Hi guys,

Thought that I might put pictures of the S4 on here as I recently took some better pictures of it. Salty, these are mostly for you mate to get your creative juices flowing as I know that you have just purchased this model.

For WIP photos, (including the famous Hang a Hat on it strength test!) here is a link to the photobucket slide show:

Nice to see this beauty land at A/CAM!
So what's on the way down Capt Eric? It will be a case of for me:
Vote 1

Best of Show!

Cheers

Adam

Hi Adam, don't talk it up too much mate!

As far as whats on the way down, Maybe this list... X-1, Tiger Moth, Mirage, Pancake and maybe the Sea Venom. I hope you guys will appreciate the huge risk I take to pack em and stow em!

Eric.

Thanks for that Eric. Magnificently executed.
I am reading a book about the history of the Schneider Trophy after seeing your S4 and then purchasing the kit from Hannants.
I'll be asking you plenty of stupid questions once I get going.

Good luck with it Salty. Check out the photobucket slideshow that I attached on the original post above to get a good idea on what's in store for you. A tricky kit to execute correctly and considering that I hadn't done gloss before, it was a good way to try a new technique. I also left the spinner un painted (it's white metal) so that I could gauge how effective my painting of the cowls were as far as comparing real metal to painted metal would be.

That painted metal is really, really good... I want to try that one day on a metallic airliner like an old Eastern airlines B727..
