For the King's Shilling: A Royal Aircraft Factory FE2b


Recommended Posts

Ok you can come clean with us.  You “photo shopped” the coin and your hand in the picture because that IS A REAL FE.2b!!!!!!  The level of detail and precision is incredible and this is one of the finest works of art on this website.  :worthy:

Right. Here I was expecting: "Oh, it's probably one of those nice big kits from Wingnut Wings. Dang, those wires would really drive me crazy. Great models though!"

And then; that shilling, 1/144. Scratchbuilt. Scrolling up and down in bewilderment.
This has to be one of the most impressive builds I've ever seen on the forum. Absolutely fantastic.

Well, it is absolute great.

I wonder about you! To get it done in this scale!

I did it in 32, it was a challenge. With all rigging and so on.

But in this scale?

I supose you have the abilities of a professional sniper.

Happy modelling

Beautiful build of my ‘also’ favorite a/c. Every since reading Arch Whitehouse’s books the Fee has been my top aircraft.  I’ve built the Aeroclub 1/48 version but a move destroyed it and I have another in the stash. I’ve thought about selling it but your 1/144 build has me completely rethinking it.

I can only echo what the others have said....to scratch build this in 1/144 with museum quality boggles the mind...a masterpiece of modeling, for which you should be proud.You have to have a spider and a two-inch whip! :worthy:

So... 1/144 jewel vs. Airscale's Fury. I don't know how a judge would decide! 

 

Oh I'd love to do a Fury!  I still remember my Matchbox one so fondly and would not be able to go past those black and white chequer board markings.

I've been after the Arch Whitehouse book for ages.  I'll take that as a good recommendation!  

 

Thank you so much for the kind words everybody!  After such a hard slog it is nice to see it so well received.  :)
