bigbadbadge Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 (edited) Hi all Amongst quite a few other projects I have been beavering away on this for a while. This is a lovely little kit and goes together well apart from some fettling on the Canopy which was a bit of a so and so. The interior is as per the kit apart from an IP and painted on seatbelts . I have re secribed the very few panel lines. The Dome for the ring ariel is from an AZ Models Airspeed Oxford and the ring ariel is made of 5 amp fuse wire. The antenna wire is invisible thread with Cyano isolators. The prop is from a PM models Beech C45 Expeditor as the Kit one was missing. The Exhaust was home made. The Kit decals were a nightmare and completely disintegrated when they were dipped in water. I would like to say a big Thank You to Beard for coming to my rescue with some spares. I would also like to thank everyone for their kind comments on the WIP. Thank you for popping by. All the best Chris Edited May 28, 2018 by bigbadbadge Added photo of underside 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 I like that Chris, your finish is subtle enough to give it a very convincing "look". Nicely done indeed. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cngaero Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 The old kit has scrubbed up well. You've done a lovely job with what is quite a basic kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadbadge Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share Posted May 28, 2018 Thanks guys. I did really enjoy this one. I have just realised that I forgot to add a shot of the underside. I will add one later. Would love to do a larger scale one. All the best Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bristol boy Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Fine looking result of a rarely seen model. Just done the same yellow training scheme on my Botha, what yellow did you use? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray S Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 What a lovely job on this one! I have the Novo Proctor IV and Miles Magister I in the stash and had been saving them for the potential Frog GB, but may well have to start them before! All the best, Ray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooh about 5 coats of slightly thinned paint as I use the hairy stick to paint. All the best Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
