ghodges Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 The title says it all! Glad to have this one on the shelf at last. It's the ID vacuform 1/48 kit, which is basically just the airframe. The full build can be seen in the thread below. That's the first 6 of 18 pics....

ghodges Posted November 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 (edited) And the final pics... I'll freely admit that the model looks better in the pics than on the table, but I think I accomplished my basic goals, so I'm happy! Comments, questions, and critiques welcome! Now on to some MUCH simpler builds....... GIL Edited November 30, 2012 by ghodges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildBill50 Posted December 1, 2012 Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 THAT is one nice ORION!!! Fantastic job, Gil. You built an entire aircraft and I'm still wallowing on putting a new nose on a Voodoo. I applaud your persistance. This gives me incentive to finish my build now.

wdedig Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Gil... That is one fine looking Project..I describe Vacforms as Projects because I envy those who have the skills to accomplish them. You have accomplished with a flourish..VERY NICE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamsof51 Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Someday I'll actually finish one of those vacu kits. Thus far I've been beaten twice. I salute you Gil for sticking to it and producing a very fine model. Thanks also for taking us along through the build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Deliduka Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Gil, I am stunned into speechlessness, especially after having followed the build thread thoroughly. That is one of the most incredible models I've seen yet. Way to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
