Pete in a shed Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Hello all. Had a bit of a break for various reasons but have got back into it and here is the latest from the shed. I started this 7 months ago but then found I had inadvertently thrown the Instructions away. Only recently I found where I could peruse them in an online shop that shows the contents of kits they have for sale, as a result I’ve managed to finish it. The kit is one of the earlier offerings from Special Hobby so needed a lot of cleaning up before assembly and is OOB other than Crystal Clear windows, toothbrush bristle static wicks and scratch aerials. Its finished entirely with Colour Coats paints sealed with an Xtracolor varnish. The model depicts an aircraft from 4 Sqn. No.61 Telecommunications Training and Test Regiment based at Lechfeld from 1968-1975. Hope you like it. Pete Thanks for looking Pete 68 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canberraman Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 What a glorious Pembroke Pete! Quite rare to see built examples on BM and other modelling sites but you have certainly done it justice, You've reminded me also that I have an SH Pembroke in the RAF 60 sqn scheme to finish, that has been languishing on my shelf of doom for about 10 years Thanks for showing what can be done with a limited run kit.

Doc72 Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Very nice model from a certainly not so easy-to-build kit. BTW the Pembrokes from this unit also had a SIGINT/ELINT-role. This probably adds some further interest to this aircraft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuraiwarrior Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Very nice Pete. The finish is lovely, you have done a great job with this model. Definitely one to be proud of. Kevin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to do the rarer stuff and like you this had been sitting in the stash for a good few years. I look forward to seeing your 60 Sqn. version on here soon?

Always interesting work! Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Border flying certainly yes, but most likely no flights through the Berlin corridors because West German aircraft (civil and military) were not allowed to fly to West Berlin during the Cold War.

ForestFan Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Lovely job, I’ve got this kit in the stash but have heard some people comment that it’s a real pain to put together. Your build proves what a great outcome can be had so I may just have to dig this out….Thanks for showing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Norman Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 I must admit I just clicked the like button after viewing these yesterday but have come back to say what a fab model this turned out to be, Nice to have a different AF on the Frame too. Well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Splendid model. Its a scheme I anned to do if I could ever find another kit. I have built two previously.

I nearly went for the Belgian example as the all white scheme looks very smart. Would like to see your two if you can find the pics. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 A beautiful build! Excellent finish! 👏👏 Hey @Paul J, yours looks great too! I'm sure this kit can't be easy, but you both conquered it with great skill! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
