    I think I will have to try and take it off and lower the front location points.

    Excellent work. It certainly is a beast! I don't know how I missed seeing this. I am building one at the moment. Did you have a problem with fitting the cab unit? Mine is slightly tilted backwards.

    Nice one, it's looking great.

    Neat little diorama.

    Looking great, well done and good progress.

    Ok thanks Chris I am ok for the green now but that idea could come in handy for another of my projects.

    Just checked my personal messages and I found the delete conversation action under 'Options' rather than the three dots.

    Well it certainly worked well, thank you.

    Hi Bill I have another question; what paint did you use for the deck brown? Regards Mick

    I think the worry is that non-metallic weapons can be printed, which will not be picked up on security scanners.

    Thanks Bill. I might also see about building a case for it as well.

    Bill I have another question. What is the length, width and height please? Looking for a suitable storage box for when I build mine. Cheers Mick

    I built this for a vintage classic build my club held. The DR1 was a simple build but the F2b was certainly a challenge although they came out well enough.

    Thanks Bill that is very comprehensive. I bought the photo etch sets for both the carrier and the aircraft. When I get to build it I hope it comes out as good as yours.

    Awesome! and an inspiration for the kit I have up in the loft although I only have 48 aircraft to build! 😁 Are there any gotchas I need to know about the kit before I start it? Mick

    That's coming along nicely. I feel your pain with the Oerlikon barrels, I built Takom's Chieftain marksman that uses the same barrels. Oh in answer to your query, the return rollers do have rubber tyres.

    Thank you BerndM.

    Every one of us is unique 😀

    Thanks Bertie. I feel a Tamiya kit or one of my Eduard Wildcats kits is needed after building these! 😀 The base base is from Coastal kits glued onto a piece of plywood with some window beading round it.

    Thanks Steve. I didn't realise that the kits were so old - the f2b had 1957 moulded on the inside of the fuselage!

    Thanks chaps. I remember building the the Sopwith Camel as a kid and being very disappointed with the size of it. It was the only WW1 aircraft I built. Good point Jungle I did hand paint some Windsor and Newtons acrylic matt varnish on them but it didn't matt down. I was going to try some Mr Color but forgot so thank you for reminding me. The roundels are not the kit ones - they were more grey than blue.

    My local club held a group build recently and the theme was anything from the Airfix classic range. I picked HMS Fearless but, just in case I stalled on it and was in danger of not finishing in time , I also bought the Bristol F2b and Fokker DR1 Dogfighting Double kit. I managed to finish the Fearless, including adding the etch railings and ladders and start this one before time ran out. Looking at the box art I decided to replicate the scene. Here is the box art: and here is the finished kit: Cheers Mick

    Wow that looks great. Well done.
  24. MickE
    Outstanding! That is amazing work, well done.

    Thanks chaps. The only doubt I have is that I have yet to see pictures of an A3 version which is the vehicle used for the C-RAM and there are very few pictures of the C-RAM vehicle itself all a distant shot of the right side.
