discussion Pete's Humbrol Tempest

[stillp]

Finished at last! A really nice kit, I think originally tooled by Heller. Cost me just £6 at the Coventry show a few years back.Everything fitted but some attachment points a bit weak. Fuselage halves fitted together really well for a change. Finished as Pierre Closterman's aircraft.
The 'base' it's on was in an "everything 50p" basket outside a charity shop last year. Rather creased, I might ask SWMBO to iron it.

A very nice clean and tidy finish Pete.

 

[Darian Frey]

Nice - I built that kit a while back and really enjoyed it.

 

[stillp]

It's a good kit isn't it. I wish I could've made a better job of it.

Blame it on a poor groundsman or terrible council.

That came out very well for such an old kit. Great job. Is it my screen, or could the landing gear have port and stbd mixed up ? I just noticed the legs are leaning backwards, which is a bit unusual.

 

[stillp]

I'm pretty certain I didn't mix them up Colin but they did (separately) get broken off so I might have got the angle wrong when I reattached them.
