Latina Sopwith Camel aftermarket build
k5054nz replied to zibbit's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
I'm following with much interest too! My local airfield is home to a company building new Gnome rotaries so they've become even more of a fascination to me. -
We're lucky to have one each Vincent and Vildebeest in New Zealand, they certainly are decent-sized machines! I have this kit in the stash so I'll be following and taking notes.

I volunteer on a P-40 restoration and several of the team use Fusion360 - we have a CNC machine and one of the team has a 3D printer for hobby use - and I've been increasingly curious to learn it. I'd love to build an Allison V1710 in a large scale and this is seriously inspirational stuff. But I know: baby steps!!!

DH.84 Dragon tales - 1/48 Scratchbuild
k5054nz replied to ianwau's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
Simply beautiful work, Ian. It was a joy to follow this project and it brought a smile to my face to see it complete! -
A terrific review, thanks Mike! NZ203, which coincidentally is one of the decal options in this kit, hasn't flown since the late 1980s after an engine issue grounded it and it is unlikely to ever fly again.

What a stunning rendition, well done! The first Starfighter I ever saw (albeit in a museum) was a NASA bird so I approve. Gorgeous work all round! -

This is the first A6M8 build I've seen and it's terrific - seeing it with the original prototype is extra special. Well done!! -

I really like the Spiteful and Seafang and it's always a treat to see one built, especially to such a high standard. I've been umming and ahhing about one of these for a while and you may have just pushed me over the edge!- 12 replies

1/72 J-22 Soko ORAO attack aircraft from new company LITAKI
k5054nz replied to Litaki's topic in The Rumourmonger
As a kid I was fascinated by the Orao, so this is very exciting. It'll be neat to build and display one next to a Jaguar.
