1:32 FLYING SUB (Voyage to the bottom of the Sea)

[MARK M3]

A personal 1:32 Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea FLYING SUB build.
I had started this some time ago, and realized I never posted photos of it.
Air brushed to reflect the filming miniature.I used Tamiya and Model Master paints. The model was shaded per the filming miniature.
The landing gear hatches were filled in and sanded smooth.As well as that horrible hatch under the viewport.
I cast a set of rear engine nozzles to reflect the Filming miniature and replaced the kit supplied parts with them.
Paragrafx Photo etch and decals were used throughout.
Thanks.

Here is my Moebius 1:32 Voyage To The Bottom Of the Sea Flying Sub build .
I built too many to remember of this model but retained this one for myself.
Here’s what I did…
I filled in and sanded smooth those ugly landing gear hatches on the bottom.
I made my own engine exhaust casings to match the studio miniature and discarded the kit parts.
I cut the plastic search light casings off the model and fabricated my own replacements.
The model was air brushed a “ school Bus Yellow” and shaded with yellow and orange and grey to match the studio miniature. ( the Flying Sub Is NOT lemon Yellow).
Photo Etch from Paragrafix was used through out.
The model features full lighting and figures of Nelson and Crane.
The lighting is my own. I wanted it to match the studio miniature’s warm white interior.
I thought I would take some proper pictures of the model instead of the usual bench top photos.
Thanks!
