Quick, somebody go over and check on Leigh, he might have just suffered(?) a terminal orgasm.

Bloodyhellthat'samzing!!! Incredible build, a whiffer extraordinaire! But is that the Frog/Revell kit? The stand looks like the ones Lincoln International models came with.    

[Rafael]

Hola, Rat. This is a Kader old, very old model. Lines are not reccessed, and the canopy is tinted greeen because the pilots were a sorry excuse for a crew to mount on a model. So i made the compromise of building it w/o the crew and try to cover some imperfections and were left collecting dust in the abandoned corner, until i became a Whiffer and rescued it from its dusty fate....

[The Rat]

Yeah, I think Kadar was one of the companies who pressed Lincoln models after their demise, might have been others too. Lincoln had some interesting molds, including a 1/144th Sunderland. I have their HP Victor, search this site for 'wolverine' and you'll see it. Nothing as creative as yours though!    

[Rafael]

Thank you very much Rat. You're very Encouraging. I will be postin a new model tomorrow, if everything goes fine. Check the Zwilling from hell.....

[BlackOps]

Rafael, perfect choice in colors and pattern for your camo. It really suits the Gannet perfectly. All the little mods made a big difference...well done!    

[Sisko]

Man that looks great!!!

You have made me reconsider my thoughts about getting a gannet.

I mean who would have thought that something so ugly could look so cool.

I also have to agree with everybody else nice paint shceme.  

[Rafael]

Thanks Sisko and everybody, that's a lucky paintbrush stroke day i had...

And did you know that i'm not much the prop driven aircraft modeler? My next post will be a prop job too...Radical!!
