Snowbird3a Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 (edited) you can get more details on the 'WIP' thread, however, here it is, finished. A couple minor inaccuracies and a dozen self-induced construction faults all due to my 'out of practice' skills. Time to do an out-of-the-box build to get away from Aftermarket Abuse Syndrome Anyway, major changes to the kit were a Scobie-Do wing, a Monogram nose gear fork, True Details wheels, a Wayne Hui mastered CT114 seat, and a rebuild of the area under the rear canopy using some Verlinden bits, and High Planes scoops and vents. Decals were by Specialty Jets/Mike Grant and the gold colour is a mix of Testors square bottle Gold and Gloss Yellow. Trim is Bare Metal foil and RubnBuff. Might try to take some outdoors natural light photos today Enjoy, tony Edited July 3, 2015 by Snowbird3a Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Joel_W Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Tony, Just a rock solid build with an absolutely stunning paint scheme. Certainly what one would call an eye catcher. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crackerjazz Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Beautiful, Tony! I've seen the bird up close -- albeit in a museum : ) But it's a sight to behold, just like your model! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Emvar Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Excellent build...I kick myself for not picking up the Scooby-Doo wings when I had the chance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
