Rabbit Leader Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Nice to see you here Ratch, I knew it would'nt be too long before you graced us with another Airfix build. It will be good to see this one done. I've never built it, nor seen the plastic so look forward to your progress. Cheers.. Dave 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Airfix packaging / box art history is a study in itself! I see you ended up with a 'sanitised' version too! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Hi Ratch, this is a great plane and the kit is not too bad looking! A lot of potential! Mine is in white plastic... not the greatest color... for another GB, I guess! Have fun! JR 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Leader Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Wow - spend two crappy days at work without enough quality time to catch up on this GB and some of these builds are really taking shape. Good going Ratch. I quite like the look of this thing, although those upper wing fabric ribs do look a little heavy. I suppose the next time I look, you'll be decalling and marking an early spot in the GB gallery! Cheers.. Dave. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Leader Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Lots of lumps and bumps to like about this brute of a bi-plane. You’ve built a great kit there Ratch and should I see one going for a few bob, I’ll probably nab it thanks to this build. Cheers and nice gallery entry..
