LaurieS Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 First ever two model on the go. So much time waiting on the Dakota drying times between paint areas. Fat fellow this one. Proof it was at Jersey Airport. Laurie and the kit 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjaweijfopi4j48 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 This is a wonderful choice! Such an unusual design, and yet a reasonable amount of them was produced and many photos in different liveries are found on the Net. I have built one of these not long ago and posted it here at BM. It is a bit tricky in some areas. You may like to study previous builds of this kit, as it presents a few challenges. In any case the effort pays off, as you get to add to your collection a beautiful rara avis: Humpty-Dumpty's plane! Following. Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Yes it certainly could have transported Billy Bunter. No Chris first dual build. Always found enough to do on one. Normally plan so that happens. In this case managed to strip a number of places of the metal coat. Stupid poor planning should have finished the whitein order not to have to mask the metal coat. I have always worried I will loose interest in one of the two. Laurie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Hi Laurie I like to have a few on the go on my thread and this year I have been doing stalled builds mostly. I will hopefully start a new kit soon that I have been wanting to build for ages , just got to get my current build out the way . I find if you lose Mojo on one you have another to turn to. Good luck with your build fella. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with your build fella. Chris Think we are all of different character Chris. Also depends on circumstances. Very much a blinked person when I am concentrating in model making or any other pursuit. However running an architectural business was totally different. It was certainly a multi tasking enviroment. I suppose because it was essential to be that way. Model making not essential my time is my own where in business it was not. So the essential truth I am weird with a split personality. Saving grace only one wife in 59 years & not lost my mojo in that direction.

SteveMc Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 An interesting choice Laurie. Miles produced some innovative and unusual aircraft in its day. Good luck with the dual build. I have enough trouble keeping track of all the parts for one at a time 😂😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveMc Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 All good in the antipodes Laurie. Just had a few days with grandkids up north. Looking forward to seeing progress on both builds. I've PM'd you with regard to my modelling progress. Cheers Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaurieS Posted November 20, 2020 Author Share Posted November 20, 2020 Decided not to start another kit & break a lifetime rule. Just one kit at a time. But now on the go this is it so far. http:// 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjaweijfopi4j48 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Yes, some not small amount of time has to be spent on the mere preparation of the parts, had the same experience. Fit is not going to be superb either. Better to be psychologically prepared 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not come to close something may explode. Making up my own instructions. Easier I have found to assemble in reverse. Best wishes to you from the "original" Jersey : Channel Isles. A jewel set in a silver sea. (pinched from Shakespeare's quote on England : A stone set in a silver sea) I am an Englishman who invaded this emerald isle, Jersey, for just one year. They have refused emigration & I have had to endure 60 years of interminable beauty.
