Shar2 2,884 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 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 10 Link to post Share on other sites
jenko 5,105 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Very nice indeed. Isn't it a lot bigger than you imagine ? Link to post Share on other sites
Shar2 2,884 Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 Thanks Dick. Yes it is, particularly when compared with my Seafire XVII. Link to post Share on other sites

snapper_city 3,186 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Nice one Dave. I never noticed what I can only presume are RATO bottles strapped underneath. Link to post Share on other sites

ModelMonkey 144 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 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... :-( Link to post Share on other sites
Shar2 2,884 Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 With the wings folded it doesn't take up much space. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

bentwaters81tfw 6,748 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 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 Link to post Share on other sites
Orion 1,150 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Job well done. Interessting to see the torpedo and JATO bottles on the underside. Question: Was the torpedo an normal configuration!! Regards, Dirk The Netherlands Link to post Share on other sites
Shar2 2,884 Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 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. Link to post Share on other sites
