Popular Post cardiff guy Posted November 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 11, 2022 Hi All This kit was finished back at the end of the summer.

Mr T Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 A very nice build of the Nimrod. Pictured next to the Tornado and Jaguar, it shows how well 1/72nd scale works across a range of aircraft sizes. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Lovely Nimrod, looks wonderful and great on the base with the other aircraft too. Very impressive. Great work Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samuraiwarrior Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Very nice job. Well presented in the pictures, you can get a real sense of the size of the Nimrod when compared to other types. Thanks for sharing Kevin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackroadkill Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Oh yes, I like that a lot. A very sleek looking airframe indeed, and you've done a far better job that I ever could of bringing it to life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toe Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Good job, looks just right and the base is inspired, looks so right and can see it'd be easy to fool us that it's a real situation but as you say photography of it isn't the easiest! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard S Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Really nice, super job all very subtle and not over cooked. Thanks for showing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plasticbasher Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Fantastic Nimrod! Coincidentally I picked up this kit at Telford yesterday on impulse and it’s currently getting some attention on the workbench. You’ve set the bar high and I’d be happy to get anywhere near that finish. Any issues with the build itself? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coincidentally I picked up this kit at Telford yesterday on impulse and it’s currently getting some attention on the workbench. You’ve set the bar high and I’d be happy to get anywhere near that finish. Any issues with the build itself? It's a fairly straight forward build and the fit of parts is generally good. There are many inaccuracies with the kit and there is a lot of aftermarket things to put them right so knock your socks off. For me I replaced the canopy with the Ali cat resin Job this is lovely and also gives you a nice solution to the slightly raised area around it, really wish I could find another. I moved the nose light up, drilled out where the sonabouy tubes are and added plastic tube. and drilled out the small grill between the engine intake and replaced it with plastic card. I opted to close the weapons bay as the kits is poorly detailed rather than spend more money on a replacement or spend time on detailing it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
