New endeavor

[USS Atlantis]

Started on a new project

Check my Wordpress page for details

Some more work on this, after a week of 10 hour days at the real job

[777]

That looks pretty big - what scale / size is it?

Re-read my first post

1:48 BAC TSR-2

Main fuselage is a bit over 20" long

Cool! I love seeing these 1/24th scale models being built.
What show is this from?

1) This is a 48 scale, Jon, not 24 scale

2) Not a show - this was a prototype for a "Tactical Strike and Reconnaissance" aircraft the British started investigating in 1959 - program was canceled in 1965 - that's why one of the tags is "X-Planes"

1/48? Damn, what I am missing!!!

I was joking, hence the emoticons.

Looking good and a not often seen subject, which makes it even cooler, imo.

Ahh, I was half asleep when I read that, Jon

And it's my Secret Santa gift from over on SSM - figured I better build it

[USS Atlantis]

Some more work done

Hope to do even more today

Are you planning on using any of the available aftermarket goodies? I know both Pavla and CMK offer some tremendous improvments in resin and etch you might like. I know as I bought all the CMK items for my kit of it in 1/72 -also from Airfix.

Does it come with the jailbait pilots or do you have to scratch those?

I was lucky to find this kit and snapped one up before it vanished. Hope to have a go at making it one day soon.
Great start Atlantis

Now if I can just get back to it

During the week is a pain, 9 hour days at work, followed by taking care of the semi-disabled wife

Weekends are my modeling time, except when real-life intrudes

Last weekend, plumb in a new shower-head (yep, soldering copper and the whole thing)

This weekend, replace the dying water heater with a new one - yep, more soldering work

Thank the goddess I know how to do this stuff, we couldn't afford a plumber to come in
