beefy66 Posted June 7, 2021 Author Share Posted June 7, 2021 Rob and Ray thank you and everyone for the likes. Well gave all the parts a clear coat and started on the decals but having a bit of a mare nearly every one has split and in some cases just disintegrated on me so having to paint in and repair some of the bigger ones. Funny how these speed builds always take so long. Stay Safe beefy 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Steve not quite as much work as you have given yourself with Missouri So another update I have attached the skirt and fixed the main structures only got rails and some radar stuff to do before the water and foam. 🛁 Been practising in the bath as reference. Also been getting some bits and bobs for another build wish I had this last year when building Lord Nelson And some Black Cat accessories from Starling Models Stay Safe beefy 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnoldAmbrose Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Gidday Beefy, great job on this. I know almost nothing about hovercraft but this looks like it might have been a considerable size, compared with the tank it's carrying. Regards, Jeff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beefy66 Posted June 28, 2021 Author Share Posted June 28, 2021 Cheers Gent's for all the likes and nice comments. So more fuzzy stuff added and last of the small plastic bits only the weathering and clear warning beacons to add now. Stay Safe beefy 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnWS Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Nice work with the fuzzy stuff, beefy. I took a look at some of my old photos & found 3 taken of an LCAC at speed off the Virginia coast. Unfortunately they're not the best quality, but they do show the shape of the wake behind the craft. Looks like you're nailing it.

beefy66 Posted July 2, 2021 Author Share Posted July 2, 2021 (edited) OK so calling this one done added more fuzzy stuff around the rear of the base after looking at some google images and a closer look at @JohnWS images he has kindly posted as always you come up with the good John. 👍 This is the second out of the box build for me this year the reason for that is just to busy at work with new models also being part of a fantastic team through all this trouble in the world can still build new and innovative things like these but only 725 days to go before I say that is enough. Even Boris said he likes them. Next up will be HMS York I think I am owed some time on this one.
