Radders Posted October 17, 2015 Author Share Posted October 17, 2015 (edited) Hi guys, sorry for not posting much.. Been quite busy, got side tracked etc and I'm suffering with chronic back pain (have been for years but it's got worse over the last year!) and it's taking it's toll, as is the medication... But I'm OK otherwise It's getting done for Scale Model World in a few weeks and this is where it's at now.. few minor touch ups in places needed around the cockpit, undercarriage to be painted, wheels to fit, props to fit, some last glazing bits, ariels and then it should be as good as done. There is a white & red stripe decal for the top but if you know Amodel decals you will know how much fun I had *trying* to get it over that lovely curve / bump around the top wing root... sadly it didn't happen and the decals munched up into a million pieces... So once SMW is out the way, I will mask it off and paint it. Thanks for checking in...

Guest Peterpools Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Radders So sorry to hear you back pains have taken a turn for the worse. Anyone who suffers, surely knows your pain. The Be-12P is simply a gem and absolutely wonderfully done. There always seems to be something in a build that never goes according to plan. Keep 'em coming Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 As Peter has said, sorry for the back issues. She looks amazing !........Harv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mywifehatesmodels Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Fantastic work on a very unique subject that you just never see modeled. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClumsyDude Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Wow Radders, that's some really brilliant work in 1/144. Don't think I've ever seen such a convincing scale effect in that scale, usually it's trenchy panel lines and paint that's off in one way or another. Hope your back gets better, back pain is a horrible thing. Cheers Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Wow, that looks brilliant Radders! Surely you have time to mask and paint the top section before Telford? Wishing you a speedy recovery with your back, too. Kev Girlscanplay2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvrobeson Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 That's a cool looking plane. Don't know what it is about Cold War Russian aircraft, but their super utilitarian look is just so cool Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radders Posted November 5, 2015 Author Share Posted November 5, 2015 Wow, that looks brilliant Radders! Surely you have time to mask and paint the top section before Telford? Wishing you a speedy recovery with your back, too. Kev Sadly not, I'm in agony Kev, I have tried masking it but it's so fiddley I can't get my head around it....! I think after SMW I'm going to re-do it anyway as a Ukraine Navy version... as I'd need to buy a new kit for the replacement decals.. Amodel don't seem to send stuff out... Thanks everyone for the replies though re:my back (I've got a 3 week intense physiotherapy session coming up which should help! Here's hoping anyway LOL) I can now say it's done.... If anyone here is at Scale Model World at the weekend it'll be on the 580 Modellers Club stand Thanks for looking Amodel 1/144th Be-12P RA-00073 by Radleigh Bushell, on Flickr Amodel 1/144th Be-12P RA-00073 by Radleigh Bushell, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Well, that's turned out brilliantly well, mate! Sorry to hear that your back is still not good. If I were you, though, I'd just leave this, and either call it done as is, or come back to it when your back allows, and finish the missing bits. I think it looks too nice as it is to refinish it. Great work! And have fun at Telford. Don't forget to drop in on Iain and the guys as the 32SIG/LSP stand. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgem37 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Really nice. Striking scheme. I like the turbo exhaust on the tailbone. And the different color values. Nice details. Good show! Sincerely, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Me too! Love it! It really does look wonderfully realistic, especially for 1/144th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
