Thats a cracking model, not only in creating it but with the build and finish especially with those metallic shades, really making the look.

As for wheels up build you could always use a rod going through the rocket motor and hid it with rocket plume.

There's a load of photos in the scalemodelworld 2022 thread and I know my Canberra P12 is there, albeit unfinished. As well as the Vickers Vanquish SR2.

I think this model and your paint finish is fantastic!!
There be a couple boo boos but I think it's excellent. Someday I may attempt a bare metal finish like that.

Great Job and a big example for color and metal finish  :thumbsup:

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Beautiful model and I can only imagine the time you had to put in designing it.

Rick Lowe

Nice job, especially as you had to build it twice - first virtually and then physically.

Can't see a problem with the tyres, but other opinions are available, as they say.

Agree with the gloss clear coat before the markings, but then again, silver can do funny and annoying things when you clear over it.

Whatever.
