Glenn R Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Hi, guys and gals. I have been looking at Britmodeller for a while now and have decided to try my hand at posting an image or three. As I have just completed my scratchbuilt Fairey Rotodyne, I thought that was a good start - hope you like it. Also, I have a request, does anyone have an I. D. Canberra they are willing to sell me?

Nev Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Scratchbuilt 1/32????????? Amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn R Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 I'll be watching that one, I have one of them to do! Be careful when you assemble the wings on the Wellington, all the panel lines etc. are upside-down eg. the top of the wing has all the panel lines for the underside - as I discovered just before joining the wing halves together.

perry Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Thanks for the warning Glenn, I'll (try to) remember that! Did you scratchbuild the inetrior or buy a detail set? Good to see another 'vac man' on here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see another 'vac man' on here I usually have to scratchbuild the interior as there are no aftermarket items for the models I build. Roberts Model in the USA can supply you with some items, but most have to be modified in some way. Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen any of Geoff Roberts detail sets so not sure what they comprise of or what the quality is like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn R Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 I take it you've got a big display cabinet then!! Yes, but it's full, so when some of the older models begin to look a bit tatty they are reduced to spares and the new ones take their place.
