The things on the inboard pylons are the Hindenburg droptanks   so she has four fuel tanks in all

LUV the four different coloured tanks!

 

Can I steal that idea when I do mine in 1/72?

Thanks.   Yes feel free to do the same (hell, its not like I could stop you even if I wanted to    ).  I got the idea looking at photos of RAF Tornados which regularly carry drop tanks with mis-matched colours.  When Tom publishes the article you'll see the whole story, but my Tornado has just been flown to Japan to participate in a war in Korea so I figured do it in ferry config and then I do can all 4 RAF colour schemes on the drop tanks.

Jschmus - Steve is correct, those are 2250 lt "Hinderbergers" on the wings and 1500lt tanks under the fuselage.

Look at the size of that mother-fecker !

Holy fleurking schnitt !



Great job too, Nev.....love the big Hunter as well. And those tanks....really neat idea !

 

PS-and not to be too superstitious, but you've broken the chain of 'cats included' photos !

Thanks Todd, but the cat is in one of the in-progress shots a few pages back if that counts

Wow, that's impressive!  Say, where does this huge baby sit on display, anyhow?

You know..I really should read these threads in sequential order..not pop into the middle like I just did......One can get an erroneous impression some times!!!!

For a while she sat on top of the freezer in the kitchen, but that was too precarious a position.  Now she sits in the loft, but she's too big for my display cabinet so she's on the bench along with a couple of other models under a light-weight dust sheet (the kind of thin paper that flat pack bookcases and the like come in)

And thanks for the kind comments Baz and Alvis
