Loic Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Hey Dan, nice start on that beau There is a lot of potential in that kit if one is courageous enough and it seams you are! Cheers, loic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotary Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 hi dan, i agree with everything the guys are saying---but i think very often doing 'bits and bobs' is the best way to go----sometimes my best bits come about at 2o'clock in the morning---or during an impromptu bit of modelling---- and conversley some '****-up's' when i'm all settled in for some 'serious' modelling, and i'll bet i'm not alone in this? the beau is coming along nicely-------some real 'old fashioned' modelling here i feel---keep at it dan. dave.

rotary Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 also dan-----if the option of open cowlings is one your looking at PARADE FIGURES here in england have exquisite resin bristol hercules engines----expensive--but masterpieces by vector. just thought i'd give you a heads up on this. dave.

Drof88 Posted September 20, 2008 Author Share Posted September 20, 2008 Cheers guys Loic- it's either courage or insanity- i haven't decided yet Oh yup, i certainly prefer Revell kits- 99.9% of the kits stashed around my room (or hidden in my car ) are Revell!! There's a couple of exceptions though- 3 airfix, one lindberg and a herritage aviation I'm dreaming of their 48th He111 *drools* a project for the future... Dave- Yeah, i prefer to scratchbuild rather than use resin as for some reason i've always dreaded using it, even though i've never tried it!! I've read a few tutorials, which makes it seem less daunting and makes me want to have a go with this 'mystical material' Who knows- by the end of the build i might even be casting my own stuff !! I say about not liking resin... But who's just gone and ordered Herritage Aviation's 48th Grob Vigilant !! It's sitting on my shelf, tempting me, waiting for when the beau is done And cheers for the heads up on the Vector 32nd hercules radials- i'd seen photos of them ages ago but never found out who supplied them!! As you say, at about £16 each they're not cheap- but definatly worth it going by all that gorgeous detail!! I think i might be showing her 'nude' (with the cowls/panels off) after all Pics will hopefully come soon (when i charge my camera lol)!! -Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Hi Dan, like the others said, it's great to see someone tackle this kit, you're doing the old lady justice, and indeed it's a impressive looking model afterwards... happy modeling J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I wonder what ever became of this build? Kev Scrodes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrodes Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I wonder what ever became of this build? Kev Yeah I just picked up one of these at a trade show for $20 and happened across this thread. Looks like it died hard and early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
