I saw this dirtied down Task Force 3 last year on auction. I kept a pic because I wanted to ask you if you liked the effect its created, the dirtying down?
Personally I don't like it and prefer to see toys left alone but that's the collector in me. As a kid I also messed with stuff like you will have done. Maybe a kid did this?
Not sure this is deliberate. It just looks grubby to me. Odd how the cockpit looks cleaner though.
ReplyDeleteOddly enough I posted this before. I'd forgetten Mish. Click on the label below.
DeleteI think I'm right in saying it took the astronauts weeks after returning to get the moon dust - which had worked through their umpteen layers - out of their fingers (and probably other parts?), so anything which has visited a similar surfaced planet or planetoid will be so filthy a jet wash won't bring it back! So the silvery effect of this may well be deliberate, it has a good box, there's no other reason for it?
ReplyDeleteInteresting Hugh. I think its deliberate too, a real go at dirtying down.
DeleteLooks like its missing its wheels. Has it been converted to an in-flight model?(I've seen lots of JR21 TB3 conversions)
ReplyDeleteWell spotted Timmy Eagle! It does look like its sat flat on the surface doesn't it.
