camper1 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 (edited) Hi Folks Busy old time in the assembly shed just now. This one depicts a C45 attached to 724 Squadron of the Fleet Air Arm based at Bankstown in Australia.This aircraft was luckier than some the others based there which were to have been dumped overboard from an aircraft carrier. It was returned to Europe and given to the Italian Air Force. Edited February 5, 2017 by camper1 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polo1112 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Very interesting C-45, a relatively less known aircraft. But your model looks really interesting. Great job you did there !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyot Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) Brilliant job Ian, This Expeditor looks brilliant and is one that I have in my `to do' pile too,........ hope mine turns out as nice. Did you struggle with this kit? I ask because mine was a nightmare and the parts were really brittle, so much so that the thinner parts such as the seat frames were unusable! Cheers Tony Edited February 8, 2017 by tonyot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Kunac-Tabinor Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Now- let me see, its got 2 engines, is silver overall, and was flown by a British pilot - but hang on man, it's not a Meteor!!! Are you feeling OK? That looks really cool Ian - and it agrees with my theory that the application of BPF markings always enhances any subject too. Nice.

camper1 Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 Hi Tony To be honest I threw half this kit away, the etched parts are a pain in the you know what. I sat the seats on pieces of plastic card, you can't see the etch underneath them anyway so why bother with it? The plastic was a bit brittle and did not like liquid poly too much and the parts for the engine bearers were very fiddly and again you can't see them. Go on man get it built, after some of the things you have built it should be an easy one for you. For Jonners,watch this space.
