Skyking Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Welcome back Pierre, I am glad to see you are getting back on your feet after one of life's high and inside curve-balls. I will be following this one. The T4M I am building was often referred to as America's version of the Swordfish, so it'll be nice to have both airplanes side by side to compare them.

Thanks I am using my "old" bridge camera: Nikon Coolpix 5000, on a tripod. Slow trigger, but works like a charm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFlyingDutchman Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Very nice, as usual! In which markings will you finish him? RAF? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scalephantomphixer Posted June 6, 2007 Author Share Posted June 6, 2007 Yes, it will be a silver RAF paint scheme. Next step is the gun: I cut the barrel to replace it with an etched coil, a brass tube and a PE ammo box. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
