S5 modeller Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Hi. I'm starting this thread for my wife's build. She will be attempting her first kit, and this seems the ideal time for her to try. She will be building, with some gentle pointers from me, a dehavilland vampire t11. I reccomended this kit as it is a skill level 1 and a recent new tooling. Hopefully the build will be fairly problem free. She will be using the same basic tools as me. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S5 modeller Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 (edited) My wife thanks you Darren. She's looking forward to it. We're taking both if our builds with us on holiday to skegness next week, so should be plenty of updates.

Rob G Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Hopefully she'll not be using the exact same tools as you, or there could be tears. And if you're going to Skegness, you'll have lots of free modelling time, surely? I'll be watching to see how she manages her T.11, as my youngest brother and myself are doing a pigeon pair of that kit for this GB (if they ever arrive...).

S5 modeller Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 Hi chaps. Posting an update for the wife. We've had a goid evening, on monday, spent about 3 hours building together. So far she has built up a majority of the cockpit, completed the jet intake pipes,and assembled the tail booms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawker's Hound Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 (edited) Haha. I see she followed the instructions and put the main oleos in when putting the booms together. I wish I could read. Edited March 29, 2016 by Hawker's Hound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
