canberrasig Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Hi all this is my first post on the forum proper, if you've seen my fist post saying hello you'll know I quite like Canberra's but that's not my only passion. I also have a big interest in Meteorological research Aircraft and R&D types in general. This is my most resent it's a NOAA WP.2D Orion built using the Revell boxing of the old but rather good Hasegawa kit. I did all the mod's myself using milliput and other bit's and bob's, the markings are home made too, on the PC. I hope you like it. :) And all my NOAA fleat so far, the next on will be the Gulfstream IV John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghodges Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 You're obviously a man with some serious skills! I particularly like that P-3, though I'll do mine in god ol' white and gray USN. GIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobPauly Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Nice Orion build! That 130 looks too much like a mosquito for my taste, tho...:D Interesting choice of subject matter - nice to see something different, and you do them justice!

canberrasig Posted July 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Thanks again chaps, I'm glad you're liking them, Mosquito! Bob, you're right, it doesn't half ting if you prick yourself! I know from experience :) Now I know I said I wouldn't post any more photo's but while we're on a role I thought I'd stick these two in for your perusal. The first one is the 1/72 scale Matchbox twin Otter as flown by NASA I'll be building the NOAA one at some point. As with all the others all home made markings and Mod's Last one The Mach2 RB.57F done as one of the two WB.57F's flown by NASA. I've added the Space Shuttle tracking camera nose. Ones again thank you for your kind indulgence! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonL Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Outstanding! More superb stuff. Was the shuttle/nose an aftermarket thing, or did you scratch that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canberrasig Posted July 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 (edited) Hi VonL Yes it's another one of my home made mod's I can't remember now what I used exactly, but it was a drop tank from a 1/48 scale kit, Hunter or F.18? the ball for the camera turret was a chrome bead from a craft shop, I needed something with a mirror finish and the indispensable milliput! I just masked of a circle painted every thing black then added a grey coloured spot in the centre.
