AnonymousDFB1 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Had this one on the on and off for a couple of weeks, Only the second biplane I have ever rigged and the first 1:72 This was mainly a test run to see what pitfalls lay ahead when I tackle Airfix's new 1:72 Gladiator. I'm not entirely happy with this one but at least I know what to do on the next. And finally one for scale Thanks for looking 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natter Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Crikey, I'd be happy with that; it's a smasher. What did you use for the silver and what did you rig it with? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plastic Bonsai Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 The rigging looks really good - what worked for you? Got an Airfix Swordfish lurking. My Dad always had a thing about the Fury - he once had a whole squadron at a gunnery camp lined up for take off back to their base waiting for him to deliver the lobsters they had ordered for their mess dinner. It must have been an amazing sight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousDFB1 Posted June 26, 2013 Author Share Posted June 26, 2013 Thanks guys Crikey, I'd be happy with that; it's a smasher. What did you use for the silver and what did you rig it with? I rigged it with the thinnest easyline I could find. very nice looks great, i wont to try abiplane but no way have the skills lol Buy a cheap kit (this one cost me £3) and just go for it. You don't have to show anyone if it doesn't work out The rigging looks really good - what worked for you? Got an Airfix Swordfish lurking.

It must have been an amazing sight. Easyline is what worked, couple of changes I need to make to my technique for the next one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnd Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 You have high standards, Mish. Looks a cracker to me. Anyone know of a supplier of lobsters in 1/72? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am curious having tried a little rigging myself, I'd love to know what worked for you and what you'd change. What you have done looks really good.

AnonymousDFB1 Posted June 26, 2013 Author Share Posted June 26, 2013 Well instead of drilling through the wings and pulling the thread through, glueing then cutting flush and sanding I will use blind holes next time. makes for less work tidying up Crikey, I'd be happy with that; it's a smasher. What did you use for the silver and what did you rig it with? The silver was Alclad II Aluminium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Really nice build I love this kit. I bought a few from modelzone when they were a couple of quid each. Youve made me want to build another one. Regards Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan B Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 What is there not to be pleased with? It is a little stunner, I'd be well chuffed with that result. Duncan B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Cornes Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Lovely bit of work Mish. Is this the old Matchbox kit? You seem to be a dab hand with the Alclad as wlel. I have some but I've not plucked up the courage to try it yet (bought about 3 years ago!) - last I heard was you had to warm your room up to well over 70 degrees otherwise the finish would be no good! I tend to stick with Halfords Aluminium but bipanes with all those struts! Mind you that Gladiator looks lovely! I have a Heller one (which I thought was the b's n' e's) but I may be tempted!!
