1/72 Avro Shackleton MR 3
Hello
This is the Avro Shackleton MR 3, No. 120 Squadron, Royal Air Force, Kinloss, 1965.
The kit was reissued by Revell, formerly Frog, in 1997.
A small warning was included with the kit.

Hey, looks great. Did a good job. Older kits are still worth building.
That's a great looking Shackleton, Martin @matra
Never saw such a warning before but it is always good to know. Did you encounter any flash on those molds?
Thanks, John
Those parts didn't have that much flash.
This is an awesome build! I love seeing a Frog build done up so nicely. I also love the honesty of the warning.
Hi Martin. Super build.
Question sir? Were the decals from the Revell re-release, or aftermarket? I like the wing walk markings.
Hi Scott
Thanks.
The decals are from the kit.
Great job with this vintage kit.
A great result with a kit that is far less than "less than perfect." Great work.
That is a beautiful result!
Well done, Martin (@matra). The model looks very nice, especially for a former Frog kit. Interesting warning. It is like they are saying "Yes, we remolded it, but don't blame us if it doesn't fit." Talk about passing the buck.
Excellent job, Martin! Have the exact same kit, hoping to achieve a result half as yours.
Congratulations!
Excellent build on that old kit!
Wow - two Shackleton posts so close together - so nice to see great work on this old kit.
That's great to see an older kit can still be made to a great standard!
Nicely done Martin, (@matra) an oldie but a goody !
