Popular Post Saso Krasovec Posted March 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2021 Hi! The model represents the Vickers Vimy in October 1918. It is the fourth prototype of this aircraft and the first to have new Rolls-Royce Eagle engines. The tail section is still old, it only has two larger rudders. At the end of October of the same year, it was used in France. The model is made by Eastern Express, very old casting by Frog. There is almost nothing left of the set in the box, used parts are completely processed, all other parts are scratch-built. I show the construction from beginning to end so that at least a part of the work invested in the model can be seen. The model is 1/72 scale. I used Windsock Datafile Special - Vickers Vimy (J M Bruce) and internet resources. Greetings [/quote] 101 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Holden Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 A magnificent effort to turn that old thing into something which looks as good as a WNW model through the application of real modelling skills. A small thing you may wish to consider: there appears to be a misalignment between the 2 rudders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
