theplasticsurgeon Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Commenced last night, this will be a race in itself. Here is the kit - bought at Yate in 2007. This is what the instructions offer. And this is progress so far. And this dark photo shows the actual aircraft in the Science Museum, London.

avro683 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 That's starting to look good. I love those old kits. Yes, they are basic but you could always start and finish them in the same day (some in the same session!) Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theplasticsurgeon Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 And I just discovered some struts are missing - so replaced them with plastic rod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fmk.6john Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 A really nice quick build Tim, I saw this beast earlier on this year at the Science Museum and was struck by how tiny and flimsy looking she was. JB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
