Rizzo Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I've finally finished this one after leaving it almost finished for the last half a year... got a bit burnt out with stripey winged aircraft. It's the last of a group of four 1956 HMS Eagle aircraft I've been working on for a while now. The Wyvern looks like it's in the wrong scale next to the Sea Venom and Sea Hawk though, it almost makes that lump of a Skyraider look dainty! It's the Trumpeter kit... I thought it was ok, but a bit boring to make. The rivet detail isn't so bad under paint, but the rest of the detail is quite clunky and toy like in places. I much preferred their Sea Hawk. I also used the CMK wingfolds and wheels- the kit really needs the detail these provide, and they fit great. The other aircraft are the Aeroclub Sea Venom, Trumpeter Sea Hawk, and a mix of Tamiya and ESCI Skyraider 44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edge Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Lovely builds of my favourite subjects. You're right about the size of the Wyvern too - I hadn't realised it was such a brute! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nomore Shelfspace Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Spectacular set of Naval planes! Also surprised to see the Wyvern is bigger than a Skyraider, itself no wimp... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Beautiful addition to a brilliant collection! It's a pity that the FAA didn't do the Skyraider in the DSG over Sky finish - I think that would have looked a treat (or did they?)!

Bill57 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Sweet line up. Nicely made and photographed. You just got to love the FAA colour scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breaker Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Nice one Rizzo! Think this is going to be my next build as well with some resin goodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 What a fantastic line up! For a single-engined prop aircraft, it's massive! I had no idea until when I saw them compared to the rest of the, rather superb, other aircraft in your collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzby061 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Great job, I do like the Wyvern. Might even finish my Dynavector vacform some day. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 That's a really cool Wyvern! Like you say, the wingfolds really add to the general impression of a detailed model, acting as an alibi for the rest. Great finish – and who cannot love a plane with contra-rotating props? Superb modelling. Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
