Ruskin Air Services 940 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Finally over the finish line, nearly asked myself why did I decide to do this conversion with out a little practice first. But it turned out OK: And with a few friends: Model on, boys 31 1 Link to post Share on other sites
TheyJammedKenny! 1,765 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Wow! Nice job--you got it symmetrical and everything. Judging from your collection in the last slide, I'd say you're a bit Dakota Mad. Best regards, Alex 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Someone has done one on the hyperscale website and leading edge did a resin conversion set including decals Link to post Share on other sites

Paul J 9,958 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Nice job. Is there a reason why no fin flash? Just to detour a bit, I am interested in seeing that your shed / mancave is not insulated. Is it not cold or damp during these cold and wet months?/ Link to post Share on other sites
Homer 1,082 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Well done glad you got it across the line,looks great. It would be nice to see those models you have underneath the shelf, you can just see a few peeking out. Excellent job. Link to post Share on other sites

Is it not cold or damp during these cold and wet months?/ TS423 never wore a fin flash sometimes with I think the Cranwell crest when the RAE had use of her. As for shedquarters I have a small heater on a timer that runs for 1/2 an hour every 4 hours and that keeps the damp at bay. Though in about 6 weeks shedquarters 2 will be erected and I will dry line it. Link to post Share on other sites

Originally I boarded out my loft but when summer is here it turned into a right sweatbox so I had a good build shed. Unfortunately this is the other side of shedquarters but when shedquarters 2 arrives this will not happen! 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Homer 1,082 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Thankyou very nice collection, look forward to seeing more 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Paul J 9,958 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 At least you have somewhere to display your builds. All mine are in boxes and now lodge in my new bigger shed. I do have better room to model but no where to show off my work and any other space is taken by my kit stash and household DIY tools etc. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
