Head in the clouds. Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Top draw modelling and a cracking back story to allow us an idea of what we are looking at. Thank god there are folks like you keeping these wonderful machines in the modelling and public eye, they should not be forgotten for being lesser types. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweener Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Is that the FROG Vimy wing by chance? Nice use of it if so. And a great build as always. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ay ay ay, Tweener, look at the photos posted above of the work-in-progress, it's all styrene sheet. Now go and write on the blackboard twenty times (I am feeling magnanimous today): "I have to read the full post" 😉   1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll write it 30 times out of respect for pulling that off! God knows I would have looked to other kits long before scratching a wing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is indeed: The brand is Airframe (I have built a few, they are ok), in 1/72. You may have a very hard to get kit in your hands. Make it justice. Cheers.

Abandoned kits are the main concern of the Department, and our mission is to provide them with a new home, where they will be nurtured and can finally grow into healthy models. You have now three days to build it, or turn it to the authorities. Resistance is futile. Â No Kit Left Behind. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murdo Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Wooooooo! Missed this the first time around, thanks for posting another Moa Classic!  Your builds are incredibly neat and clean.  I also love your subject aircraft, they are so completely "outside the box" thinking and engineering. At first I thought you just made them up for a laugh.  Brilliant modelling! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this particular case, "outside the box" meant...a sort of corrugated box! 😄  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beautifully rendered in all respects sir. Thanks Baron, you are more than kind. It's a model built time ago. I should probably re-photograph it when I have the chance, though, to show more angles and so provide a better impression of its configuration and size.
