Title: Roden BE2c 1/48
Post by: markleecarter on April 10, 2018, 06:02:42 PM

This was very much a build intended to get my mojo back after so many unfinished kits on the shelf of doom so I am delighted to have got it to a finished state. Although an unworthy tribute, it is also my tribute to Des, who loved the BE2 and I am pleased that he at least got to see it part way through the build.

Huge thanks to everyone for all your encouragement and kind words throughout the build. It is a nice kit and I am quite keen to do it again but with a bit more detailing.

Looking quite spectacular Mark and certainly much better then it did on the floor exactly a month ago. Great recovery and a beautiful model, congratulations!
Cheers,
Lance

Simply beautiful! Everything came together in a spectacular way in spite of the Mishap and hard landing on the floor. Very impressive results!!

It is a nice kit

Thank you for pointing me to that kit. I own the Datafile, but was not aware of this Roden kit and so I do not have this kit in my stash ::) This issue will be fixed soon!

Cheers,
Frank

Thank you so much for the kind words everyone. Mojo is definitely restored! I have an essay for University due in a couple of weeks so am denying myself starting another build until I have completed the essay but excited to start on the next one!
