Popular Post Dunny Posted July 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 26, 2020 Hi All, Here is my effort at Airfix' excellent Wellington GR MkVIII. Here is the WIP if anybody is interested: The kit was built OOB with only Eduard masks for the glazing (a must for this build!). The aircraft was modelled as HX379 of 172 Sqn, based at RAF Chivenor in 1942. Here's a shot of the actual aircraft: It's far from my best build but I'm not unhappy with the final outcome. I'd highly recommend the kit and to my eyes this is a lovely scheme for the Wimpy! Here's a final shot with her Bomber Command stablemate: Thanks for looking, Roger 72 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheyJammedKenny! Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Beautiful Wimpy! I'm really impressed with your work, especially on the canopy and other clear parts. I can see the pilot's harness without any difficulty! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael51 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 That looks great. The paintwork on both is very restrained and to my eye, they are excellent examples of 'scale' treatment, Michael 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
