Lots of holes to drill out.

1/12 Tamiya Ducati, mostly OOB hence the drilling rather than PE replacement.

Sometimes the simple solutions are the best!

Italeri F5 Tiger II, Patrouille Suisse.

This was a very hard model for a novice like me, tough masking and decals, I also had to bodge the gear bays shut. I just need to work out how to display it in flight.
I also need to work on my photography!

Lovely job.

May I recommend an acrylic rod up the bum.

I think this is the answer, I need 6mm rod but its very expensive on amazon and I'll end up with much more than I need.

A 300mm length of 8mm acrylic rod is less than £5 on eBay.

Well done for seeing it through! Looks great and you should be proud. Does need a rod up it's bum...

I think of myself an accomplished modeller but I know I'd cock up the decals so wouldn't go near that livery, strength to you!

I just came across this on Pinterest, maybe an option if you don't fancy a rod up the bum

[gruffgriff]

Those Coastal Kits bases are ace! So effective for their simplicity.
So, rod up the bum or spike in the belly?!

[46and2]

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I have a piece of acrylic rod on its way, I'll probably go for a small base as I'm only allowed one st shelf at the moment.


Does the A4 base come painted like that? Or do I have to go all Bob Ross?

I'm not a modeler, just like lurking & enjoying everyone else's efforts! As gruffgriff mentioned Coastal Kits, I just had a look and found this; https://coastalkits.co.uk/cubecart/motion-blur
