ajaycad Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 (edited) This will be the last Ready for Inspection that I post for a while, at least until my Me 262 is finished (see work in progress) This was one of my first builds after returning to modelling around a couple of years ago. This was painted using Vallejo acrylics, and Eduard provided the additional etch detail. I used Mastercasters resin wheels and exhaust stacks, and can recommend their products. The kit went together pretty well, although I did have a few issues with the fit of the engine covers around the nacelles but with a bit of patience and modification, everything was good. Andy Thanks for looking. Edited February 4, 2013 by ajaycad Uncarina, Girlscanplay2, andromeda673 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Kevin Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Another superb build Andy. I can't believe how many you've pumped out in a year or so, and to such a high level! Kev Girlscanplay2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarryWilliams Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 That is a real beauty. Looking forward to doing the one in my stash. Are the instructions as bad as they say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SinuheH Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Andy, just stop it please - and tell us how you can manage to build so many superb models in such a short time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajaycad Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 SinuheH, The advantages of shift work and too little sleep I guess gives me the time to produce so many models. Whilst the better half is at work, and I'm on a rest day, what better pastime is there. I only build when I'm at home alone, Its one of my self made rules. To be fair, thinking back, its probably been a couple of years since I re-invigorated the hobby. It all started when my brother asked me to build Tamiya's 1/32 F-14 Tomcat and it snowballed from there. Barry, If I recall the instructions didn't stand out as being bad, I'm sure they were fine. I recently built the Airfix 1/48 Lynx HMa8 - you really have to pre-read the instructions for that kit to ensure you build the right version with the right equipment.

Bill Cross Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 VERY nice. Good, subdued weathering. Doesn't look like a plastic kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Thanks for looking. Very nicely painted. this kit is just about the only 1/32 kit that that I have that doesn't need correcting in my view. did you use the kit cockpit? - I'm guessing you did? super job Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
