Planebuilder62 Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Hi there Here are some pictures of my 1/72 Westland Wasp. Some build pictures can be found over in the RFI section but I’m not very good at posting links. This started life as an Airfix Scout and used a Tasman vac form canopy and the Air Graphics converion and decal set. The Air Graphics stuff is brilliant. Here is the Wasp: By the the way, it is very small. Regards Toby 61 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheyJammedKenny! Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Now you're talking! Right on! That's a beautiful little Wasp, and a superbly executed conversion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k5054nz Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 What a sweetheart! I remember Dad had to build the Airfix Scout for me because it was so small, the idea of converting one into a Wasp is an admirable project and you've done a great job. Thanks for sharing - I love it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horatio Gruntfuttock Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 That is really lovely and i did not realise the conversion was available - must get one! I recall converting one following an AIrfix Magazine article back in the 70s(?) but it never looked as good as your little beauty. Well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HL-10 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Superb! Airfix, and others, really need to sort out a new kit of this! Excellent work 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planebuilder62 Posted December 7, 2021 Author Share Posted December 7, 2021 Dear Horatio Yes, you are right. There was an Alan Hall article in an Airfix magazine that shoed how to make a Scout into a Wasp using balsa wood, streched sprue and some cross kitting for the wheels. A cover picture of the edition is over in the WIP build section for this kit. regards Toby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
