warreni Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 ** WARNING ** DO NOT INSPECT TOO CLOSELY!! 😁 Finished after a huge struggle, lots of filler and a mask set that didn't really work very well.. It's the only game in town which is why I got it in the first place. 70 grams of weight in the nose to stop it being a tail sitter. Only recommended for the experienced modeller.

Lightpainter Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Now that is one you do not see a lot! Good job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theplasticsurgeon Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Good to see Warren - and thanks for sharing. As others have said, a rare beast indeed. A beast that is alive and well in my stash, these were built by Gloster at Hucclecote, thus a kit from Jet Age has passed my way. Now that has to be worked into the BM GB schedule likely to be announced when the bunfight closes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Hi Warren, top notch build of a nice, if overlooked plane. 70 grams of lead! I wonder what the life expectancy of the undercarriage is? Great show!!! JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 A somewhat rare subject nice done! I'm sure these Valom kits don't "build themselves" by any means. Well done! As for nose weight, I'm reminded of a P-38 Lighting build of mine - on picking it up, it feels like a diecast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rapid Rich Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 My Dad was in the very first plane to drop on D-Day which was an Albemarle from RAF Harwell. 295 Squadron 1740 8 ZA Flew by Sq Ldr Merrick. His full story is here and so is my bike ride in his memory . I set off from the end of the Runway at RAF Harwell. One of the Valom Models has his planes numbers on it !!
