Dave Ward's 1/72 Matchbox Heyford

Thread owner
Had a few problems with this - one sprue seems to have aged badly & become very brittle - struts being the main problem.

The structure is delicate at the moment - hopefully, when I add the rigging, that will make it a little more rigid, but before that I'll have to add the basecoat between the upper & lower wing surfaces

Not good to hear that about the plastic. I have this to look forward (?) to when I get around to building mine.

"Do something Muttely....medal medal medal." I remember the show alright.

The Heyfords going to look great Dave, great choice of an ugly beast.

Cheers,

My mate said that to his brother-in-law just before he died...

Not had any benchtime on this, I've a couple of health issues at the moment. I can muster enough energy to use my computer, but not a lot left for anything else! :dizzy:

Hope you feel better Dave. I’d missed this for some reason and it’s looking good despite the problems.
 
Here's hoping things soon improve for you

...and you can get back to that Handley-Page beast!
 
Rest a bit Dave and tackle the Heyford when you're up and better.

Cheers,

Bin it or put it in a box at the bottom of the stash. Your health and wellbeing is more important than a lot. Take care of yourself Dave.
