mahavelona replied to Homebee's topic in The Rumourmonger
Seems like a logical extension of their successful 1/32 biplane line. -
Look forward to seeing this come together.

This is stunning work. Really amazing. What do you use to anchor the rigging lines? An eyelet? -
Well this looks lovely. I will get one.

Those Copper state wheels look amazing. Where did you order them from I was not aware these were available? -

Really nice model -
HI Britmodellers, I am excited to present a build of the Airfix 1/48 Vampire with the brand new WellsProp conversion kit to make an FB.6. After the great success of the FB.1 conversion WellsProp hat offered another drop in conversion which allows us to make some seriously cool Swiss airframes... I'll be using the Matterhorn Circle decal set to make J-1102 with a sharkmouth. This marking was added at the end of her long service life. As you see this means we will also be fading the dayglo orange. The decals were available from Hannants and the sheet covers multiple subjects - the below is just a hint. The FB.6 involved a new nose and was also upgraded with Martin Baker ejection seats. These are provided as direct replacement for the kit parts. The quality is really nice and WellsProp's parts fit very nicely into the kit. You also get the late wheels. I have cleaned the mould release agent off using dish soap in this image. As 3D printed parts it's important to do this. I only had to fettle the locating hole in the nose undercarriage bay a little to get the kit to accept the new cockpit. Here's a dry run without the undercarriage bay parts: The new seat meant moving it further back and hence the cockpit has an inset. It's easy to cut a small amount from the kit upper fuselage to account for this. Looking forward to progressing this one.

1/32 Hawker Sea Fury DB Model Kits - Announced!
mahavelona replied to wellsprop's topic in The Rumourmonger
Had a good chat with the DBMK guys yesterday at the stand at Telford. They have a great philosophy of accuracy first but also buildabilty - the inclusion of good engineering like wing spars etc. in design of the kits. All very exciting! -
They have a buyer in me if the kit is up to scratch with their contemporary Ukrainian manufacturers who are tackling interwar British subjects!

Beaufort Mk Ia ? and Beauforts in South East Asia Command
mahavelona replied to russ c's topic in Aircraft WWII
Hmm, I am convincing myself I can see a camouflage demarcation... Hard to say isn't it. Perhaps this makes more sense to my mind than a monotone scheme which does not fit with any standards. -
Looks fantastic

Is this the same 'SNAKE' scheme which appears in the Xtradecals set?
