Nice. 

 

Before anyone else jumps on it, it’s Roland Beamont. No "u", though I noticed my iDevice's autocorrect tried to add it.

Congratulations on a mighty fine Frog combination there Tony. This is a really lovely addition to this classic kit GB and still looks good some 50 years after first being released. Your contributions are both extensive and rather exceptional. 

 

Cheers and many thanks.. Dave

Hi Tony

This looks absolutely stunning, great work , I remember having a few kits with the clear spinning props in the 1970s and this brings childhood memories flooding back. Brilliant.

Thank you.

A great build

All the best

I just found this as I had a memory of Frog issuing a kit with a clear disc as a prop.   I think this is the only kit they did that with IIRC.  It looks as though it works at least as well as any more modern attempt to reproduce a spinning prop and I love your build and the idea of matching it up with the V1 and base from the Spit XIV kit.  Lovely.

I think it 1968 ( possibly '69 ) when I got mine. I took a pass on the clear disc, though.
