International Scale Modeller

Hi guys, all done with this beast!

I've really enjoyed this build, no problems to think of. Only slight problem was with the incorrect shaped missile pylons and no gun sight provided.
The decals were the main downfall of the kit, no weapons decals provided, some decals too big or out of register, and some airframe decals not provided. Also, no decal placement instructions for the various open bays.

For a £60 kit, it's sad that it's let down by such small details. Other than that, it's a great kit, with great detail, and goes together really well.

Anyway, on with the pics.

Tried getting one of the cockpit, but didn't work, lol!




















Im twiddling my thumbs now, wondering what to do before the new GBs start next year, lol!

Thanks again for you kind comments along the way!

She's a stunner Chief.

Oh you little beauty.

You did a really fine job on that sir.

Damn, that is sweet!

Absolutely awesome Chief, like your other builds this is a masterpiece, the photographs are superb, very nice indeed

However the frozen lake base is unsafe and completely unrealistic.

Great build !! she looks NICE !!!! paint and weathering are perfect !

Great job

Beautiful job!

In the same style as the build thread and the various sub assmblies, this final reveal is top notch cheif! I'm still stunned by the level of detail you put in to this build, that model is going to be a stunning hangar queen!

That looks mint Chief. Cant see a single thing I don't love about it.

Awesome job! An acurate and detailed model... Perfect!!!

Fantastic work, love it. What kit is it?

Blue ribbon work there, Chief, you must be well pleased with that effort

Just bloody brilliant! Workhorse of the US Navy for many years. Aka - the Man-eater for sucking so many into its intake under the cockpit.
