Darth Vader

Incredible , best do I I've ever seen

Probably the best in shape is the Matchbox but the tank is a bit narrow. Wait till the new Airfix one comes out later this year.

This is the F-111A boxing, all the different kits come with the same sprues just different decals. Yes its got the wrong nozzels,intakes and cockpit but it sure was a great build. So much so Ive got the Raven on order.

HB is in another league It a big kit 19"long 18"wide. The vac canopy just drops in with a little filler at the sides as its a tiny bit too narrow.No build photos sorry. Xtracolor paints lightened with white I sprayed the base color straight on top of the primer to give a good solid color ,then added white to about 70/30 then sprayed random patches( it looks a bit drastic ) then misted over with the base color to blend it all in. Not difficult and after decals a coat of Vallejo matt from a rattle can. Easy really

WOW ! very nice build and a super paint job. Well done

This is the Hobbyboss Ardvark straight out the box with the exceptions Squadron vac canopy,Eduard etch seat belts and cockpit set and bombs and decals donated from Graham+ Dr Evil from Britmodeller 003 by aaron hughes1, on Flickr 005 by aaron hughes1, on Flickr 007 by aaron hughes1, on Flickr 009 by aaron hughes1, on Flickr 010 by aaron hughes1, on Flickr 006 by aaron hughes1, on Flickr 002 by aaron hughes1, on Flickr A great kit to build and a large ,impressive model when finished unfairly rubbished by people that havent built it

bbb 002 by aaron hughes1, on Flickr Just been checking the airframe and touching up and adding bits , here the double glass HUD Im aware the blow in doors only open when the engines are running but I like the look of the doors open so Ive opened them. Not correct but I like them ! Cheers
