International Scale Modeller

Well guys I'm finally done!!!!!!!! I am so pleased to have finished a group build on time! (I hope this makes up for the Sci-Fi GB) LOL. I know it sounds daft but finishing has really improved my confidence in regard to modelling, i haven't stopped smiling since i finished yesterday! (sad i know)!

Anyway, onto the build. Revell have done a cracking job delivering a ton of well moulded, crisp plastic at a fantastic price. I would recommend it to anyone wanting a large scale bomber. The only draw backs are the assembly of the undercarriage, which is very fiddly and nerve racking! All the other little issues that came along were entirely down to me.
I painted this kit using Mr hobby aqueous RLM colours for airbrushing and a mix of vallejo model colour and humbrol for the detail painting. I did use tamiya smoke for the exhaust staining for the first time, it worked well but i need to be more subtle!!!!!
The only after market on this kit are the swastikas, very kindly donated to me by Chief5437. Thanks again mate!

Anyway enough waffle here are the pictures.

Superb result Ben, I've not commented on your build thread but I have been following it, top draw build and the end result is fantastic.

Truly fantastic build Ben really stunning work well done buddy

Beautiful result mate

Stunning job, Ben! She's gorgeous!

On a side note: Isn't it strange how we such beauty in the models of these machines that brought so much death and destruction, an this one, in our homeland; such an oxymoron?!

Cheers
Martin
