Recommended Posts

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.

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.

Congratulations. Very nice work indeed. I have first hand experience of the work involved here and you have made a first class job of this one.

Thanks Tony,  that means a lot.   I'm still watching your build - you're doing well.

This is my second VacForm - the first this Rareplane 1/72 Meteor F8 from 2009.

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.
