Thanks for this Chuck E. It does look very nice.

It looks like a nice kit, but it will take days to add all the rivets like the frog kit

[Gregers]

It is a great kit. It also has the parts to make an MR3 phase 3 Shackleton. That is the one with two Viper gas turbine engines as well as the four Griffons.

All the best

Progress so far. Tomorrow, masking and painting.


I may leave the wings off to make it easier to store.

That does look good.

A Shackleton with wing fold I like it

[Early Bird Fan]

that does look a good kit and you're making great progress with it, look forward to seeing it in paint

Finally got around to photographing the almost finished model. I couldn't find any of my build photos.

The full set of what I have is here . . . . https://www.flickr.com/photos/23594891@ ... 2518128108;

That looks really good, I have Revells AEW2 in the stash, I will surely be getting this to go with it.
Cheers Howard

Nice Shagbat! Is it a 4 turning, 2 burning version?

[Early Bird Fan]

well that's come out rather well

[Gregers]

Looking at the outer engines it is indeed an MR3 phase 3.
Great build. Looking forward to building mine. Will be doing it as the one at Newark as I have worked on that one.

All the best

Yep, it has jets under the wig. No problem with the build, but as you can see, I have lost a cannon barrel and the little aerial from one wing.

This model has a lot of lead and steel weights, but still won't stand up. I put more weight in than asked for. It now has a prop and steps. You may need to get inventive to stop a tail sitting issue.

I did the old Modelcraft MR.3, but unhelpfully I can't recall how I got it to sit on it's nose wheel!!!
