Thanks Guys Im Blushing!!!

The engine and formers/framework are all scratchbuilt! as is the firewall etc The tamiya kit had to have extensive surgery to allow it all to fit! The cockpit has a few extra bits but Tamiya provide quite a nice bit of detail already! The piping is made from solder , copper wire and fuse wire! lots of other plastic bits came from plastruct! The plan is she will be on a diorama base with a Mechanic doing some maintanence on the engine. Assorted pipes cables and bits scattered around!

lovely work there nigel, shes a beauty! so did you do those panell lines with just the pre-shade or did you use a post-shade as well in the end?

[Guest]

Nice job Nigel, looking nicely weathered and ready for a few ground crew

She was pre shaded then highlited with modelling chalks and a bit of airbrushing
