Redboost Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Hello fellow modellers, does anyone have a good close-up pictures of the Wellington exhausts? I'm after any type they had. Any helps is much appreciated! Cheers Libor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72modeler Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Libor, Until one of our resident experts replies, see if these help. Do you have a specific variant in mind?

dogsbody Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 It's hard to find good, clear pictures of the exhaust pipes of Hercules-powered Wellingtons because the pipes are on the fuselage facing side of the nacelles. Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWM Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 If you just google wellington you get mostly models. I googled "wellington mk 1 1940" and I've got some interesting photos of Mk 1 http://www.lotnictwopolskie.org.pl/nasze.artykuly.PSP.WM.03.html and so on... I hope it helps Refaerds J-W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redboost Posted August 24, 2018 Author Share Posted August 24, 2018 Hello Roman, good luck with yours! My build won't be finished any soon though as it is in the pipeline for the end of this year at the soonest. Cheers Libor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogsbody Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Judging by your past builds, I'm betting your Wellington will be fantastic. I await. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redboost Posted August 24, 2018 Author Share Posted August 24, 2018 Hi Chris, thanks, hope you'll enjoy it! (it should come more than a kit build, but can!t promise more at the moment). Cheers Libor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
