Bradley25mm Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 This little gem has been on my build table for some time. Its taken a back seat to other projects. I started this several months ago. For a kit of this size, and detail, the price was amazing. I paid $30.00. I also got a rotor fold kit from Scalewarship Ltd. The one thing that stands out to me is the fit of all the parts. Simply amazing. The clear parts are thin, and crystal clear. Best I've ever seen. Decals look awesome as well. The instructions are a little busy, but very detailed. My ONE and only complaint is the lack of any rivet detail. I have some rivet decals that I MIGHT put on, I'm not sure at this point. I did purchase 3 different sets of Big Ed PE to kick it up a notch. Big Ed even included covers for the directional control petals. I built the base that it will sit on some time ago. I made a stencil for the "H" out of a manila folder. The base consist of 3/4" plywood covered with 100 grit sandpaper. The base was painted with Testors Model Master Enamels. I added oak floor molding to three sides to give it a finished look. The plaques were made by a trophy shop near my home. Took about 3 hours to make the base. I usually build my bases large enough that the model will be protected on all side, if you push it up against a wall. Since the rotors will be in a folded configuration, it won't take up much space in my collection. Thanks for looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Deliduka Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 Wow! Amazing work so far; that P/E set really does enhance this model. Way to go; I love that base too. I gotta try that someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildBill50 Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Lookin good so far. The PE really ups the "WOW" factor. I built the !/48th Airfix kit and had a great experience with that one too. Keep it coming. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
