Adrian Hills Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share Posted October 25, 2020 FINISHED Building this 1956 1/100 scale kit was an awful lot of fun. Apologies for not doing the other one, but moving house got in the way. Hope you like it Glad I got it in within the deadline. I might and one or two more detailed pictures tomorrow. I'm also a racing cyclist and bike mechanic so just celebrating a fellow London mechanic who has just won the Tour of Italy 🙂 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CliffB Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Congratulations on bringing this one in Adrian Following the start of your build, I had decided to put my kit back on eBay. Having seen your finished result though, I've changed my mind! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bear in mind I did add glazing to the ventral gondola. Be very wary of the props as the plastic on mine was so soft it was basically unworkable. If you use external glazing like me don’t use basic masking tape as it is too textured. Maybe a smooth plastic. But above all have fun 😊 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 The He111, a Ju 88 and a Ju52 were on the bay last week. I was tempted..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 That did turn out nice in the end, far better than I expected in the early days. Thanks to @Greg Law for reviving the thread after I lost site of it, it has been a year for that. Maybe Covid, maybe creeping old age. Steve.

Adrian Hills Posted December 11, 2020 Author Share Posted December 11, 2020 Thanks for the many kind words. The He111 was a lot of fun and I realised early on it wouldn’t be particularly accurate - but perhaps that is what makes one more free to enjoy the build 😊😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
