    Revell's 'New Tool' Avro Shackleton MR.3 - certainly makes up for the 'Short comings' of it's ex-Frog tooled predecessor, but is still as riveting  😉

    Nice work James. You must have a big display cabinet for three of them with more on the way!

    There is another...

    'Return of the Shack' the Next Big Build - Shackleton AEW.2

    in Aircraft

    Posted

    Looking good! And it'll be nice to see them parked side to side. 

     

    Oh @T2B I'm going to tease you first..

    /media/tinymce_upload/15539c4be40c46b54c4f2b9d29bac236.jpg

     

    It's a good kit, just let down with decals that need Tamiya X-20A to get them to sit properly - I will build another (I want to do an earlier MR.3), along with another Airfix MR.2.

     

    Meantime I've kept @T2B waiting long enough..

    'Return of the Shack' the Next Big Build - Shackleton AEW.2

    Posted

    Nearly time for the final comparison between the Revell & Airfix Shackletons...

     

    /media/tinymce_upload/41a9c2df15392d6867c8498fea1a0b58.jpg

     

    One sticking point, Revell's doesn't come with the latter style prop tip decals - you have to paint them (red and white, oh my).

     

    Fortunately for those who remember her Airfix sister MR.2 build - I didn't use all the decals..

     

    /media/tinymce_upload/1f8b0e0f9eb3c1fe6b7395d45e57b8c3.jpg

     

    So does this make her a Revell/Eduard/Airfix Hybrid?

    First go with my airbrush/media/tinymce_upload/910dfc79e298acd1deb7304fb72ba808.JPG

    Careful one Bulleid Light Pacific leads to another - then you'll have all 110..

     

    Super work!

    Thank you James - not sure about the other 110 - but I'm certainly thinking of getting another Dapol kit - - Schools Class or Evening Star???

    I've done the entire BofB/WC class from Hornby donor's - here's one I renamed earlier..

    /media/tinymce_upload/9a2be9b38f9226a351fd893e1acf6b66.jpg

    The Dapol kits have a plotted history (they were Airfix kits at one point), I'd go for the Schools Class next  😉

    Hot off the workbench and from the cold of the East - more Russian Armour and it's not green!

     

    Another of Tamiya's 1/48th Scale Military Minature Series - the Su122 Russian Tank Killer in Winter Camo..

    My first attempt at Winter Camo - I did paint it green underneath (honest).

    Be brave, be bold and yes clamps & mole grips will be required  😉

    But she turned out alright in the end..

    @ james_mower

     

    I don't know how you manage 3 or more builds on the go at once, but that MR.3 is looking good, think I need to get 1

     

    It's easy having three kits on the go at once, but it's all the railway commissions that get in the way  😉

     

    With this modern glues (Tamiya Extra Thin etc), I've learn't before paint, let the plane kits have adequate drying time - a few weeks in some cases, as what seems like a perfect invisible seam can be a canyon in a weeks time, hence I appear to have a few kits on the go at once.

     

    The Revell Shackleton is a nice kit, but all that rivet detail makes it a pain to get the decals sitting down ( I had to use X-20A in the end).

    Spoiler - she's no tail sitter either lol
