1911 Martin Handasyde, 1/48 Inpact Kit


Recommended Posts

First completion of the year is this 1/48 Inpact kit of the 1911 Martin Handasyde, part of their "Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines" series. Built OOB, but with Aeroclub elastic thread for the rigging and handmade decals. I intend to replace the kit's clear plastic wheels with some PE spokes, but they haven't arrived as yet.

Anyways, the finished article:

This was completed as part of a Secret Santa GB over at UAMF:

Mmmm.... lovely

And makes me want to watch the film again

I always did wonder about the safety aspects of sitting in a low backed chair on top of the fuselage...

I was building one of these a few weeks ago. i was happily rigging it when the wing spars just...crumbled!! I know it was an old kit, but that should'nt happen!
