Pinback Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Hi - This is a conversion from the 1/72 Frog/Novo Wallace kit- Work in Progress link below if interested . Big thanks to everyone who supported especially @Ed Russell of Red Roo Models for donating the markings and @Magpie22 for the advise and photos. Really appreciated. Subject was A5 -12 of the RAAF when based at Point Cook in the latter stages of her service.

ColinChipmunkfan Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 That is a really nice Wapiti - the rigging looks superb. Thank you for the WIP so many useful tips and techniques. I too have a Novo Wallace and the intention someday to do the conversion. You have left me with no excuse now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWM Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Very nice ! I am fan of interwar machines who took a part in early days of WW2 or in SCW. So of course I am one of those who did the job to get Wapity and Wallace Mk II from Frog/Novo Wallace kit...

They helped inspire me to kick mine off .

The WIP really helped push me along. The encouragement and help was amazing. I think If I had not done the WIP I would still be faffing around at an early stage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Leader Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I’m sure many of us have ‘thought’ about this conversion, however have been too afraid to tackle it. That’s a wonder result and I must visit your WIP to see how you got there. Congratulations on a great build. Cheers and well modelled..

stevehed Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 That's one hell of a job, particularly the engine. I did one a while back with an Aeroclub Jupiter but left the fuselage length as I wasn't sure which bit needed to be removed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
