Mike Grant Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Following Jonathan's reference photos, thought I'd share this build of the Airfix kit from a couple of years ago. It's a fairly crude, toy-like model dating back to the 60s, so needed some additional work. I added the 'noddy cap' to the nose of the missile (fitted during transportation) and quite a few bits to the Land Rover. I don't think it was normal practise to apply squadron markings to the missile but I did find one image showing them.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/Migrant/OnlineFinished/Bloodhound/1024px/BB_04_1024_zpsray63wbv.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/Migrant/OnlineFinished/Bloodhound/1024px/BB_11_1024_zpsejzxzzmr.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/Migrant/OnlineFinished/Bloodhound/1024px/BB_05_1024_zpshlaicuos.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/Migrant/OnlineFinished/Bloodhound/1024px/BB_02_1024_zpselmpkayr.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim James Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I actually still have one of these unbuilt. Your exceptional build motivates me to get it out and get it on the workbench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillMC Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 I wish Airfix would start producing this kit again. I used to have it when I was a youngster during the 1960s. It was in serious 1 at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
