TonyTiger66 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 AZ promised to rectify the Valom transparency issue and it looks like they have; rather magnificently . A lovely model, very nicely built and presented. I think that when my bank account permits a maritime version will be purchased! Great stuff TonyT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatbox8 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Very nice indeed. Shows off the Hampden's somewhat unusual lines beautifully. Did you make the nose art yourself? Going to have to get one of these I think. I was always put off by the Valom release because I'd heard the transparencies were a nightmare.

Nice build Thanks Woody but I don't feel it's as good as yours. Yes the transparencies are from the kit. Most fit well but the cockpit one was not the best.

I've realised that you have many times more Canadian models finished than me and it's time I did something about it. Feeling a little patriotic now.

Knight_Flyer Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Very nice build and paint finish. Quite tempted to get one as well, always liked the look of the Hampden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you happen to find out who piloted this aircraft? I've been interested in Goose since meeting the late Bob Gall's wife in 2010. Hello and cheers from chilly St Thomas.

Bill Bunting Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 Thanks for the kind words. The pilot was WJ Burnett born in Fredericton NB. He joined the RAF and fly Hampdens with 49 Sqn before going to 408. I found this info about the aircraft and a crash. http://www.49squadron.co.uk/personnel_index/detail/Burnett_WJ and this on RAFweb http://www.rafweb.org/Biographies/Burnett_WJ.htm Chilly and snowy up here in the Beach.

woody37 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I reckon the windscreen can be best solved with the Falcon part but as long as the rest of the clear parts fit ok, that's a great improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
