Shalako Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Hello lads, I was recently given this kit - Westland PV-1, in 1/72 (it's the Maquette kit but, I think its the old Frog) to built it for a friend and I was wondering if anyone could suggest an aftermarket detail set, either resin or etched, that I could use/modify, in order to build the kit's cockpit as well, add other internal/external details. Moreover, does anyone know a website and/or blog that I could look for photos of the actual aircraft (cockpit, etc.). Many Thanks. Shalako Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beefy Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 This might help reference the build https://modelingmadness.com/review/preww2/gb/burstwal.htm http://www.arcair.com/Fea1/801-900/Fea870-Wallace-Singh/00.shtm http://wingsofintent.blogspot.co.uk/2016/08/everest-expedition-westland-pv-3-pv-6.html Radial Engine http://www.cmrmodels.co.uk/Radial-engines+wheels72/REW72002.html Hope this helps. Good luck with your build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossm Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 There is the fuselage of one in the RAF museum - some photos here https://abpic.co.uk/pictures/model/Westland Wallace II One of the more difficult things to do is the Townend ring cowling round the engine which has a bulge in it. Not even the Aeroclub E045 engine for the Wallace had this bulge so I think you're on your own for that. I have a build of one in mind but haven't figured that bit out yet.

Don McIntyre Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Sadly, I don't ever recall seeing much at all in the way of resin detail bits specifically for Frog kits. I think they're just too old and many have been replaced by better kits, so the aftermarket guys may not feel there's a big enough market for aftermarket sets for these oldies but goodies.

Britman Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Am I correct in thinking that the Wallace has been removed from Hendon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWM Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 I have soft spot on this old kit. This is a very nice model, of course old Frog mould. With some scratch build detailing one can do from this set variants of Wapiti or Wallace Mk I or even Mk II. I did it one, if you want to see it is here; I hope you like it Cheers J-W 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
