Title: Felixstowe Antidote
Post by: Gisbod on July 03, 2015, 04:02:39 PM

Hi all,

Wanted a nice straightforward build after the Wingnut's Felixstowe - the Tamiya F-84 is a lovely, simple kit... No rigging!  ;D

But the Bristol Fighter is calling me...

Smashing build and paint work!! Ilove the early jets.

Wow!  Guy the F-84 is magnificent!  What did you use for the
NMF?  It is awfully close to perfection, my friend, but it must
have been a let-down to find no rigging to do. ;) ;D  I also
have a soft spot for the post-war jets without the camouflage or
no-vis markings. 

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Thank you chaps,

Ernie.. Just the usual Alclad (& aftermarket resin seat, decals, PE)

The Felix was super fun, but it's somehow very relaxing doing a 'quickie'!

    Pretty outstanding work for a "quickie", Guy! Lovely job.

Sweet!  Sort of like the BE2c of the jet age!  You can be proud of this one, Guy.  She's a beauty.
Cheers,
Bud

Just fabulous Guy!  I have this one in the jet stash, and your F-84 build is inspiring. Great metal finish! Thanks for sharing this.

Regards,

Bob

Wow, Guy! You are faster than me, again. My antidote to Felixstowe is still in pieces, I will show it later.
Your F-84 is top class - fantastic modelling and painting.

What a super model - it looks as though it is real, no kidding.

For my antidote to the Ago I am going to try another thing with string - can't help it - I am addicted! I think it could be the equivalent of the hair of the dog!

Oh thats an excellent build :) As other have said, the NMF is perfect but, I really like the yellow gloss :)

Just gorgeous!  I'm no fan of kerosene-powered lawn darts, but I do like the early jets, having picked up the Eduard Royal Class MiG-15 boxing. I need to get some opposite numbers for the stash.

Many thanks all,

Didn't think people would like a jet here! But likewise I have a soft spot for early jets, maybe a Sabre too at some point.. If I ever get time!
