RMCS Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Hi Ben. This week I have been repairing the model you gave to David, TEXT asked me to do it as David has gifted it to the Hawker Typhoon Preservation Group for safe keeping, and to be put on permanent display. Unfortunately it suffered some damage a few years ago, so I have had to rebuild the undercarriage and do some minor touch ups. The quality of your work is first class, it is a superb model, and one I know David treasured! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for making the repairs! Do you know where it will be on display? I'm just coming back to this thread as I changed my web hosting to one with a SSL certificate, so all the images are now show in modern browsers (which now block non-https-hosted images when on a https site). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Brantley Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Awesome model and a great tribute to the pilot and his comrades! To be able to present it to him must've been so moving; congratulations Ben! Mission accomplished! And thanks to Rich for bringing the thread back, and for his restoration. Kudos gentlemen; you've earned them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueNosers352nd Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Nicely done! Just finished that kit middle of last year. Other than those fuselage inserts, that kit is a peach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
