Ron Bell Posted May 31, 2017 Report Posted May 31, 2017 This is a vacuform kit of this rather nice looking aircraft used by the RAF for a variety of training/transport rolls back in the day. Usual Airmodel kit with minimal detail and "iffy" fit. They say you can use almost any three bladed props with spinners, but the ones I found that looked the closest, at least in my spares box, were from an Airfix He-111! I did all I could to get the bugger to sit on its nose, but despite my best efforts, it's still a tail dragger, hence the clear prop under the fuselage. There are many flaws, but it is a pleasing aircraft visually.
ghodges Posted May 31, 2017 Report Posted May 31, 2017 (edited) Love it! That's quite a good looking scheme too. How did you handle the side fuselage windows? Are they individual parts, or was the fuselage molded in clear plastic? They look pretty sharp! GIL :smiley16: Edited May 31, 2017 by ghodges
Ron Bell Posted June 1, 2017 Author Report Posted June 1, 2017 The windows were sort of outlined on the fuselage. i cut them out and later filled them with Krystal Kleer and a final coat of Future That final coat keeps the Krystal Kleer from turning milky in humidity and provides a nice high gloss. 1
