ScottC Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Hi all Yes thats right after 18 months of on and off work on this beast its finished at last ! This is the Airfix Nimrod with...... Cammett AEW.3 Converstion Set Alley Cat Nimrod Engine Upgrade Set Master Casters Nimrod Wheel Set Model Alliance Nimrod Part IV Decals Model Alliance Nimrod Stencil Data Set Part I And a few small scratch built bits This one nearly didn't make make it as when i was just adding the last of the stencils on it a few days ago i dropped it !!!!!!! both tailplanes were smashed off and the bomb bay doors cracked open. i may try to repair the obvious bits at a later stage but with the model been so far advanced i didnt want to mess it up so i have left it for now. So enough waffeling on here's the pics So there we have it boys and girls, what do ya think Scott C 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
