Glenn R Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Hi everyone, For months now, I've been building, off and on, my 1/32 I.D./Tigger vac-form Catalina, here is the finished item. As you can see in the last photo, there is a tin of Humbrol paint alongside the model, just to give you an idea of the size of this thing. I was very disappointed to find that an injection kit is coming out in the same scale. That's the joy of vac-form/ scratchbuilt modelling, I suppose. Glenn.

Andrew Jones Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 That's simply stunning, just got to be the equal of any injection moulded kit in any scale, but in 1/32 that's just superb, you should be rightly proud of this one. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Jaw dropping build – and a healthy reminder that the result of persistence, ability and an artistic eye can rival any shake-a-box hi tech kit. Good thing that you finished it in time before the HPH Models kit is launched… ;-) www.themodellingnews.com/2011/09/massive-news-form-hph-models-132.html Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
