After nearly a month and half in the works Airfix's RAF Air Sea Rescue Launch is complete..

 

Here's the story of her build (told mostly in pictures)..

 

The kit dates back to 1978, the boxing I'm using is from 2013.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Building her up - some swearing and a lot of sanding was needed!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A few elastic bands too!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For a sense of scale - next to 1/72nd scale Flower Class Corvette that I'm building for a client.

 

 

 

In Primer

 

 

 

And then in paint

 

 

 

 

 

 

Adding the decals..

 

 

 

 

 

 

Starting to add details

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Adding the rigging

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And fully armed..

 

 

 

 

Weathered (well given an oil wash) and the RAF Ensign raised!

 

Photo'd in natural light..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And a cameo - the Attacker is back  

 

 

 

 

Till next time (it won't be long)
