discussion Completed.....Spanner's 1/48 Hobbyboss TBD-1 Devastator

[spanner570]

Great kit, well recommended.
All brush painted using Humbrol acrylic 'Diddy Plastic Pots
The decals bedded in well considering the corrugated wings.
Slightly let down by the absence of a crew....They are available, but at a daft price!

Here are the final photos of the build.
Thanks to all who commented along the way.

It seems a bit strange to have a completed section for our models. It sort of spoils the flow of the build. Not to mention almost repeating some pictures. I've also noticed that 'Completed' doesn't get the anywhere near the same attention as the actual buiid either.

Anyhoo, that's the way it's to be. No worries mate!

Thanks again to the good folks who took time out to comment during the actual build.

Cheers.

A great result Ron. Very colourful. Clever having wings folded and unfolded.
Like you I reckon pictures of a completed build would be better placed at the end of a build thread. However it would be awkward for people who don't do a build thread but just want to share the end results.

Nothing new about it at all it has been like that for years.

A very nice result Ron. You works are a testament to those that wave the hairy stick over a model and transform them into a magic wand that defies normal rules.

If you did not say it was brush painted I dont thing people would notice.
Great work and a very colourful aircraft.

A splendid result old boy. And a very nice colourful addition to the shelf.

Lovely model dear boy.

Super addition to the shelf I reckon!

 

[spanner570]

What great comments boys. Thank you. All very well received!

Shelf? Fat chance chaps.
With no one having any interest in my model making where my family and friends are concerned, this model( along with the rest) will end up in a box in my loft ready for a skip when my sons sort out the 'Estate'.

Mind you, I don't display any of my builds, so up in the dark depths it would go anyway.....

Thanks again for the great posts.
