Ratch

Nice work Ratch, it just doesn't look like it can fly, that gunners position at the front must have been scary on landing!.

Cheers. I think its a bit of an ugly sister myself :sick: I bought it by accident - I actually want a Hereford (well they both begin with H) :shithappens:

Well it's not the most esthetically pleasing aircraft, true, however I think that it, rather like the Swordfish has a certain appeal about it all it's own. It would surely never be mistaken for any other aircraft! :winkgrin:

That looks very nice for that old Matchbox kit did you manage to get the NIVO colour paint or is that a mix?

Built it myself many times.

Cheers Ted :D that's Xtracolor X20 Pre-war NIVO :winkgrin:

Very nice. Don't think I would have the patience with that one.

:goodjob:

Hey Mish, I actually started it on 25th Jan, so it was knocked out in 17 days :analintruder:

Most of that time was waiting for each of the three coats of NIVO to dry, and working between other builds :banghead:

The crew positions remind me of the Vulture Squadron (Stop That Pidgeon) :tease:

Thanks for all the comments :speak_cool:

Nice Heyford Ratch. Was it an easy build?

No major fit issues, just a bit of filler here and there :speak_cool:

Glad to see the glass has made a return to the forum too.... :tease:

I knew you'd missed it :crap:

Nice Heyford! Does anyone besides me think Classic Airframes REALLY needs to do a 1/48 Heyford?? And a Wellesley??

Great looking model!

Count me in! And anyother preWWII bomber/fighter/oh what the heck, ANYTHING!
