discussion ‘Barn Find’ Tempest MkV Complete

[Charlie Delta Foxtrot]

It is done. I’m happy with the crusty results

Looks good :thumb2:

That looks convincingly like a plane that’s sat around too long. Are you going to build a barn to go around it now?

Very nice finish, Russell

I note you wrote earlier, you won't be building a barn to house your Tempest.
The model is just nice as a 'Stand Alone'. A barn could well have distracted the viewer from your aircraft.

Cheers,
Ron

Very nice.

I wouldn't mind finding something like that for real!

 

[Tim Marlow]

Looks great Russell. You must be happy with that one.

Definitely not.

Thanks Gents! Very pleased. To ensure good mental balance her twin, the 50s bare metal target tug, is also coming on nicely and will be nice and shiny with little to no weathering.

Russell,
That is a cracking result mate.

A result sans peur et sans reproche - not bad either! Nicely done Russell!

Hi Russell, what about a base with a barn style wood floor, just to give one the idea it's in a barn........a little straw here and there, maybe a wood barrel in the corner.....just spitballing here. Down right lovely work on a very neglected "bird". Rick H. :thumb2:

Maybe one day. I’m already back on the bench to finish off two other models on the go.

Beautiful

Very nice work indeed

Thanks Gents!

That is really good. I've seen a few barn find cars, but an aircraft is different. Brilliant.

 

[Charlie Delta Foxtrot]

very kind Colin, thanks! Someone on IG pointed me to this link. Not quite a barn find as they knew they were there but as close as it gets; a mosquito two kittyhawks and a mustang in one barn…
