Captured in Libya and adopted by Air Chief Marshall Sir Harry Broadhurst as a person hack. Minor modifications to Academy 1/72 kit. Sorry for the post with no pictures. I figured out what I was doing wrong! Here it is.

Bigglesworth replied to tomprobert's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
That's a lovely, tidy job. I want one of these! -
Vickers Wellington Mk.1c, 37 Sqn, Greece, 1940
Bigglesworth replied to DaveyGair's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
That's a very nice Wimpy. I certainly appreciate the fantastic job some do on weathering, but I must say that I, too, like a really clean finish. All a matter of taste really. Nice job. -
Another Airfix 1/72nd Bristol Blenheim MkIV!

My display cabinet is envious of your display cabinet! -
Douglas Havoc II Turbinlite, MPM, 1/72
Bigglesworth replied to Touvdal's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Can you imagine, cruising along all safe and cozy-like in the dark when out of nowhere that thing lights up behind you! "Brilliant" build! -
Very pretty! A lovely build of an elegant aircraft.

Airfix Boeing Fortress Mk.III
Bigglesworth replied to NavyWessex's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Lovely job! This one is definitely on my list. I can only hope to approach the quality of yours. Cheers, Mate. PS. pay no attention to the rivet counters -
Captured Messerschmitt Me 262A-1A/U3
Bigglesworth replied to Brad's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Oh does that every scratch an itch! I love captured aircraft, even if they are wearing stars and bars instead of roundels. Lovely build of a fascinating subject. Congrats on the camouflage, which looks daunting.- 8 replies

Airfix Gloster Meteor old style
Bigglesworth replied to stevej60's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Lovely Meteor. The aircraft themselves were simpler in those days, too! I remember when paint was a luxury that pocket money didn't often extend to. -
Airfix 1/72 Whitley GR MkII Coastal Command
Bigglesworth replied to NavyWessex's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
I must admit that I have never much liked the Whitley, as it always looks rather ungainly, but I also must acknowledge its legitimate place in RAF history and, therefore, its legitimacy as a subject for my collection. Your beautiful execution of the Whitley in Coastal Command colours gives it a sturdy dignity that creates a much better impression. I might just have to get one! Thanks for showing what a Whitley can be. -
I would say your seascape skills are A1, not to mention your shipbuilding skills. Makes me want to build ships!

Airfix Me262 Schwalbe Jg7
Bigglesworth replied to Adam Poultney's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Those are really nice. I want to add one to my small collection of captured aircraft in RAF markings. Thanks for sharing your great work. -
Airfix Mitchell Mk II - first one for the New Year
Bigglesworth replied to SimonL's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
It's still 2019 here in British Columbia, but that's a fine looking breakfast, and a fine looking Mitchell. Gotta love Yanks with roundels.- 13 replies

Eduard 1/48 Tempest Mk V series 2
Bigglesworth replied to thepureness's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
That's a hansom beast. I particularly like the understated weathering. Nicely done! -
Luvly! I'm a big fan of clean aircraft, whether that's because the originals were kept that way, or because they came that way from the factory. Could be that I'm too scared to weather my models, but I build 'em clean. Cheers!

Airco DH.9, scratch, 1/48
Bigglesworth replied to JohnHaa's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Gobsmacked! That's just beautiful. Rigging is especially nice. -
If it wasn't for the picture with your hand in it, I wouldn't believe it is 1/72! Very subtle, very nice.
