Lovely paint work Tom.

Turns out to be fake in part, the 'Brass' had not arrived when this was going on. There was some creative editing by our National broadcaster (ABC) that got them in hot water over this report.

Wow, that detail is microscopic Si, it looks so awesome!

1/72 Welsh Models P-8A Poseidon in the markings of A47-007 of 11SQN, RAAF complete. The build consisted of scratch building the weapons bay, weapons mounting points on the wings and pylons, many of the ESM and AMS lumps and antennas. I also added various vent blow in doors and the sonobuoy tubes. I reshaped a lot of the kit supplied parts as well. Finally I added AGM-84 Harpoons from a Hasegawa weapons set and Mk48 Torpedoes from a Hasegawa P-3C Orion, they looked close enough to me to replicate the Mk54s the P-8 carries. Decals were from a custom sheet DekLs created by upsizing their 1/200 sh

Great job Thommo

Great job

If you prime with Tamiya White Primer then all you have to do gloss over it to get your white, my usual method. For your red, just build up what ever colour you end up with in light coats and finally I usually put a gloss black under any large areas of a metallic finish.

Nicely done Roy, it looks great from here 🏆 I have a couple of these and an AMT kit to build. Just trying to figure out schemes for them.

Nice work so far Thommo

There is talk by BPK to do a Poseidon but nothing of the E-7A Wedgetail, they'd have to tool up a -700 fuselage for that. I think they are busy with the 777 at the moment. I also recall they were doing an A320 but not much word on that recently. BTW I have my -800 as well. Need to get a lot of other bench stuff out of the way before I even think about starting it.

Great!

Very interested!

Nice progress Brother Dutch

Very noice Zac!

Oh very nice!
