Now THAT is one nice looking Lanc! And also to you Heather, been lurking in the background following along. Grabbing idea's, and appreciating the quality of the models being built. Regards, Pete in RI

Gordon of… Ramleh – Kora 1/72 - Finished
europapete replied to Patrik's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
Patrik, that's what I still do with my failures! I have no "shelf of doom". Only these days I have upgraded to Estes rocket engines. Far more effective. -

Hey Tony! I'll take two if I may 😀 -

europapete replied to Patrik's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
The solution is easy. Get one of those penny balsa rubber band flyers and attatch the rubber band through the fuselage and fit the bright red propeller to the nose! -

That's quite a list, many one offs. Have the Gordon, Seal, and Atlas as 1/72 Vacs. -

Looking good so far Tony ( not that I know ANYTHING about 3D printing mind you 🙃), and I too have the old Contrail vac Gordon in the stash. Will have to check what other aircraft used the Panther. Regards, Pete -

Mitsubishi Ki 67 "Peggy". Kit : old LS in 1/72
europapete replied to MACALAIN's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Hey! I built this this kit! Around the 1860's mind you, when I was a young nipper. Your's came out, I believe, despite the aft looking rose coloured glasses, a LOT better than mine did lololol. -
Cool! Thanks for the heads up Jon

Lancaster Bomber & Spitfire Flypast near Heckmondwike, West Yorkshire
europapete replied to HOUSTON's topic in Aviation Chat
Ahh, kk, thank you. Will let Jon know. -
oh, and don't forget the Aussie versions also........ and then the Sunbeam Arab motors, the USA modified versions, ...........😱

Nice, well done. So, you will need to do a wartime one with the original tail and PC10 / CDL, a Palestine one in PC12, a post war small tail in Silver with all the Arabian and NW Frontier paraphanalia hanging off them, a Mk 4 large tail in silver with wing slats. You had better buy some more kits.

Yes Zac, that will work.👍

Thanks Max, I am really useless at that linking stuff.

Yes, Pip, Medium Sea Grey will work fine. Regards, Pete ps, Bob, I am really crap at posting pictures also. It seems like it takes me hours to do. Just a computer retard I guess. 🤣

Wellllll........going by this black and white photo.......lolol. Google the Shuttleworth Collection and the RAF Museum. Their websites have colour photo's of Brisfits as they are today.

Thank you all for the additional info. Will try using Jadars site again, bought from them many times and always excellent service. And I will check out the above links. Regards, Pete

Ok, now to the model. Engine: Gnome monosoupape 100hp. check out Taurus Models. Kit: No Contest. Wingnut Wings, 1/32 Details: Taurus Models for the Pulsator valve, HGW Models for seat belts and Photo Etch details Eduard .com for photo etch details Aviattic.com for CDL decals Propeller: Properplane.com They make a VERY nice real wood 4 blade prop. References: Albatros Publications monograph on the DH2. Very worthwhile to get for the detailed photo coverage. Cross and Cockade . com detailed book on the DH2 development and service operation. Not too much on the aircraft details. I think it really should have been better in this area. AND.....If you REALLY want to get silly, then check out Aerodrome Aeroplanes kit built DH2. The ULTIMATE DH2 kit! lolol.
