tigger Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 HI Guys Here she finally is after nearly a year of battling her. I finally finished the model for an article in MAi in the future with luck. I used most of the available resin and detail sets that were available at the time of the build. Hope you like her?? John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Najk Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Now THAT's an ugly looking aeroplane! But still, you've done a great job on her, I like the subtle weathering! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pirata Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Great work! It looks real. I gotta wonder what the visibility was over that schnoz. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Isaac Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Beautiful build as always John! I'm looking forward to that MAI issue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tigger Posted May 30, 2010 Author Share Posted May 30, 2010 HI Guys As this is a magazine build I try to not show much of the model before the article is in print. This way I am not upsetting the subscribers of the magazine, who, after all want to see the model but not see it again after it has been all over the web. For that reason I will keep it to one photo. Hope this explains it well enough? Once it has been in print I usually put up some more pictures but this might be a while before she is published. John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kev67 Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Hi Was this at the Devon model show at Newton Abbot, its a stunning build, very well executed, the radar on the Nimrod was what my dad was working on before they cancelled the project when he worked at EMI Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Icehound Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Impressive looking Nimrod John.The big AEW3 nose certainly gave the Nimrod a different look from the regular Nimrods. I look forwards to the article in MAI. Regards Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spruemeister Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 That is seriously good looking. Model kit. I mean. Airframe is one of the ugliest things to ever fly. Thanks for the photos! Rick L. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
