modelglue Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I'd like to join in on the congratulatory remarks as well, that is quite the stunning model. I read through the full build before coming back to reply to your RfI, and had a moment of realisation. I will absolutely need those Aeroclub nacelles after seeing the comparison. When I saw the kit radiator openings next to the club parts, I thought I could maybe work with them... But that all stopped when I saw the prop and spinner comparison. Although I really enjoy the look of the Z nose, I doubt I'll spring for one as well as the nacelles. Seeing yours is good enough for me! Thanks for presenting us with your process and finished masterpiece, it is truly a joy to read the build and see the results. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandy Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I can't add anything to what's already been said. Absolutely gorgeous, plus a great background story. Altogether a very nice tribute to the crews who " simply went missing".... Ian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radleigh Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Really nice mate, will this be at Huddersfield? I can't remember if I've asked on the build thread. Good to catch up over the weekend. I wanted to ask you something about this but totally forgot and forgotten what it was now... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianMF Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) Super job. Love the restrained weathering (on a largely white aircraft too) and the Aeroclub engines look super too. Presumably the depth charges went in the wing bomb bays? Regards, Adrian Edited January 24, 2017 by AdrianMF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we need a 4 engined heavy sig, with these and the various off shoots, there would be a great display! 10 hours ago, AdrianMF said: Super job.

perdu Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I kinda hope there isn't to be a Coastal SIG, I''d feel duty bound to model any of the late war Sunderlands at Pembroke Dock in memory of my dad's service there and any of the Cats that sometimes borrowed crew members if there was need* Dad said* I can't discuss it with him any more... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radleigh Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Sounds like we need a 4 pistons SIG...? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody37 Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 Both ideas seem good, if I had time, I'd like to have more CC and civvy versions of the wartime 4 engines aircraft built, not to mention some of the weird and wonderful test beds for jet engines on the Lanc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatbox8 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 That's a superb looking Halifax. A great finish and weathering and those replacement parts were definitely worth the effort. Good to see a Coastal version too as they seem to be a bit of a Cinderella service compared to Fighter and Bomber Command but did so much to secure these Isles. I particularly like this scheme.
