Well I’m calling this one done, a nice kit from ACE, a little fiddly at times, but thoroughly enjoyed the build.

In time I may build a 1/72 aeroplane and put it on a base.

Nice one. Something a little different isn’t it. Very squat beastie.

Very different Ian..... And very red!!

That's turned out very well indeed. And not something I have seen done before.

Well done!!

Thanks John, so in your opinion, what's the best aircraft to go with it on a smallish base?

 

[JayCee]

Hi, Ian. Could be anything from the 60's really. Hunter's, Lightning, any of the V bombers., Argosy. Really depends on your base size. If it's smallish as you say then a fighter would probably be best.

Thanks John. I think I have a 1/72 Lightning in the stash. I’ll go take a look.

Nice result that Ian. It will look great next to a Lightning too!

Glad that you got the masking tape off the inside of the cab! Been there done that. lol

Thanks Ian, so am I, but thankfully an easy fix really.

That has turned out really well Ian. A subject I've not seen before. Definitely worth a simple base with a suitable plane.

Now that's a little gem Ian, nice clean build mate.
