You have worked wonders with this "Franken-Falcon". I did it the chicken's way and waited for a resin 1:72 Falcon 900 to be released, which it eventually was by VAMI Models, (in fact I think you supplied me with the RAAF decals for this kit).

I think Broplan also eventually released a 1:72 Falcon 900. Given our shared squadron history, I will be watching this one with much interest.

You're correct about the Broplan kit as you sold me yours when you got your resin one :D

This one is a long stalled commission build. I will build the Broplan kit for me later on.



So that's what happened to that kit.....I thought I had one in the stash, but couldn't remember what happened to it.
From what I can recall, the Broplan kit was average at best, with very flimsy and thin plastic. I will be interested in your views when you eventually build the Broplan Falcon 900. I still have a Broplan Gulfstream 4 in the stash but am not that inclined to want to rush to build it.

The Falcon is back on the bench, as you may have seen on a certain FB page.

Funny how working on a Welsh Models B737, AMT KC-135, Airfix VC-10 and Minicraft B777 can motivate you to put another on the bench....

Finally fitted the stabs, and am adding some antennas and scribing in some gear doors.

Next is fix up the stuff ups with the scribing and reprime ready for paint.

Looking very smart. A great looking jet and I can't wait to see this one finished :)

Progress in on the Falcon 900. Had to mask and paint the windscreen and then could not resist some initial decaling.
