I like it.

Cheers, guys - though this isn't a kit I'd recommend, TBH. Not one of Airfix's best.

You might not be able to rcommend it Paul but you've done a fantastic job of whipping it into shape

Really great work. I'm halfway through my build of this model so I can appreciate the quality of your finish.

[PaulBradley]

Cheers, guys - you flatter me!

Well, here she is finished:



By no means an Airfix gem, it could really do with being retired. Nevertheless, we learn something from every model we build - this one was a lesson in patience.

Looks great

Pretty good considering what you started with. With the lack of surface detail it reminds me of some wooden models I have seen.

[PaulBradley]

Cheers, James. I know - looks too toy-like, doesn't it? Should have re-scribed more, but then I didn't add a panel line wash either - the lines that I did add are very fine. Nevertheless, a useful re-learning experience, for when I start to do proper projects again in the New Year.

Looks good Paul. I did mine in a waterline. When I first joined the forum. Yes, it tasked me, it tasked me.

You done good.

It was worth the fight Paul, great finish!

[PaulBradley]

Cheers, guys.

[VickersVandal]

You fought it and won! Great job!
Looking at the amount of filler and sanding reminds me of building the Airfix DH Comet

Good job, Paul !!

You could always claim you saved a tree by replicating a carved wood model in styrene .... nah, probably wouldn't fly

[PaulBradley]

It almost "flew" a few times during construction!!

Cheers, guys.

Very neatly done.
