CANicoll Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Here we go, fun build of the Italeri rebox of the 1992 Hobbycraft kit, using decals from Kevin (thanks!!). Built for one of my club members who is doing a lot of WWI events. Billy Bishop was the leading Canadian ace of WWI, a pilot of remarkable skill, and usually went hunting solo. Not much was done on these undersides, but the topsides are weathered to knock down the shine. I need to learn how to do props better. Getting there! Seat is actually painted paper towel. The pattern seemed to fit pretty well. Close up view of the top wing weathering Tail before weathering: And after: AlexM, Bill Cross, Wolf Buddee and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CANicoll Posted March 31, 2018 Author Share Posted March 31, 2018 Thanks Mike! Yep and will see you there. Bringing 'Spare Parts' and the Nieuport 17. What are you bringing this time? Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seiran01 Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 May bring the Camel in but need to fix an aileron on it... have had barely any build time since early feb so not really any progress to show on the Gotha. CANicoll 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CANicoll Posted March 31, 2018 Author Share Posted March 31, 2018 Wow, was that fast! Nice job. Glad the decals helped you out too. Pretty much had it built and rigged, just needed those decals. :-) Thanks Kevin! Chris LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANicoll Posted March 31, 2018 Author Share Posted March 31, 2018 Thank you all very much! I really do appreciate the kind comments. It is a nice little kit - I think Tamiya's engines have more parts than this entire kit - and the subject is kind of fun as well. Minimum of rigging (so THAT's good!) - and its a good 'learning' model I think. Cheers folks! Chris Bill Cross 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
