Even if you hadn’t just made it all by yourself. Which you did, which makes it even better. I am in awe of how effortless you’re making this look. 👏👏👏👏 soooo good.

AdrianMF Posted May 2, 2021 Author Share Posted May 2, 2021 And the last job was sticking on twelve exhaust stubs. I printed a decal with black discs to represent the holes in the cowling, then added a pile of these with canopy glue: Paint exhausts next, then varnish and pics. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing that it is reportedly still in existence in a shed somewhere in Leicestershire.

Fritag Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I wish I’d come across this earlier; but I’ve thoroughly enjoyed reading it from start to finish. I’ll add my appreciation if I may: mightily impressive build Adrian, you somehow manage to make scratch-building look stress free! Wonderful model 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianMF Posted May 4, 2021 Author Share Posted May 4, 2021 10 hours ago, Fritag said: stress free Don't you believe it! Mind you, it's nice to know that if you have made a part, you can always make another one if it goes pear-shaped. The surprising and hard bit for me was not so much making the individual shapes, but getting the fuselage, nacelles and flying surfaces angled and aligned properly. A bit more planning next time, I think! Regards, Adrian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul821 Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 I spend a day away from Britmodeller and this build comes to an end. It been a great built with a great outcome. It has been a pleasure to watch and learn from. The Bobsleigh looks like a great candidate for a encore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
