Solan Goose= Fairey Gannet AS.1/AS.4. Airfix 1/48.
heloman1 replied to Spookytooth's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
Looking suitably Gannety with a full bomb bay and flaps deployed. Getting close... With mu COD build, I've managed to make the long range fuel tanks, using the excellent drawings in the 4+ book, So that will be it for my bomb bay, unless I can find info on other stores pods that might have been carried..

British Airways Fairey Rotodyne! Red Tail Delight!
heloman1 replied to woody37's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
Wow Neil, she's looking superb. I was gobsmacked when I saw the image with the masking still on. Then, when I scrolled down to the reveal, amazed! The scheme really suits the ship, just imagine if t had gone into service? These flying all over the UK and the continent! Colin -
1:72 Fairey Barracuda Mk.II *FINISHED*
heloman1 replied to Dunny's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
Looking good. I like the effect, not too in your face. I've just invested in two bottles of Florry wash, I'm going to attack my Gannet today., see how the re-scribed panel lines show up. Colin- 81 replies

Trim the cheese, drink the beer, make the model. Don't get confused... We used to be able to get some tasty continental beers down here in Sa but sadly no longer. However, on the upside, a new micro-brewery opened almost om my doorstep. Ale and pizza... Happy modelling. Colin -

Hi CC, we had an Angolan 21 at the SAAF Museum AFB Zwartkops near Pretoria. It was recovered during the Border War around the 1980's. Snazzy scheme if I remember, I don't think I have any images of it though. You still have my interest... Colin -
It's been a long road, congratulations, stunning! Colin

My pleasure. I think without Alan, we would have had to stick with the kit parts and refining them. I've modified six sets so far! I'm still trying to find a way to get my hands one some of his goodies. Colin

1:72 Special Hobby Sea Harrier FA.2
heloman1 replied to Navy Bird's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
Shame abut the Pavla cockpit! I have one left to build, a GR Mk3 that was used for deck trial whilst serving with Boscombe Down (?). The IPMS FAA SIG produced a decal set with a Rhino zap on the side, sadly, I missed getting it. Maybe it's not too difficult to hand paint. Then a two seat. Colin -

Coming together very nicely. Did you airbrush the W&N gloss coat and if so did you thin it? Colin -
Looking good Bill, nice work going on here and great video from Chewy. Colin

heloman1 replied to Navy Bird's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
Oooooh Bill, what's not to like about a SHAR build? I like the Am parts you are adding to the project and the Hasegawa wings, much better. Don't think I have ever looked at the Hasegawa kit, last one I built was the Airfix Mk7 and the Fujimi kit. I'll pull a seat up to the bar... Colin -
Great work there Chris, looks like I could get my hands dirty doing some 1:1 maintenance. Alans upgrade parts are just prefect. Colin

Looking good so far, can understand modelling to unwind from the trials of the day. From 700 head of cattle to 7000 head of rivets! Enjoy... Colin
