mitchem Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Hurtling down Scampton's runway Basically built out of the box (with Eduard etch in the pit) for the local Club competition. Comments welcome - good, bad or indifferent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussTnailZ Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Great build only one fault i can see is the smoke is not coming from the smoke pod but im assuming thats more off an issue with how its displayed. i love the stand you have created its brilliant and its gave me an idea for my reds tiffie build.Did you use modelling clay for the smoke ?

Danuleson Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Great build only one fault i can see is the smoke is not coming from the smoke pod...Russ The smoke doesn't come out from the pod. The mixture is stored in the pod, but the smoke is jettisoned from above the jetpipe. Nice build! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussTnailZ Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Yep i was havin a blonde moment Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchem Posted August 4, 2010 Author Share Posted August 4, 2010 cheers. Couple of larger pics : Russ, The smoke was made by gluing cotton wool around a 4mm aluminium welding rod which was inserted all the way to the rear cockpit bulkhead. It was then painted with Tamiya acryllic white . Fun project which would never have happened if it hadn't of been for the club competition (Those guys are makin' me do funny things !)

Daniel Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 That is very good build, I have one to do and was going to simply mount it on acrylic rod, but now... Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Wow, you have raised the bar with Red Arrows inflight displays. The model and base are excellent. I like the 'shadow' under the aircraft! How did you do the base, some creative spraying? or knocked something up on the computer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilfish Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Yep! As local Scampton resident I'll give it 2 thumbs up lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalkeEins Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 (edited) very nice !.....I wondered why it wasn't going straight up (for viewing top and bottom) ..but you get a much better impression of movement with a stretch of runway in the base of course ..great stuff!

timbo33 Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 (edited) Really nice modelling and nice to see an aircraft 'in it's element' instead of sitting on it's wheels. I'm looking forward to the Party Trick...... Edited August 6, 2010 by timbo33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
