Another Aircraft From the Duke

Post by Duke Maddog »

This is the Saunders Roe S.R 53 experimental aircraft I started for the four-hour build night at my AMPS club. Any model could be done for this and I though this low-parts-count model would be easy. It wasn't, especially when it came to the decals. Anyway, it is done now; at least done enough for me.

Airfix Saunders Roe S.R-53 experimental aircraft in 1/72 scale:

Thanks all for looking in. Enjoy.

Thanks Carlos! I wish it had been a more 'quicky' build!

Thanks Kari! This could have been more white, but it is the best white I've done to date.
