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

Mine is the Type 10C box

 

Looking forward to this one, Ratch. The Airfix packaging / box art history is a study in itself! I see you ended up with a 'sanitised' version too!

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!

This will all be done with a hairy stick

I take it the pontoon is from '44 - did these last that long 🤔

Phew - saved again :winkgrin:

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.

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.. Dave
