zipper Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 That looks stunning Mike, well done, just off to read your WIP now as I could be tempted by one. Ashley
Buzby061 Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 Fabulous! The masking on the propeller blades looks a nightmare. Must read the WIP. Pete
Viking Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 That is lovely mike, a superb job. Looks real enough to climb in and start up. I love that colour scheme too ! John

Col. Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 Ooh, very nice, tidy job Mike. Really must get around to reading the WIP thread.
Jelly Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 Cracking build Mike, a first class finish there mate. Thats my allowance spent for next month! May i ask what lighting you use for your snaps? Superb images. Marcus
MS664 Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 Great job Mike! A lovely build of a lovely Kit. Ali makes great kits and is a pleasure to deal with. Michael
Mike Posted June 17, 2011 Author Posted June 17, 2011 May i ask what lighting you use for your snaps? Superb images. The cheapo Maplin eBay Photo Booth, with the 50w GU10 bulbs replaced by some of those new-fangled low wattage (3w) SMD LED lamps.
perdu Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 Mike this is a beautiful model as near an ideal job as I have seen but I am not too keen on the Sky typeS paint can I ask what range of colours you used I don't want to play down though just how good it is, I don't think I could ever handle resin as well as you have here Just that on your build thread someone posted a pic of the real Tucano and the colour was noticeably very like the "real" wartime colour, 'pooter screen vagaries allowed for... (feel bad about asking but don't want to waste pension dosh on colours that don't do it for me...sorry)
pacificmustang Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 lovely job Mike. Ali what a great subject, thanks for getting it done, now if we can have the Sea Baliol in 48 scale please!! Regards Bruce
