Rizzo Posted October 6, 2013 Author Share Posted October 6, 2013 Thanks very much guys It's a great scale for these little aircaft I think. I'm addicted to 1/48 FAA jets at the moment, but think I'll make a Brisfit in a similar style to this one next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdrianMF Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Wow! That is very nice! The Camel is still surprisingly small even in 1/16. Cat + model + case = happiness Cat + model + no case = ... Regards, Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Outstanding.......pardon the daft question but curious to know about the small model looking engine on the wing......with the small prop Rgds Mr b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizzo Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 Outstanding.......pardon the daft question but curious to know about the small model looking engine on the wing......with the small prop Rgds Mr b It's a Rotherham Pump. Before starting the engine the pilot adds pressure to the fuel system with the hand pump (it's to the right of the seat), and once the engine's running that little propellor is enough to then keep the fuel system pressurised.

Tbolt Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Masterpiece! A really great looking model. It might be a well made case, but I would be a bit nervous letting a cat sit on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_the_drummer Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 That's absolutely beautiful. Seriously - wonderful modelling skills and a fantastic finish. I honestly don't know if I'll ever have the patience required to produce something like that, but it's such an inspiring build that it might get me thinking! I doff my hat to your skills - stunning work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
