airfixpeter Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 It's only taken me a little over 7 months to finish this build. I don't think I have done a bad job I am pleased with the result but the decals were completely shot and unusable hence why in some of the pics there aren't any as I have only had them delivered today they aren't the correct ones but they do fit. 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Seven month's work. Wow. Shame about the decals but it looks fine otherwise. I salute your perseverance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abat Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 That looks brilliant and very convincing to my eyes. Did you scratch-build any components or use any aftermarket etch or parts? Andrew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adm Lord De Univers Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 7 months very well spent, you've done a fantastic job, esp considering it is oob. Paint is exceptionally crisp too. David 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I can appreciate the builds where a £20 kit has been improved with £70 of after-market, they are not something that I would ever do. So many thanks for presenting another OOB build, I think it looks great, I would be more than happy if that had been my work.
