Blue Monday Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Congratulations on a truly brilliant model. Your B-2 is easily the finest model I have seen in a long, long time. There is little doubt it will clean up at Telford! What's next to get "The Treatment" on your work bench? BM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiwiSteve Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 What everyone else said Skii, after seeing her take shape over the last little while the extra effort was well worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skii Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 You lot make a grown man blush thankyou for the very positive feedback, nice to get a pat on the back after all that sanding, glueing and many hours of painting! Adrian the model is actually only just longer than an equivalent scale F-15, about 29 cms long, however the wingspan is immense - 72 cms, large enough not to fit through a standard size doorway without turning it sideways (which I discovered to my cost one day..) Heightwise there are no vertical control surfaces so the refuelling receptacle stands only 8cm high. cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smuts Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 best B2 I've ever seen by miles. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brooksy Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 John, that is simply outstanding work, and looks every bit like the real aircraft. A beautiful model from a very talented and modest man! Regards Andy p.s. my entire stash is now for sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arie Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I'm flabbergasted...it's fantastic! With those atrociously large wing(?) joints that is one ugly project to pull off, you've really done it! Love the patchy paintwork on the uppers...simply beautiful mate!

dr_gn Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Beautiful job Skii It would look great somehow mounted vertically on a clear perspex board - real shame to hide all the exquisite detail on the underside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Oops! Just noticed I've not added my praise to this one... soz! It's a lovely job John... and I shall be copying the paintjob shamelessly when I get round to my little 1:144 one in due course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcon Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 (edited) Well I saw this one today in the flesh and I have to say WOW. That is one cool build. I managed to pick up one of these kits this weekend and also picked up the Revell 1/72 ATB. I hope to build both of these kits up for next years SMW. I will be over the moon if I can make mine look half as good as your build. Edited November 8, 2009 by falcon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
