VH-JEB Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 (edited) I have just completed the 1/72 Ceres - an excellent resin kit made by LiftHere! from Serbia. It is pretty much out-of-the-box but i have added the fuel gauge indicators on the wings either side of the cockpit and the latch for the hopper in front of the cockpit. The leading edge slats are mounted on small staples. The aluminium is Tamiya LP11 and the Dayglo Orange is Mr Color. I could not have done the model to a reasonable standard without the only reference book on the Ceres https://www.amazon.com.au/Commonwealth-Aircraft-Corporation-Ceres-Heavyweight/dp/0994571305 Edited June 17, 2021 by VH-JEB 34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Bunker Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 A nice looking model. I have Derek Buckmaster's book and had thought about making one by converying a Wirraway. Kits normally only come available once I've spent ages doing a conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek_B Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Fabulous! Great to see some of these kits coming together! Nice work Juliet Echo Bravo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianwau Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Excellent work! Coincidentally I finished in 2019 the Superspread Wirraway - the unsuccessful experiment that led to the Ceres (guess that means it was a successful experiment?). Model a conversion from the Special Hobby 1.48 Wirraway kit. Thanks again to @Derek_B for the definitive reference book on the Ceres! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Beautifully done. Even out-of-box, I would not imagine to a be a cake walk for a subject like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k5054nz Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Absolutely gorgeous! I need to get one of these to do as ZK-BSQ, my local operator's example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maginot Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) That's a great result. Worthy subject for a model, the old Ceres. Love the popped slats. In these nasty Covid times, I'd be sorely tempted to refer to it as The Super Spreader. Cheers!
