djktrumpet Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Not a lot to add to this - but I did a bit of research on G-AEXF for my own 1/48 scale build. In 'The Flight of the Mew Gull', Alex Henshaw describes taking delivery of his plane: "...on the 8th of May Dad drove me by car to Luton to take delivery of the Mew Gull. It sparkled and looked every inch a thoroughbred as it stood alone on the tarmac in front of the factory doors, only a few hours old and re-registered G-AEXF in place of ZS-AHM. The gold letters and wingtips had been changed at my request to racing green". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickinflorida Posted July 23, 2021 Author Share Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) I thougt those of you following and contributing to this thread might enjoy seeing how things turned out. As of this morning, I've completed seven flights with this 1.9m span (1/4 scale) Mew Gull. In the end, I opted to reproduce Henshaw's 1937 edition, more or less, and I'm happy with the results. It looks fantastic in the air. Thanks to everybody who helped! Edited July 24, 2021 by nickinflorida 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
