theplasticsurgeon Posted April 17, 2021 Author Share Posted April 17, 2021 Undercarriage. Removeable, plugged into locating tubes. Matted finish, camera ports, tailhook. and up onto her pins. This is a very finely balanced model. Nav lights on fronts of the tip-tanks. I forgot to ballast the nose, so my undercarriage nose-door could well be made of lead. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theplasticsurgeon Posted April 19, 2021 Author Share Posted April 19, 2021 Undercarriage door fitted. That nosedoor is lead - guess who forgot the nose ballast. The model is now completed, but I'll do photos later today - when the light is less harsh. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjwomack Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Awesome work. My only regret is it means that the two Savage builds going on won't be flying in formation in this sub-forum again- I'll get over it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray S Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 That is fabulous Tim, and a great result! A good save with the nosewheel door too. All the best, Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dnl42 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Nice work! Even more so considering the Dark Arts that are apparently needed for this! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray S Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 That is an excellent result Tim, from here you certainly cannot tell it is a vacform kit. Cheers, Ray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LorenSharp Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Superb job on the Savage Tim. I have the CM 1/48 vac that I'll get to one of these years. In the meantime you've given me lots of ideas when the time comes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I hadn't spotted this one till you referenced it in the Roden kit news in the Rumourmonger, you've sure done a sweet job on this, enough to make me lust after a Roden one now.

Being completed around the same time as Airfix released an injection F8. . . Interesting, the Savage too was my second vac. The first was a Caledonian 757 in 1:144 from Welsh Models. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
