1:72 CMR Blackburn Firebrand TF Mk.V


Recommended Posts

Hi Bill,

As a newbie, I've been catching up with your builds, so not commented much.

Just want to say my thoughts are with you and I'm wishing you all the best and good fortune in the future.

Kind regards,

Mark

PS apologies - I meant to say that the Firebrand looks ace!

Exactly what I was afraid of doing!    :)

 

I also think (after the fact) that now was probably not the best time to fix the flap rails...

Any guesses as to when I knock them off again?    :doh:

 

Cheers,

PS. I just found this box lurking in the depths of my stash - one of CMR's earlier efforts and not quite as detailed as the Firebrand, but with a lot of the same engineering ideas (one piece wing for example):

Hmm...designed during WWII, first flight in 1944, carrier-based attack/strike aircraft and torpedo bomber, lengthy development period, only 151 built, proved troublesome in service, hard to land on deck...sounds a bit like the Firebrand. Maybe I should build this one in tandem with the Blackburn. Thoughts?

I do believe that was Martin's "Hold my Beer" moment.
