Strangeways Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 From the Tasman boxing of the old Heller kit. Neon letters/frames were supplied as 3D-printed parts. The kit itself was moulded in really soft, white plastic with lots of warpage so it needed a bit of work. I also replaced the fuselage windows with acetate. Decals from the kit. 46 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 That is astonishingly good! I am building a Heller kit (different subject, but similar vintage) at the moment and I daresay you've done a whole lot of work to get yours looking like that. Interesting application for an aircraft - there presumably was a real plane like this (?). Very cool! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Masters Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 One of the more elegant designs to exit the De Havilland shops. You have certainly done it justice! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruce bay Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Such a beautiful aircraft - one regularly flies over our Sunday League games in East London - and you have done it justice, to say the least! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
