discussion 1/72 Airfix Shorts Stirling Build

[AlanG]

Just came across this stunning build of the old 1/72 Airfix Stirling kit. What this person has done is nothing short of amazing. Sorry the text is in Italian but i just had to share it for the pictures alone

That's just astounding. Such a level of detail in that small scale.

I haven't read all the text, but with my shaky Italian i understand that he used the engines from a Hasegawa Beaufighter, as the Airfix ones were rubbish.

I can't build anything like this, but it does make me want to try just a bit harder on my next build !

I don't know who he is, but I love and hate him in equal measure !!! At least it gives me something to aim for....

Thanks for sharing

I guess this shows that each kit is a blank canvas and it's up to us to do what we want with it. That Stirling is amazing. The Stuka is insanely incredible.

Even with extreme magnifyers I would struggle to get my eyes brain and fingers in sync to complete that kind of work...Love his use of the thin bits of lego for dials...
