kev67 Posted January 15, 2017 Author Share Posted January 15, 2017 Some of you asked to see both the Gene Hooker Vanguard and Airways VC10 side by side, the photos show the comparable size of the two aircraft which the Vanguard is not that much smaller than its neighbour 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aircraftkit Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Wonderful ! Thank you for posting the comparative photos of the Vanguard next to the VC10. As you say, the Vanguard was a surprisingly large aircraft. How about a Viscount to complete a trio ? Go on, you know you want to ! Don 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conflats Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Wow fantastic model, those panel lines are excellent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busnproplinerfan Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Amazing vac form, never known if you didn't say. I still have to practice the panel line streaking like that. I'm glad you parked the Vanguard next to it, I have the Vanguard unbuilt and I know how big it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zebra Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Was just looking through photos from Telford on imodeler and saw a familiar looking BUA VC10 had won gold. It can only be this one - congratulations @kev67, very well deserved! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David H Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 What are the black dots on the wing undersides, running parallel to the leading edge slats? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyJammedKenny! Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Kev: All I can say is I was privileged to see this at Telford '18, and had I known at the time you had added hydraulic hoses to the gear bays, I would probably have fainted. This is a tour-de-force, a real work of art. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I have no idea, bzn20 would probably know, but they were on the Brooklands VC10 which this model is based upon. 8 hours ago, TheyJammedKenny! said: Kev: All I can say is I was privileged to see this at Telford '18, and had I known at the time you had added hydraulic hoses to the gear bays, I would probably have fainted.

Thanks, I enjoyed making the Airways vacfrom, it can be made into an impressive model, with some modifications, but I don't think I would want to make another one though LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
