Bill Bunting Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) It's been another long while since I have posted anything here - I guess I have too many home projects! A pair of 1/72 Airfix kits. Neither will see a competition table for sure! The T.F. X is the wrong grey - Ocean Grey (it should be Extra Dark Sea Grey) over Sky (Xatracrylx paints). The T.F. 10 has no crew! (long story but let's just say if you're building 2 at once - make sure the right belly pan goes on the right airplane!) It is EDSG over Sky (Gunze acrylic paints). Fit is pretty good on the kits, details are noce too. I can't judge the accuracy but I like them for sure! Well here they are...

All the best mate Tony I have tried to redo the links, there should be 6 pics now. I hope it worked. We are all well here, not much flying though. Just a couple flights in the Fleet Canuck. The Cornell hasn't been up. Most sad is that I was to be training in the Tiger Moth by now but no go for now. Also we acquired an Auster A.O.P. VI last November but it too is not flying until this lockdown is over. I hope before the end of the year but I guess we will see. We've done some renos around the house and gardening is starting (it was -5C 3 days ago!). Just a bit of time to do models in all this though. Oh well. Hope that you and the family are well. Cheers!

That worked! That's a nice pair you've got there. Sorry to hear about the lack of air time. A flight in a Tiger Moth would be great!

Michael51 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Great looking Beaus. I shouldn't be too concerned with the grey: 'scale colours' seem okay to me, Really nice work, Michael 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I currently fly their 1943 PT-26 Cornell and am set to get checked out and flying the 1943 Moth when we can get back to a more normal situation. She's a beauty and one of only 3 in Canada that the public can buy a ride in. Cheers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One in a 1940 WACO UPF-7 at The Reynolds Museum, at Wetaskiwin Alberta, and another in a 1931 Travelaire in Southern California. Chris 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempestwulf Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Loving it, especially as the T.Mk X is a Kiwi squadron. Great looking Beau's in my book 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
