Rabbit Leader Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Now that's rather smashing isn't it and all the more impressive that it's been lovingly assembled from such a classic old kit. That's my kind of modelling! Cheers and very well done.. Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Lovely job on this, I'm just ever so very slightly envious, both of this kit & your modelling ability. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head in the clouds. Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 That is right up my street, the paint job is superb and a dash of colour to draw the eye, what's not to like. Oh the good old days !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairtrigger Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Brilliant piece of work.... You would never know it was an old Frog kit, you've turned it into a Prince.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bryanm Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Amazing - you must have done a lot of work on the cockpit and undercarriage as well. Nice to see the drooped nose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John R Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 One of the 'must haves' for my collection but in the 'couldn't face the hassle' building department. Wonder what the Dora Wings version will be like when, or if, it appears John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry1954 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Excellent model. Turning an old FROG model into a superbly finished example is no mean feat. Love it. Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan B Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 What a great result on a very basic kit. i know how much work you must have put into this as I have one somewhere in the pile of shame waiting to be finished some day. Duncan B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.1127 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Beautiful build of a beautiful aircraft. Congrats, Sir. I'm interested in all aircraft with a Cranfield connection, however tenuous the connection might be. In this case the Chief Engineer on the FD2 project was Robert Lickley, who had been the first Professor of Aircraft Design at Cranfield. I digress... thanks for sharing this cracking piece of modelling, P. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
