Don Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Simply gorgeous. If I hadn't read earlier that it was 1/144, I would have guessed this was 1/72. Spotless! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchem Posted September 24, 2016 Author Share Posted September 24, 2016 Many thanks for the kind comments - much appreciated and just the tonic to keep me trying.

She gets pretty steamed up when she switches it on and I've changed the settings to "rotate propellers" On 9/19/2016 at 9:02 PM, Viking said: What a beauty Mike!

Club-mates are putting the squeeze on me to build a Shackleton, but only to see if I can get 8 props on the go at the same time. They'll have to wait until a decent MR3 arrives on the scene.

speedbird340 Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Beautiful model Mike! Love the colour scheme as well. Saw her sister ship ZS-BMH fly last weekend here in Pretoria, it really is a thing of beauty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, really love this DC-4 Mike, absolutely wonderful job you've done on this beauty - hope I didn't miss it last Wednesday? Keith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

celt Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Hi Mitchem,those knitting needles are really sharp you know,they could do some damage to the wall if thrown right,and all the models I have thrown against the wall makes me a better thrower than Eric Bristow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
