This is my kit for the paint it black GB

Nice one, I may have something very similar for my own PIB GB..... 8-)

[PaulTRose]

This should be nice in this scale

[Mr Bowcat]

In for the build.

I did also consider doing this, but I swore never to touch a Revell kit again.

[Geoffers]

Good choice Ian, looking forward to seeing how you tackle it 👍

Geoff.

I’ve started this, got the seat and cockpit built up, was going to start on the wheel well and bomb bay because they are all white, and to my surprise there’s no bomb bay in the box. So it looks like I’m having to build it in flight.

Nice one Ian, good luck with the build

[papa 695]

The build so far.

[Geoffers]

Coming along very nicely Ian 👍

Its a very unusual looking aircraft, it doesn’t look like it should be able to fly.

Geoff.

[Mr Bowcat]

Looks good Ian. A few gaps then?

[papa 695]

Just a few

[Jim R]

Good choice for the GB. Very futuristic looking. Nice progress.

[papa 695]

Cheers Jim.

Nice one Ian , I did this one years back in a Monogram boxing I think. I seem to remember the bomb bay was moulded closed on mine , Revell must have modified the tooling when they reboxed it. It makes a big model in this scale , its surprising how big the actual aircraft was . Cheers tony

Nice work Ian. Is it any wonder there are so many UFO stories 'flying' around with these things in the air.

[HAWKERHUNTER]

Great looking aircraft Ian, nice progress.
