Been thinking about one of these for a while , the new Revell 1/32 is just silly money at the minute but i saw this at a bargain price so here it is . £18 inc delivery , its a great looking kit , 3 schemes and 2 pe frets , one for the seat belts and the other for the radar and other bits and bobs . Best get practising my mottling !

I received this from a neighbour today it belonged to her late husband. She asked me if I wanted it. So I have offered to build it and return it to her. As you can see it will be well out of my comfort zone but I am looking forward to it.

I will be after a lot of help from the wingy boys on here.



cheers

It's the lure of the feather pillows, kippers for breakfast and lack of mud............

Nice Mr. Smiff...And a great excuse to build up the stash Buddy!!!

You will have a lot of fun with that I think Allen. As to the price, if you want it, and can afford it, have it. Life is too short for regrets about not spending a few quid…..

Prob is...It gets worse!!!...........

And it did!!!..I went back on MBK's site late Friday and saw they still had some WnW kitsets available. With a 5% discount and always free postage, I lost all control and snagged this baby up. Postie dropped it off 20 minutes ago,


The funny thing is, this kit cost €25 more than the original USD sell price from 2015, when it was released!!!...You also have to love the shark teeth decals...Oh, and the figs and stuff should come on Thursday......

Hmmm, they still have a Rumpler C.IV (early) kitset for sale, but I think I'll pass on it...Got enough now...............

Prost

Now that’s a lot of rigging……pretty damn big as well.

[Allen Dewire]

There is a bit of rigging Tim, but the instructions show where it goes, internal and external. It's only a 57cm span x 30cm in length, as opposed to the Felixstowe F.2a's span of 91cm x 44cm length...

Found this while looking for something quite different. As in not this something else but yes this is very different! lol
Complete and unopened! The "Brass-work" is a bit orange, so that will be striped and painted.

Magic! - I had a go at this a looong time ago - the self adhesive brass bands around the boiler casing were a bit rough, but a really impressive model - with all the new LED tiny lights, it just begs to be illuminated!
