RAS Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 This is my attempt at the Pegasus 1/72 Vickers FB5 Gun Bus. I posted the pictures not because it’ my best ever model but simply because I finished the bloody thing!! Like all Pegasus kits you have to fashion all the 12 FB5 wing struts as well as fabricating the rear tail boom and it is an absolute rigging nightmare. Unfortunately the original decals were useless so replacements came from the spares box. This is my 5th Pegasus kit in 12 months and I have to say that they all require a bit more effort than mainstream models but turn out worth the extra work.

Torbjorn Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Neat - and well done, that’s no easy task. I want a Gunbus, but I think I will scratch it, maybe buying an engine. You have made that conviction stronger with your review of the Pegasus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear Paw Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Well done for completing this and the other 5 Pegasus kits. It is a great result from the starting point. I have done about the same number of Pegasus kits as you and always think they are vague indication of what the aircraft is with bits missing. Always love the subject of the Pegasus kits though.

Britman Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Very nice result there. Pegasus are not everyone's cup of tea but a good result can often be achieved. I am currently working on the very first Pegasus product, that being a conversion kit for two seat Harrier. I am trying to post my first WIP with this project but I am having a bit of trouble as someone used to say. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Oh wow that's awesome, fantastic work. I would love one of these myself. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Nicely done. I've just dug mine out of the stash to start when I finish the FE8. You might want to ask a mod to move the thread to WIP though as this section is for discussion, not models.

Putty Animal Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Nice one. I'm very keen on the Gunbus too. I hope to do one as well, although in my scale its going to have to be a scratch job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Masters Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Nicely done. I think I gave my Gunbus away bit now I might look for one on-line... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
