The Mach 2 VC-10 - What Rough Beast
P.1127 replied to Bangseat's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
Fantastic modelling making on display here, a very determined effort with excellent results so far. Your compressor faces look particularly nice, a great technique there. It's a shame there's so much awry with this kit but you're doing a great job! Jack -
Boeing 314 Pacific Clipper 1/144
P.1127 replied to Vesa Jussila's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
Such a nostalgic kit for me, I had one sitting on a little black stand in my childhood bedroom until the post-university clear out got rid of it. Great story of a great piece of aviation too! I'll follow with delight 😊 Jack -
Short Empire from Sunderland using Adrian's vacu fuselage

Enjoying this a much as I enjoyed your Boeing 314 build. The comparison shown of the Sunderland and Empire fuselages is enlightening. Jack -
Looking better and better and better! Jack

Following along eagerly. I enjoyed your Boeing 314 build immensely and I have no doubt this will be as good! Jack -
I think you're right... I fancied the wings could be modified but not much else of use. I occasionally check auction sites for a damaged or built kit with that in mind. I have admired your Type 1000 build recently, cannot fault it, especially in that livery. Cheers, Jack

I'll follow along, if I may? Solid progress so far, although I can offer no support on the paint front other than expressing sympathy. I've often fancied once of these kits for converting into a "Type 1000" airliner... maybe too much! Thanks for sharing, Jack

Hawker Siddeley Kestrel FGA.1 in 1/72
P.1127 replied to nexus11's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
This both gladdens and saddens my heart. Gladdens because I'm at the sanding / filling ad nauseam stage on my Kestrel built. Saddens because I've only just started and am already 11 months in! -
Hawker Siddeley Kestrel FGA.1 in 1/72
P.1127 replied to nexus11's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
Excellent. I love the Kestrel and am trying something similar with the 1/24 Airfix kit at the moment (there's a thread somewhere...). I'll be watching with interest. Jack -
Handley Page Sparrow 1/72 by Valom
P.1127 replied to AltcarBoB's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
For my money, you've done a great job on this. The model really captures the evocative shape of the aircraft nicely and the landing gear is spot on. Thanks for sharing, Jack -
1/48th Boeing B-52H Stratofortress (Sanger vacuform)
P.1127 replied to tomprobert's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
Hoorah for the Christmas holidays! Glad to see you back at the coal face: watching with interest. Jack -
Orso, that looks pretty good to me. Can you give some more details about the tail? Did you make it yourself? I am aware of the Concorde SST site, which I have enjoyed looking through but couldn't find anything specific relating to the differences G-AXDN and the production aircraft. I may have missed it! Nick, I had to google the HPH Concorde: Wow, what a kit. It definitely looks to be a production machine though rather than machine 101... I think 102 was much closer to a production machine so perhaps it's a good representation of that?!

Hello all, Sorry everyone if this question has been raised and answered before... I searched but couldn't find anything (user error?!). I'm very much looking forward to receiving a Revell boxing of the infamous 1/72 Concorde for Christmas. How do I know so far in advance? I bought it myself for my wife to wrap for me... but it does mean I get to do a bit of planning before the big day. I make an annual visit to Duxford with some students and rather like the livery of the Concorde there, G-AXDN. My question then, is there a definitive list of changes (large and not so large) between the pre-production G-AXDN and the production models? Obvious to me is the shorter tail-cone on G-AXDN compared to the production aircraft and the different engine nozzles? What else have I missed? Is a conversion of the kit back to G-AXDN possible given my mediocre modelling talent (I reference my Kestrel build)? Thanks for looking, Jack
