing the less-than-optimal fit . I predict some filling and sanding for 2021..... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterB Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Hi Ian, Turned out rather well after all. I was going to (wrongly) say "where is the ruddy big missile on the nose" then realised I was getting it mixed up with the "Sky" part of "Sky Diver" from UFO!

stevehnz Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Came out well, even the pilot looks the part, much better than what you started with. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimJ Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 That turned out well. Having built a few of these I know all about the fit issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
