CarLos Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 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. Carlos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pin Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 (edited) Ok - enough of that - I declare the model finished More Russian vs British view on what is a "heavy bomber" The first and the last British biplane bombers - Vimy and Heyford Edited December 29, 2013 by Pin 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 That's a belter of a model, you should e really proud of it! Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffB Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 What a great result - well worth all the effort! 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 Cliff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pin Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 Thank you fellows Ilya Muromets is an ICM kit - far better than Maquette 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham77 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) 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! Graham Edited January 8, 2014 by Graham77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
