VG 33 Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 Thank you very much. I spend more than two years to build them with other kits in between. You can follow this link http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?showtopic=273059 when I started a Group Build with the NZ one but missed the deadline. Anyway here are some other pictures with - every fuselage done : - the shadow shading - they are painted - starting the rigging - gluing the rigging Patrick 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWM Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 That is incredible set! I like it very much. I have only two Vildebeests in stash - the torpedo one (Singapore) and Spanish... One day I hope - I will follow you Congratulations! J-W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bristol boy Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Great to see these, unusual and timely as I have the Azur Vincent on order. Hard to believe that these were used in WW2 in the Middle East. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWM Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Besides words of enthusiasm to your work, what I did in my previous post I would like to ask you a practical question - what is a hardware difference between Vildebeest MK III and Vincent Mk I - except the torpedo/bombs and external fuel. Is there any? I have Vildebeest kit but Vincent is temptaing me more... Regards J-W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyot Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 What a fantastic production line Patrick,......one lovely Vincent or Vildebeest would be nice,.....but WOW!!! Cheers Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristol boy Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Great builds of rarely seen biplanes. I have the Azur one waiting its turn so a pleasure to see how it could turn out! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
