    Pauls Bloodhound...Airfix 1/76.....Missile GB

    This proved harder to do than i expected.......changed the colour of the landie/trailer/launcher......it was too dark so ended up brush painting with Revell nato green......added some 'glass' to the landie and a lead on the dog

    Biggest problem i had was once it was built the missile no longer sat on the trailer.....the arms needed tweeking outwards a bit but i was too worried it would snap so the missile is on the launcher

    Kit comes with some tiny figures.....three erks, a Rupert and a Snowdrop with a dog.......as a few of us can relate the alsation is the one with the higher iq of the duo ??

    Not my best work but as ever always fun to do....and i always love doing ancient kits....this was new tool in 1960!

      Surprising what a nice model can be made from these geriatric kits. Fun as well ?

                  Turned out nice!

                  I'm not disagreeing with your colour choice, but I think I'll stick to the ones on the boxart - they look prettier!? Mind you, with all the messing about I've had to do with my motors, all I've done so far is fill a few ejector pin marks. I've not even had time to upload my pics!
