discussion Handley Page dart Herald : 1/72 Marquette: Jersey Aiport Diorama

[Guest]

%%$£$%^ Maquette. A horror show. awful. But had to have it
as the herald was a mainstay in the 50/60s at Jersey.

One thing I have learnt from this model never build another
Maquette. Could have added a lot more & bettered the
model but comes a point enough is enough.

This is Maquette shudder. :rolling: :flushed: :tired:

What are the last 3 ?

 

[Guest]

Vickers Viking Viking, A Dove & Dragon Rapide Tony..

Then sort the diorama into some semblance of order. Smaller will be suspended
in air to give room.

Some real modelling skills on display throughout the build, a round of applause is well deserved for taking that from what it was to what it is,super job :thumb2:

Hi Laurie
That is a great result especially as the kit was so poor. Love how the dio is shaping up.

Well Heller / Airfix do the dragon rapide , i think you can get a conversion kit for the Airfix Heron to make a Dove and guess what — Maquette do a Viking !! ( although Valom do one too )

Heron is on the Apron Tony. Also there is one at Jersey Airport. Not in flying form. But you can have it for £1.

Got the Dragon binned on first attempt not looking right on the snout. Next one will have to do a bit of plastic surgery.

Got the Dove an Amodel.. Yes have the Maquette Viking. But also have the Valom Viking which came out recently.

Do you a deal on the Maquette :tongue-out: :flushed::tears-of-joy::tongue-out2::anguished::cold-sweat::money-face::disappointed:

That really has turned very nicely indeed, especially considering all the problems you had.

Very well done indeed.

Thanks Jim very kind. I will have to do a bit of re-shaping as 3 kits to go. But it is good fun & satisfying (Maquette apart).
