moaning dolphin Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 The ripple will be a nice colourful one, would be good to see that one! Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyboy72nd Posted November 27, 2016 Author Share Posted November 27, 2016 OK, got the kits out and dove into the box!!?? Have started on the 72 Sqn SAR bird (XR518 IIRC) from the 95 Modeldecal sheet. So I took Colin's previous advice and flipped an HU5 nose upside down and got the razor saw out!! Now need some assistance, my Wessex library is very thin, anorexic!!! Would there have been a FOD screen behind the 'parrot beak' intake? I am thinking yes coz that intake could hoover up a lot of junk from the tarmac!! Just working on the front end of the engines then I can button up the front and move aft! Pics to follow. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moaning dolphin Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Looking good so far, but which kit and scale is this? Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyboy72nd Posted December 5, 2016 Author Share Posted December 5, 2016 Italeri I thought that 72nd was the only scale!???? It's pretty quiet here in the colonies, the town crier hasn't made mention of 'other' scales???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heloman1 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 So Flyboy72nd, where are you hiding??? You've been absent since mid december... Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyboy72nd Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 Trying to dig up some references to the 72 Sqn 'parrot beak' SAR bird, project has stalled & I doubt if it will recover to stable flight soon! You can call me a no show for the Endex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
