Sentinel R1 (ASTOR) - Ooops, not a what-if !

[chris0423]

Hi All,

Well I have had this in the stash for a while and though it best to give it a go before the barge gets going !.

This the Anigrand Craftworks resin 1/72 RAF Sentinel R1 (ASTOR - Airborne Stand-Off Radar). There is only about 30 parts to the kit, but the fuselage comes in 4 half's so there had been a lot of filling and sanding so far (and some more to go) to get it all nice a smooth.







oh, and this little baby to follow !



All the best, and as usual all comments / criticism are most welcome.

Chris.

These are going to be very cool builds...but man, a four piece fuselage? Ouch!

Hey Dupes,good to hear from you.

Yea a 4 pieces all lined up reasonably well, but I reckon about a 1/4 mm on the vertical and horizontal axis. Easy enough to sort out, just need patience ! Once the winds and nose cone are sorted its really just the cockpit. Nice and easy build !

Two great looking kits Chris! I'll be following along.

Cheers Leon, both lovely kits, its deceptive but the Sentinel is 420mm long. In real life it must be a monster.

Both these kits look great Chris, and you have done a great job on that four piece fuselage!

They will definitely make for something different on the shelf!

Cheers,

Sam

Definitely not something you see every day, but cool nonetheless! Looking forward to more here Chris.

Cheers Sam and Will, I reckon I will get it finished this weekend. Still plenty of sanding to do and I prefer to do it outside as the kit is resin.

Thanks for stopping by.

Chris.
