Learstang Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Fozzy, before the Bf-110C, I need to build my 1:1 Il-2 Shturmovik. I actually have some real parts to put on that one. Now I just need to get some toothpicks and drink a lot more sodas (a LOT more)! Regards, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomprobert Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Good Lord it's like looking at the real aircraft... Brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzy Posted October 25, 2013 Author Share Posted October 25, 2013 THE BLASTED NORDEN BOMB SIGHT!!!..................... Yes my friends...what a pain this was to scratch build!! ...This was due to the fact that all the data I had on it wasn't clear enough...the photo's were awkward angles etc, in fact I had to build two of them because the first one looked out of scale!! I had to build the sight in two stages ....here is the lower half (and for all those Norden Bomb sight experts out there...I apologize...it was the best that I could do!).... ....and here it is all together....... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony C Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 (edited) Given the materials you use, the quality you achieve always amazes me It would be nice to see your builds in the flesh one day, may at SMW20xx Onwards and upward Foz! PS, Make sure you tell the wife that there will be no trips to the shops, train station, airport or gardening until this is finished Edited October 25, 2013 by Tony C 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wagoneer Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I'm beginning to wonder why you haven't made this 1:1 because what you've produced so far looks pretty real! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's coming on very nicely! We're going to Duxford later this week - are there any areas of the B17 that you need pictures of? Very kind of you to offer Brian but I think I've got it covered....the internet is swamped with B17 pics...fortunately for me!! I'm beginning to wonder why you haven't made this 1:1 because what you've produced so far looks pretty real! The gardens too small!!! Some guys are just born with it...hey I think we are ALL talented here on BM Mirage! Wot MIRAGE says... There is a line in the sand, you regularly drag the rest of us over the bloody thing! Outstanding dude, I can hardly wait for the next installment b Cheers Perdu....might be another installment later if I can this blasted drainage on my house sorted out!!!
