Great choice Ced. They are pretty rare to find it seems unless you are prepared to part with big bucks. Always fancied doing a Kestrel. Must put that on the wishlist. Terry Not found these kits that rare or expensive. I have three in my stash and a Heritage Kestral as well. This build might just persuade me to build one of them.

perdu Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Little ice cream tubs with wee wooden spoons, heavenly. Licking the scraped out ice creamy waxed cardboard too, just to obtain all of a rare childhood treat then nibble away the spoon too. I didn't like Kia-Ora either. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very good place to start. I have searched (half-heartedly I admit because it is modelling and I have quite reasonable recall for old modelling projects) amongst the depths of my spares boxes hoping to find it.

perdu Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Some may wonder why Bill is getting so involved Most will recognise guilt in action (I swears I didn't know there was anything missing but I do feel very guilty about it. I could have sent Ced the newer kit that resides in my cupboard but but by a whim I thought "give the bloke a really old one to play with") 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CedB Posted November 24, 2020 Author Share Posted November 24, 2020 Right, dogfight double finished! Now I can concentrate on this one. Found a great picture with the pose I'd like to replicate: (From Historynet.com, all rights acknowledged) First job is to cut the flaps I guess. Gulp. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianMF Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 And here am I thinking about restarting the one I failed to complete in the Helis/VSTOL GB in the latest KUTA GB. Are you finished yet, Ced? I need some inspiration! Regards, Adrian 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedB Posted November 24, 2020 Author Share Posted November 24, 2020 Thanks Adrian Do it! Do it! I have started. Wings glued together ready for the flap removal (still gulp). There's a 'hinge' moulded into the flap gap. Grrnngh. I've also started cleaning the other bits: Shiny old Airfix plastic. Lovely. The trouble with this is, when you clean off the flash, you get a different coloured line that looks like flash: That IS smooth - as good as it gets. Another trouble with this is that CA won't stick it to sticks. You have to score your bottom - fnaar! What colours for him then? 1960s. Test pilot? Help please… Edit: Just had a Google for images of 1960s test pilots. Black and white it is 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
