The dawn of a new age.

Thanks for the complimentary remarks chaps. I don't feel it's one of my better efforts overall. I was pleased however with how the Vallejo Metal on the airframe turned out. It just might turn out to be my go to for natural metal finishes.

Hi Kiwichappers,
Yes, the metal finish looks good. I must admit I find that the Vallejo Metal finishes are really good, and less 'smelly' than Alclad II metalics.
Think Vallejo might now be my preferred option, especially for overall metal finishes.
Cheers,
Bigkev

The god of 'what ifs' would love this one.
Lovely job.

Great looking model. I use Vallejo, Tamiya and Citadel metallics to get a variation on the panels and have started using Vallejo Natural steel for tracks on AFVs, but that's another story.

Good looking model is that and summat diffrent too. Thanks for sharing it with us.

The Camproni wetted an interest in the early jet era and so here we are embarking on a build of the very first jet aircraft to fly. The cockpit is basic because there isn't a lot to refer to due to the secrecy surrounding it's development. At least I've found very little.

Hi Francis, you can only work with what you have.
Looking good so far.

I agree that metal finish is lovely.  I must invest in some of these as you and Kev have both been pleased with them.  I always find it odd looking when I see a jet not on a tricycle undercart though.  This could be the start of a new SIG!!!

That would be a long Group title Wizzel...."The Jet not on a tricycle undercarraige Special interest Group" (TJNOATUSIG) Phew!

I agree, but those living in 'With' speak like Neantherdals anyway....
So this will not be a problem for the primates living there, only us 'advanced brethren'
Cheers,

Advanced brethren - not words I would have used - hohohoh - but each to his own.

Not part of our club, anything advanced that is.

After a battle the fuselage is closed up and the worst gaps filled and polished. The shoulder belts have been added to complete details in the cockpit, sketchy as they are. Next is flatting the wing halves so they'll form something approaching an aerofoil shape.

Looks like a lot of work to be done to get it looking good.
