Vickers Vimy - COMPLETE


Pin

Recommended Posts

Hi Pin,

Your model looks fantastic! Only one remark: although you made a great work on the wooden props, they were most probably covered with linen and painted grey - at least most part of the blade. Please google for photos of the RAF Museum and Science Museum examples.

Thanks Carlos,

I've studied that - the pics from Windsock show both gray and natural wood props

Some museum machines also exhibit wooden props, although most of the museum birds are replicas

What a great result - well worth all the effort! :thumbsup:

Nice to see the Vimy posed with the other bombers too. I particularly like the Il'ya Muromets - which kit is that Pin? I've got the Maquette offering and possibly might do it for the upcoming WW1 GB (or maybe not!).

Cheers

That's really nice, I've seen some great builds from this era inspiring me to do some research into kits and maybe have a go myself. Looking forward to your next offering, well done!
