Vulcanicity Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Nice one! Like the patchy paintwork. Does it come with a Lemmy pilot figurine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fittedkitchens Posted March 18, 2021 Author Share Posted March 18, 2021 Cheers folks (aye, it is a class 'Head track Abandoned Project). Unfortunately, not Vulcanicity, no Lemmy, Eddie or Philthy figures, but it would be possible I guess to convert them from a set of 1/72 Viking figures or such. Here's what I reckon you'd need to do to build the kit 'faithfully' to the album art. Add a nose 'bubble' gun turret for Philthy; Reverse the guns on the upper dorsal turret (adding a second gun) to have them fire forward through the plexiglass; Remove the ventral gondola, and fill the void to make a smooth belly... then add a basic ventral barbette; Mount the wings further up the fuselage (vertically) I reckon steps 1-3 would be easy enough, I may do it on a second model. Step 4 though, nah, a step too far. Paint btw is Revell 'Anthracite' (no. 9). I did darken a few random panels to try to break up the monotony of the surface, I could have weathered it a bit more, but decided to leave it fairly pristine. I should paint the exhausts a different tone though, on reflection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VolkerR. Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Lemmy forever!! Thank you for that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Ian- Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 (edited) Very nice, I have this kit in my stash. When it was initially released in 2019 there was a rumour one of the smaller aftermarket manufacturers was planning to release a conversion kit to better match the album artwork but AFAIK it never happened unfortunately.

At Sea Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Should display it as a 'dogfight double' with the Iron Maiden Spitfire from Revell! Nice work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
