Popular Post Phoenix673 Posted July 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2022 Straightforward build out of the box with just a few tweaks to the cockpit and the addition of windscreen wipers. Painted with Tamiya XF's and weathered with oils and pastels. 82 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jo NZ Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 It just screams out "20,000 rivets flying in close formation". Great build! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busnproplinerfan Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Looks good. What are the other flags next to the waist roundels for? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev67 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Very nice indeed, I have one of these in my stash, it is a shame that Airfix did not add the same level of detail with the rivets as Revell's Shackleton as the Airfix kit is the more accurate but less detailed of the two 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks busnproplinerfan! The bars either side of the roundels are squadron identification bars (No 8 Squadron) from their earlier days of flying fighters 2 minutes ago, AntPhillips said: Love it, you've done a pretty grand job, one super looking Shackleton 👍 Many thanks AntPhillips, much appreciated! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza l Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Very nicely done. I prefer the Revell over the Airfix kit, when subtly weathered, like yours, those rivets just pop. gazza l 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starfighter Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Absolutely love it ! The very subtle weathering on the upper wings is beautifully done, and your model is a fitting tribute to a grand old lady 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulaero Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 That's a very nice build and looks very realistic. The Revell Kit defiantly beats the Airfix for details as the rivet detail is so important to a Shack ...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
