Stebos Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I love biplanes, be following this one closely. I also hate biplanes as I'm not brave enough to try one myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my first experience on rigging coming up soon so I'll see how I do with that. /back on topic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netminder Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I was going to build a pair of 1/32 early Spits for the GB, but Cornish, you've got me thinking that I might build AModels 1/72 Hawker Fury II instead!!! I just picked up the kit and it should be something that I can get done in a month! Ted P.S. You're right Perry, she is a little sweetie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 Oh yes the Fury would be a great addition to the GB, would love to see that. Can't wait to get this baby started now, there seems to be a growing interest in "Silver Wings". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 It's a beautiful thing That's the scheme I am planning on doing. It has decals, but I think I will mask and paint the sunburst stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish Posted April 11, 2008 Author Share Posted April 11, 2008 Ok, have been a bit busy this week so am only now geeting around to starting this. I have had this in the Stash for a few months but have resisted the temptation to open the box. First impressions are good. The injected parts are clean and nicely detailed, with very little flash and the wing rib detail seems well defined. Only one thing seems apparent at first glance, that there appears to be no lower wing mounting guides on the fuselage, so I think positioning these will be fun. The instructions are clear with Agama and Humbrol colour numbers, although I fell they are aimed at a builder with some experience in reference to the wing postioning etc. Nice bit of resin and etched parts to add detail, I think the radial will come up nice with some dry brushing and should look good within a polished towned ring. The decals are ok except that the register on the roundels is off. It has decals for the sunbursts, but I will probably mask and paint these. Here are a couple of pictures, I'm off to get started.
