Finally a Banshee to fill a void that has been lacking for years. Don't care about the reviews, good bad square, etc. I want one.
I want one of these too... I agree with you 100 percent.
Just goes to prove even a Kitty Hawk kit can be "a beautiful thing" in the right hands. Fantastic looking result.
And in just seven days (if you're a masochist)
KH tackles interesting subjects and the surface quality is actually not bad too. If only the fit and the accuracy of their research were better. I'm nonetheless preparing a build of their MIG-25 ...
François' Banshee is a feast for the eye.
very nice...i've got one on order from Hong Kong
Well done Rob, a real beauty.
Guys, some confusion here- this is a link to a build review of this new kit by a Belgian modeller. I only provided the link to the review.
Rob...can you explain more about your use of Gouache technique?
Jack, please see note above; not my build. But re gouache method it's a simple application across panel lines that's left a few minutes and then excess wiped away to reveal panel shadow.
Thanks Rob. Sorry about the mix up.
PS naturally you have to thin the gouache before use.
Fantastic Rob ! Your Banshee is a real head turner...
I can see another purchase for me in the future.
Thanks for vote of confidence, Louis, but see notes above. Anyway, hope the build review was otherwise of interest.
I really like this build. It looks to be light years ahead of the previous "Hawk" kit which I currently have. I've heard a few grumblings at other places online, about there being some errors with this and that. But for me I'll still purchase one when the opportunity presents itself... The article was great. Thanks for posting the link.
Thanks for the look see.
That is a beautiful build! Yeah, I want one, I'm afflicted! I can take it or leave it alone! Yeah, it's not that bad... Who am I kidding? Oh, well!
Nice!
Looks really good.
I'm very interested !
