    The Atlas is on its legs now and gloss coated, Some more paintwork to go and a few doors and antennas to install. Though I would pose it with an old RAF workhorse to give an idea of size.

    Wow, the final stages came together fairly quickly. Very impressive finish. Love the shots with lighting . . . signifies crew onboard.

    Fantastic Ray! An absolute gem bringing the RAF 100 GB right up to date. I’d sell my soul of course for an F35 from 617 Sqn but with the current plastic that seems fairly distant, and can be added as a final touch after the fact. All of that said, your brilliant 70 Sqn Atlas brings us fantastically into the ‘current’. Well done! This will be an absolute sensation in the final reveal. Love it!

    Man oh Man what a beaut ! I'll bet that this one takes up a little real estate to display.
    Like our friend Peter stated, the lighting inside takes it over the top.

    Well done !

    Thanks gents, yes it came together quickly with a deadline to meet. Here are some pictures with my other RAF models that will grace a club display this weekend (all 1/72). I will take pictures of the display and share in the next couple of days.
    I will also endeavour to get some better pictures of the A400M in the next week or so rather than ion my crappy workbench cutting mat.
