Popular Post The Shearwater Posted February 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) A few pics of my Revell F.3, finished in 11 Sqn livery and surrounded by assorted ground handling bits from etched/resin kits (Flightpath for the GPU and VideoAviation for the Schopf tug). Models very much a long way from perfect, in part as I've nowhere to run an airbrush! Backdrop is the Noy's Miniatures hangar, which just blew me away when I first saw it here a few months ago.

eng Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Wow, that superb! You've done a cracking job of that F.3. The hangar backdrop is very effective and certainly in the pics has a 3D look to it. Eng 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DougC Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Ah, that's a lovely F3 & a great hangar diorama. I can even smell the hydraulic fluid.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navy Bird Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 What a great job, both on the Tornado and the photography with the hangar. The Tornado is the Italeri kit in a Revell box? Is the hangar a printed backdrop, or an actual model of the walls of the building? I'm not familiar with it. Cheers, Bill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve just had to google it and it seems it was indeed the Italeri mould used for the Revell kits. Apparently the quality/accuracy isn’t as good as the Revell GR.1 although to my untrained eye it seemed fine (apart from a poorly finished nose cone requiring a lot of filler!). The backdrop is printed on three sheets of thin card - two A4 (base and side) and one smaller square (end). I glued them onto foam board to make a storage / display unit. 9 hours ago, DougC said: Ah, that's a lovely F3 & a great hangar diorama. I can even smell the hydraulic fluid.... 😁 thank you!
