ho590hm Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Picked up one of these resin monsters at Telford. First impressions very good, although a couple of bubbles to deal with. Much better quality than their Brabazon, where you could see the grain in the wood from the master. Instructions and decals to follow. Beaching gear included. I always remember seeing the mothballed airframes at Cowes and on the Solent before they were scrapped. Howard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatbox8 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Sounds great. Nothing on their website though - or the Brabazon for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinky coffeeboat Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 I'm sure the F-rsin stand had a 1/144 scale Princess on show and it was their own? Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryanm Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Yes - looked very good, in the early all silver scheme, at (I think) £80. I didn't take the plunge. I wonder if the decals will be for the later colour scheme (as shown on the AMG picture) or just the early one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ho590hm Posted November 13, 2019 Author Share Posted November 13, 2019 To be clear the Brabazon was done over a decade ago, and required attention to sand out the grain marks from the wooden master - a job I still need to complete! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
