VG 33 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Another gem here. This is inspiring as I have a couple of Execuform kits waiting for a start in the basement. Patrick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head in the clouds. Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Your builds are becoming bit of a guilty pleasure for me Moa, I am swinging towards this wonderful period of aviation with all it's weird and wonderful. Keep them coming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Pete Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Another beauty. May I ask, is vac form difficult to build and if so, what are the advantages? About 45 years back I got the Guillows P38 (and actually got the thing to fly!) and it had a few vac-formed parts that were an absolute BEAR to cut with any accuracy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWM Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Very nice build. I have to confess that I have not heard on this type before and it is mass produced (262 of them) WWII type... Regards J-W 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Uncle Pete: I don't find vacs, in general, more difficult than some injected and resin kits (I rather build a vac than a Dujin resin kit, for example). That been said, vacs, like in any other media, come in many flavors, and there are good vacs and not so good ones. I have posted here many, of all kinds. They require the same -and some additional- skills than other media. The advantages, if any, are the subjects they represent and others don't, and the (good) challenge they offer to your modelling skills (that prompted me and taught me to scratchbuild). They have their limitations (as do injected and resin kits) and in general, especially compared to the last generation of injected and resin kits (of good manufacturers, that is) their level of detail and precision is less. I love them and will continue to build them as they represent a different facet of the modeling universe. I am also fond of them because they demand more than just put parts together, and have an extra layer of nostalgia (the same reason we build old Airfix or Heller or Italeri kits). It must be love.

72modeler Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 (edited) Moa, Another one of your excellent vacform models! I remember seeing an N2T-1 at the US Museum of Naval Aviation years ago- I was not aware that it was primarily wood/resin in construction and that the USN ordered 200+ to be used as primary trainers. It's a shame they weren't all metal, as I bet many more would have been preserved and flown on the civil registry. Looks pretty snappy in the red/white scheme! Looks like it was a fun build. 👍 Mike Edited October 20, 2018 by 72modeler corrected spelling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially for my wife when she sees me building them covered in styrene dust 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pheonix Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Somehow I missed this one before. As others have written - another gem from your collection. I must admit that I have not built a vacform, and now I scratchbuild I probably will not do so. P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
