Shawn M Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Thanks Lee, I've drooled over those and wished for more info into the build. I've got the information I need to do it, but yikes! Once I finish the stash maybe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee White Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 DON'T THINK ABOUT IT, DO IT--------- (YES YOU CAN------------) Frank Mitchell Exactly. I bought this book (link below) and, after reading it 20 times thought, "I can do this". One of the best investments I have ever made for my model building "career". http://www.largescaleplanes.com/reviews/review.php?rid=333 Derek B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wunwinglow Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 Lee, that book is one of my most treasured possessions! That and Tony Woollets Scale aircraft models in Plastic Card.

Iain Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Victor, Vulcan, Shackleton, Vickers Vernon (perhaps if WnW do a Vimy?), Supermarine Southampton - and probably *lots* of others if I put my mind to it - but time is limited and I have enough going on already! Books - I have the 'Scratch Built' book linked above - signed by Peter Cooke - who used to make the excellent tea at Thames Valley Scale Model Club - and was an influence in my interest in the BiG stuff. The book is an excellent resource of materials, methods and inspiration. And thanks to a *really* kind person of this parish - I have a copy of the Harry Woodman book too!

mattlow Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) Lee, that book is one of my most treasured possessions! That and Tony Woollets Scale aircraft models in Plastic Card. Keep those suggestions coming!! Tim This book has, I recall, been made available on the net as a free to download PDF. And I don't mean some dodgy Russian site.. this is bona fide as I believe the book is no longer published. I'll see if I can find the link.. OK, update. The book was made available as a series of web pages (not a PDF). These got hacked and the site was taken down for repair. As far as I know it hasn't been put back up. However I just found a link to an archive of the original site and here's the link. http://web.archive.org/web/20080122045153/http://www.wwimodeler.com/harry/contents.htm It is a great little book and is inspirationally straightforward and down to earth in the way it shows you various techniques.

dutik Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Mig-25 1:1 scale. Then take a ride 20 kilometres high... Do you know that you can see there the curvature of the Earth with the naked eye? OK, it helps to have a cockpit or a pressurized suit around you Regards - dutik, who sadly missed the opportunity to make that ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Addition to my earlier post - not sure how I could miss this because it should be top of the list: The Blackburn B-5 Baffin... Special because my grandfather flew them in the mid-30s with 812 Sqn - off HMS Glorious in the Mediterranean - and shore based at Hal Far, Malta. If I could find decent plans I'd start tomorrow!

Out2gtcha Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 If I could scratch build anything, it would be a 3D printer. Vandy 1 VX 4 and joe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Dog Flying Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 In 1979 I test flew a DH60M, which had been completely rebuilt from a truck load of junk. CF-ADI was built to fly then taken to the Western Transportation Museum in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.. A 1:32 scale replica would really look good next to my Tiger Moth Barney wunwinglow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CATCplSlade Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) 1/32 FW 190 V1. Pretty much my dream model. Are you aware of this kit? http://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?showtopic=28402 There is one currently on ebay.com that ends in 14hrs, so I imagine they must turn up. Price is about $55. http://www.ebay.com/itm/321648175879?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Edited January 27, 2015 by CATCplSlade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
