Van Buren Boys Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Greetings! I just wrapped up this nice 1/144 kit from Trumpeter.  Mostly OOB, but with some modifications called out below.   Box art: The aircraft like it was on the box art (much different background of course 😉). Base was from from Coastal Kits (https://www.coastalkits.co.uk/newstore/)   Ladder was scratch-built from styrene strips: Engine covers were drawn in PowerPoint, printed on photo paper, cut out, and placed inside the engine nacelles:    Wires were added as was the centerline pod forward of the white dome on the bottom:  Overall very pleased with the kit itself, no major challenges and also very pleased with the display base.  Happy to answer any questions.

Loach Driver Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Very sharp work for 1/144. Looks like a 1/72 scale model. Â LD. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
