AMB Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) I have just finished the RS Models 1/72 Airspeed Envoy, but wanted to do it as G-AEXX of the King's Flight as used by King Edward VIII between 1937-39. The RS Models kit comes is several difference boxings with different engines and the version modelled is the one with Cheetah engines, which come in resin form. The kit goes together very well with some very fine details and a full cabin interior. The very nice good quality decal sheet is for all military versions - RAF, Spanish and Republic of China Air Forces, but strangely there are no decals for the King's Flight aircraft, which is well documented. Undaunted, I had a Rugrat Resins Envoy kit in my stash, which does have these decals, so I extracted the sheet from this kit and sold the kit without decals, for which my buyer was quite happy about. The Rugrat decals are quite old and frail, which I struggled with, but here is the result that fills a gap in my Royal Flight collection.

AdrianMF Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 That's gorgeous! I love the scheme but without decals I don't think it's a practical proposition. Regards, Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 A very regal-looking aircraft in that beautiful scheme. Excellent job. Clearly, you managed to get those decals to cooperate in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
