tigger Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 OK Guys here is the finished article for your inspection. Hope you like her?? For the record it is XS458 of 5 sqn but used by 11 sqn at RAF Akrotiri in 1980. I have managed to get her done in just over a wek and a bit ready in time for Telford. Wish me luck?

DMunne Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Only one word.....AMAZING! I simply can't believe it only took you a week to build this beauty. I've been working on the cockpit of my F/A-18 for two weeks and only just now put the first coat of paint on it! My hat's off to you sir, you have a winner there! Sincerely, Crash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanH Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Damn John what a nice job. You have inspired me. There is really no reason it should take me so long to do a model if you were able to do this one so quickly and have it look so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
