Trumpeter 1:48 Westland Wyvern S.4

[Shar2]

This is my Trumpeter 1/48 Westland Wyvern S.4 built for the FAA GB, but since I rarely build an aircraft I thought I'd post it here too. Nice build with few problems that weren't made by me.

WIP HERE

Very nice indeed.

Isn't it a lot bigger than you imagine ?

[Shar2]

Thanks Dick. Yes it is, particularly when compared with my Seafire XVII.

[Panzer Vor!!!]

Another top class build chap looks very good

Nice one Dave. I never noticed what I can only presume are RATO bottles strapped underneath.

[SaintsPhil]

A real beaut well done

[ModelMonkey]

Great job, I've got a Seafire XVII to do at some point. Heart says it should be accompanied by a Wyvern but wife/shelf space say no... :-(

[Shar2]

With the wings folded it doesn't take up much space.

Now that is just superb!

[nicE1]

That's really nice!

[bentwaters81tfw]

Excellent. I have a soft spot for the Wyvern. I have a Classic Airframes version to build. Keep wondering whether to change it for the Trumpy one

Job well done.

Interessting to see the torpedo and JATO bottles on the underside.

Question: Was the torpedo an normal configuration!!

I don't think the Torpedo was used, or even fitted very often, but I really liked the concept. The RATO set-up also wasn't used very often, if at all, but with the torpedo and all those rockets I feel it would have need them.

Yay, you got it finished! Great work Dave

[Val]

Great job, she looks brilliant!

[AdrianMF]

Nice one! I'm doing a Frog Wyvern on the Obsolete GB so this is a good reference!
