CedB 65,776 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 I started this one as I wanted a straightforward build. Little did I know I had a 'Friday kit' that suffered from some of the moulding problems Airfix were having at the time. Warped fuselage, excess plastic on the joins and in some orifices (nasty) and a hugely complex cockpit assembly were all overcome in the WiP: Done now though, finished in Colourcoats apart from the Hataka PRU on the bottom. W&N satin varnish and Flory black wash. I hope you like it 28 Link to post Share on other sites

stevehnz 11,091 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 That did turn out well. I'm still a bit out on the Swift, they remind me of a Hunter's ugly step sister but built like you've done, it's turned out quite handsomely. Steve. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

The Spadgent 20,274 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Wowah. With all the Helichopper action I missed the RFI. She’s a stunner. I particularly like the wash. Brilliant. Johnny 1 Link to post Share on other sites
