Bandwagon 106 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 (edited) At least he starts them, I would run away if one of these appeared in my stash! Either that it would never be built. Joel Edited July 30, 2008 by Bandwagon 106 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 Actually Mike, I was thinking of you when I wrote that! Nige is another one... lots of half finished kits. I'm sure a lot of us are guilty if we're honest :shithappens: I think mine are as follows: Stirling (who can blame me?) MB-5 (again, who can blame me?) Dynavector Wyvern (stalled for no reason) Valiant (still ongoing, just very slowly) Jag (put on hold while I do masters) The Scimitar is still moving, albeit quite slowly...

general melchett Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 (edited) I've never tried a Sanger Mike , tended to go for Contrails and Falcons,.......... are there seriously no guidelines for the wings , tail , etc !!! talk about making a tough job harder...I was seriously thinking of going for the 48th scale Victor ...What do you think to quality of these kits , from what I can see of yours the plastic looks fairly substantial. ? The Stirling looks to be quite accurate but going by the box art of the Victor it looks a bit suspect, for a start it's a B1 but it's got slipper tanks ! , looks like they took a pic of XA930 trials aircraft and camouflaged it for some reason !!!) but then it's only the artwork ! still probably give it a shot later on .... Andy Hate to think how many stalled/ snailpaced projects I've got on the go Edited July 30, 2008 by general melchett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Lanc Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Way to Go Mike....... Go Mike Go Mike if anyone in the near future goes to the Yorkshire Air Museum have a look around the building and you will find a built Sanger 1/48th Sterling and looks very nice, so don't tell us it can't be done [where have i heard that before] ian.

No more progress, hopefully if we put enough pressure on him, he'll stop stalling !!!!!!!! He he Bet Mike would have liked to see it finished as well. When was the last time you seen it Mike? It's on top of his cupboard, I gently remind him every time I'm over !!!! Have to do it gently, he's bigger than me !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 I've got Neil breathing down my neck on this right now... we've got all the bits out, and he's thinking of stealing it from me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbeach84 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Why not just flip the wings side to side? Have to rescribe, yes, but at least it would still "go" I think some one forgot to label the masters during fabrication! \ R, Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody37 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I think that's the plan. would just need a skim of car filler over the surfaces than a rescribe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woody37 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Well gonna bump this. I was hoping Mike would finish it, but instead, I’m taking over the reins with the view to getting it finished for Telford. The display this year will be all 1/48 scale. I’m not sure if I’m nervous or excited at the prospect of this build, my failure rate with vac forms is 100% so far so no pressure 😬 fortunately, what Mike has done so far will take a big sting out of the work involved, especially with what he’s done to make the clear parts. I’ll be stocking up on P38 filler! Fortunately, the Manchester didn’t use the mid upper turret so being a mk.i, it will come in perfect for the Stirling. need to find some engines and props, so if anyone has any beaufighter bits going free, let me know thanks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickthebrief Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Hi Woody, Somewhere in the stash there lurks a Tamiya Beaufighter, and some resin to convert it to a Mk 2 - so I guess the kit engines, cowlings (and props I presume?) are going spare... They might take a bit of finding, but are yours if you'd like them. Hopefully that will solve half your power plant problems... Let me know - is "pm me" the thing people say at this point? Nick.
