Zigomar Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 (edited) Not a 109! But two Fairey Albacores. One is gone when my shelves tumbled down some years ago destroying about half of my collection! So here is a mix of both models! Cheers.

ForestFan Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Wow! Great build and finish, very realistic.Any issues with the build? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_W Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Very nice build. A bit like the Blackburn Shark, eclipsed by the Swordfish and mostly forgotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bristol boy Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 That's an excellent model, particularly impressed by your framing. I assume it's 1/72 but could be larger, whose make is the kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zigomar Posted September 30, 2017 Author Share Posted September 30, 2017 It is written in the title! Special Hobby 1/48th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I can see, on closer inspection there's a tag that says SH 1/48, but nothing in the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWM Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Very nice! 2 hours ago, Zigomar said: It is written in the title! In title what is displaying it is only " Fairey Albacore". I was hoping, that it is no 1/72 . That would be depressing... Congrats! J-W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJP Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Shelves tumbling down and all those broken models would be an absolute nightmare - this Albacore however is a great resurrection - nice weathering too CJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzby061 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Very nice indeed, not something we see very often here. Excellent painting & weathering. I share your pain regarding the shelves. I use the attic as a modelling room & when the house was re-roofed I didn't put my models away in strong enough boxes. In a contest between roof tiles & plastic kits there's only going to be one winner. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Hello Zigomar, Same as with the two Firefly's, the Albacore is done magnificent. Interesting, how you can always recognize "British Design" ! Regards, Orion / The Netherlands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
