Summer GB 2011: The Spotty orange paratrooper. (Or madness will surely follow).

[Ian M]

Well I finally got a runway made, so I guess this is a bout done.

Sorry for the rather crude way that the aircraft is held up. As soon as the photos where taken, the Jaguar was removed from its perch and is just sitting on the deck.

A good build, that went together quite well considering the age of the kit. (1979 If I remember correctly).

If the Orange looks way to, erm, orange its purely the sun light that was banging through the window.

Was I mad? Perhaps, Did this drive me mad? No more than I was before. Would I do it again? Well if that 1/32 scale Jag ever turns up...........

Ian you're a madman ! What a great challenge you tackled and very well indeed !!! I love the 'chute flying thats a nice touch,again a job worthy of 5 stars nicely done Sir!

 

[Gern]

That's really very nicely done Ian. It clearly didn't drive you mad as you were still able to do a cracking job on the Hurri and Seafire builds you've just posted as well!
