Ok update time. Just in time for the Scots Nationals this weekend.
first a Trumpeter Wyvern.
This was one of a pair of kits that I aquired from Brother Narses last year. The other one is a compleate kit so is reserved for a RW build.
This one had donated part of its war load to one of Chris's other projects, so was earmarked for whiffing.................
As you can see she is in Indian Navy marking, lifted right out of a Hobbyboss Hawker Seahawk kit.
Next a few VTOL's
First up a two seat Harrier II............
This is an old Airfix Harrier T-10 kit. One of a pair I started and got bored with around ten years ago.
I finaly dusted them off and this is the first to emerge from the loft. Its been rehashed into a Royal Navy ground pounder (aka Harrier S-14). with the rear seater retasked as a WSO for the sniper pod hanging off the belly pylon.
The 2nd T-10 is being built as a T-10 but in Royal navy markings, under the idea that the Navy was able to take over the full Harrier fleet when the RAF put the knife in to the Harrier community over here.
next up is a converted GR-9, that is now upto AV-8Bplus standard as an F/A-12.
This is a Hasegawa kit built prety much OOB. It doesnt show so well, but this one is in a metalic grey scheme. Not quite the same as the F-35 but almost. The idea being the Navy repainted its "new" F/A-12's in a similar scheme to the soon to arrive F-35B's to get the pilots used to the scheme in question.
The model is rigged for airdefence with a pair of ASRAAM's and four Meteor Mid range AAM's instead of Aim-120 AMRAAM's.
Third is a real one.
Namely ZM137, the UK's first F-35B
The simple but not so easy to find Fujimi kit built OOB, with Uk markings taken from an Xtradecal set.
I started this one early last year, but got side tracked. I dusted it off to finish in time for the Scots nationals, to sit along side the two Harriers. the paint job used Hataka paints for the correct metalic grey shade.
Finaly there's these two.
A bit more can be found on TSRjoes own Spot on models thread.
