Mattie Bee Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 Well from the location of this post I did it. So without anymore stalling here she is Oh and she met her real counterpart
brooksy Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 Absolutely wonderful Mattie . It's a real nice touch seeing her next to the real one. A most enjoyable build to follow, and one I'm sure that will spur on many Nimrod builders. I have one in the loft, but don't have the time or the guts to open it up yet. Brilliant stuff mate, Regards Andy
goon Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 Nice! Love the real life comparison shots. That's when you can see what a great job you did!
AnonymousA667 Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 Simply outstanding - been following the build with great interest. Bravo, bravo! peebeep
eng Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 Beautiful, Matt, a really stunning model and not many of us can put our finished works beside the real thing - fantastic all round! Eng
AndyPeacock Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 WOW! I've been following this one for a while. I knew it was going to be good, but this is beyond all expectations. Cracking work! Andy
Obi-Jiff Kenobi Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 She's a cracker. And to quote John Cleese: "I've never seen so many bleedin' aerials!"
Daniel Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 Matt, I have followed you in progress, great to see it. Will it be viewable at the Waddington show? Dan
I_M_Weasel Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 I wonder how much that 1:1 kit in the background is? Very nice work.
Vultures1 Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 Great work! Looks fantastic next to the real thing Chris
goon Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 And to quote John Cleese: "I've never seen so many bleedin' aerials!" I genuinely laughed out loud at that!
Mattie Bee Posted May 16, 2009 Author Posted May 16, 2009 Thank you for the comments guys. She has been a lot of hard work but we got there in the end. I am happy with the out come especially the cockpit windows Will it be viewable at the Waddington show? Yes she will, On the 51 Sqn Display in No 3 Hangar
Richard E Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 (edited) Excellent model backed up by one of the most informative in progress threads I've read. One thought: Would it be possible pin a version of the in progress thread somewhere? Richard Edited May 16, 2009 by Richard E
