Vic's Builds - Flying - Floating and Riding

[Vic Balshaw]

A few more shots of an F.3 Tornado....................................I guess I just like the big fin decoration. But then again, 56 Squadron RAF was my model building theme for many years.

This was the rather simple display livery for the RAF Fairford Airshow in 2005.

This build had a lot of etched detail add-ons.

Going back in time.....................to the care free 1920/30s. And of course it has to be BRITISH........................

Apologies folks, forgot to mention this is a Bentley 4.5 Litre at Le Mans 1930.

Fine work there Vic. What kit is that?

 

[Gnomey]

Lovely work Vic!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Fine work there Vic. What kit is that?

It was the re release of the Airfix kit and sad to say the original mouldings of way back when that were in very poor shape. I also had to hand scrape most of the chrome parts that were made of some form of anodized material that was like a metal coating that would not bleach off.

Thanks for the info Vic.

Back to the jet age with................
Phantom FG.1. 111 Squadron RAF Leuchars. 1985.

Tornado F.3. 111 Squadron RAF Leuchars 2011.

Both looking very factory fresh.
