gamevender Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 This is one of the venerable old Aurora WW I aircraft kits. Goes together well, but, of course, not up to what most would expect today. I added a basic interior and had to replace the decals because they had gone beyond yellow to brown. 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Wow, that takes me back! Woolworths carried these kits for a while in the 1970s and I bought this one. It came with a vacform base, if I remember correctly. Lovely job. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnT Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Some impressive upgrading in those modelling skills applied. Nice one And when you tell kids today that all you had back then to make a Lancaster was a block of balsa, your Dads old rusty pen knife, dope and talc and Britfix glue out of a tube they just don’t believe you (apologies to Python lover’s everywhere) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toryu Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Splendid in its simplicity! You did a wonderful job with the engine and cowling and the rigging, and a very neat finish overall. As I say: Building the latest super kit means assembling, restoring a vintage kit means modelling, (and scratch-building is an art) 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatbox8 Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Very nice. A great result from what must be a very basic kit, judging by its age. Nice work on the rigging as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
