Nimrod 1/72 Airfix

Post by lambretta »

Hello evrybody, I would like to take part at the Falklands campaign, but I didn't decide yet which airplane I will do.. :grin:

I'm beginning this campaign contemporary on the italian web site Modellismo alla Buona for the 30 years of the Falklands War.
I let you see how I paint the cabin.. I hope you enjoy it! :grin:

I add just a trumpet! :razz:

The internals of the airfix kit seems poor to me, so I think about this nice way to do it better! Just for joke!
The second room, infact, it's about Sherlok Holmes style! :grin:
ciao see you soon

looking at the equipment fitted in this Nimrod you can see why they were phased out of service. :-D

I will enjoy watching this build.

It's easy to fit even its size. Infact, I put a clip on the wings.

Oh, yes we got the joke alright! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Be careful with that trichlorethylene, the fumes are nasty, and you should really only handle it in a well ventilated area, preferably with a mask. Technically, you are not supposed to put it down the sink - it can do very nasty things if your plumbing pipes are plastic :shock:

Where are the crew, Sherlock, Mycroft and Watson? :ha:

cheers

I live in Rome and, sometimes, is better the trichlorethylene than the dumping gas of the cars!!!

Trichloroethane is pretty dangerous stuff. I had trichloroethane poisoning some years ago and was very, very ill through it so please take great care using it. In the UK it's now banned in industrial use because of the dangers associated with it.

On a brighter note, great model, hilarious interior detail.

Wherever there's danger, wherever there's trouble, wherever there's important work to be done....I'll be somewhere else building a model!
