David M. Knights Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 The new Frrom-Azur Vildebeest is on its way to the Knights' Court of Last Resort. I've wanted to do this one ever since I read Bloody Shambles. Now I need info. Cockpit and detail photos, etc. Anything you can point me to would be appreciated.

Ron Bell Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Not the most documented aircraft around. Although with this release, maybe more will surface. I did the Contrails Vacuform kit a couple years ago and the interior was all done in the "by guess by golly" method. Technically, mine is wrong. The Vildebeest, the torpedo bomber, usually flew with a cowling. The Vincent, it's twin but a spotter/level bomber, was usually seen without one, but I just liked the look of that exposed engine. A Yahoo search for images produced many photos, include some of a restoration and some of a modeling detailing project with good shots of an interior. Have fun.

VonL Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 (edited) Way cool! That is an airplane with character (and a sweet build by Ron). Hope you will post WIP here. Edited July 11, 2011 by VonL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghodges Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Mr. Bell: I find it ironically humorous when you refer to my "masochistic vacuform tendencies" when you produce such beautiful results with far more intimidating subjects! I think we need to drown the sorrows of our sorry building tendencies in Omaha! See ya at the bar my friend! GIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David M. Knights Posted July 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 That is nice. I considered the vacuform kit as well as the resin one out of NZ, but for once my patience paid off. You are right Ron, there isn't much out there, information-wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Bell Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Thanks everyone for the kind words and Gil, I will see you at the bar.......as usual. But this is all about Dave's quest for info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
