Brigbeale Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 (edited) I purchased this model from my usual seller on EBay for about £4 as I remember. It was pretty much intact with a few bits broken off/missing, but on the whole pretty much intact. The fact both propellers were present, albeit with one broken off, swung the decision to buy for me. This is how I bought it. During the dripping/deconstruction process a couple of parts broke - namely the port fuselage half and the port upper wing half. They repaired reasonably well and are only really noticeable to me as I know they’re there (and you now). This is the WIP which was interrupted by more trips to the hospital for complications following my gall bladder removal operation. I finished the restoration last night and I’m happy with the result.

As well you should be - it's a beautifull result! Not an easy restauration, but I'd say you've pulled it off in a good way!

Bertie McBoatface Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 I like that a lot. A rescued model. I actually like the original one too, as it reminds me of my build soooo many years ago. Thank you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 An excellent restoration - the result is your reward for what (I assume) must have been a lot of effort. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
