Mike Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 After much ado, here are the first of the finished pics for this beast: Snow? Dandruff? Neither - sanding dust from an as yet undisclosed project I'll edit this post to add a few more once I've converted them. Ooh, and build thread here if anyone's got an afternoon to kill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copey Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 when I saw the first pic I thought it was a HARRIER Ace build Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousER99 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 excellent Mikey!! Now whats the "secret" project?? You know you want to tell everyone....other than me of course!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Kunac-Tabinor Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Mike - shes a beaut - and about time too!! I like your treatment of the white underside - hard to make white look used and dirty without losing the whiteness - but that looks the biz. So, next finished one in 2010 then ? Cheers Jonners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Nicely done Mike, not too familiar with Dynavector, is this a mutli media kit? Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perry Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Well Mikey, bunsen burner powered things with wings aren't really my cup of tea but, vacs are and you've made an excellent job of this! Respect!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius at Home Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Simply stunning. Excellent stuff!!! You should be rightly very pleased with this one Mike. Darius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dswoofie Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Well done, I really like that... apart from the scale snow in the first shot The weathering treatment on the underside looks great. Hard to think that it's all come from a vacform, just goes to show that it can be done, and well. Nice to see it finally finished Karl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kstater94 Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Wow Mike Incredible! I've always loved the lines of the Scimitar Cheers! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 Thanks for the kind words folks I might take a few more today & edit my original post again... I'm still thinking about repainting the grey on the underside leading edges though, in case the purists were wondering. Nicely done Mike, not too familiar with Dynavector, is this a mutli media kit?Ray Yes Ray, it's a Mutley media kit Main parts are vacform, but the wheels & such are white metal. There's a rudimentary cockpit made of both mediums, but the seat is hopelessly over-simplified, and it needs a little work to get nearer the real thing. Have a look in the first few pages of my build thread for further info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 Very nice.The Scimitar is a lovely aeroplane. Thanks... it's really grown on me since I started building it... so much so that I'm seriously considering seeing if Taro has another in his stock so I can build another one at some point. Very tempted to build one with all the airbrakes, flaps & slats deployed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

general melchett Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Blimey he's finished it !!!!!!thought I'd never live to see it Superb build Mike, I see what you mean about the subtle shading , you certainly do the beautiful lines of the old girl justice. I'm seriously considering seeing if Taro has another in his stock so I can build another one at some point. Very tempted to build one with all the airbrakes, flaps & slats deployed Oh my lord another 20 page post coming up... Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
