AdrianMF Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Hello All, I might as well get my cards on the table and declare an interest in building the Novo repop of the Frog Miles Master Mk III. Here’s a picture of the contents and the box: I have done some work to taper the rear fuselage a bit and to thin down the fin. Although the kit has some issues, I have to say that it fits together well nigh perfectly. This is a dry fit with no glue anywhere, and I wouldn’t even need the tape if I hadn’t sanded the fuselage halves a bit thinner: Thanks for looking, Adrian 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianMF Posted May 4, 2019 Author Share Posted May 4, 2019 While other Master is drying I thought I would dig out the instructor’s canopy section and either pose it open or replace it with something more flush: The central panel of the windscreen is a bit crazed where it was attached to the sprue so I might cut that out too and replace with a piece of clear plastic. Thanks for looking, Adrian 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianMF Posted May 4, 2019 Author Share Posted May 4, 2019 I’ve got a few trainers to make so I thought I would get a seat production line going. They are a tad too wide (6mm) but I have to fill the wide fuselage somehow! Thanks for looking, Adrian 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Another thread I'm keen to follow, having a couple of these, one to get a Blenheim engine as a Mk II. You are a good chap to be so obliging & take another for the team as it were. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although with the Oxford I already have three on the go and I am slammed for time this month, so a Mk II (and a Martinet conversion) might have to wait a while...

hacker Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 ok going to watch this one too. l believe the Eastern Express is the same kit. Meanwhile Dora Wings is coming out with the Mk 1 you just finished. Hacker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the Dora Wings Percival Gull and it is beautiful. The Pegasus kit had quite a few - er - issues and the final build is compromised to say the least. I’m sure the Dora one will be great but I don’t think I will be getting it, sadly. Eastern Express did re-pop a lot of Frog moulds. I will get back to this after the Airspeed Oxford, which I’m doing to have a brief break from Masters. Regards, Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
