I thought of you earlier when I saw this on the Fantasy Kit World Facebook page.................🤔 Terry Not sure what the greatest fantasy is there, the subject or the price. Very well done though, if only it was real. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The major problems were yesterday and mainly self-inflicted! 12 hours ago, AliGauld said: Truly incredible. Yep, I can't believe I walked past a nice complete MPM kit to start this monstrosity either 11 hours ago, The Spadgent said: Sounds like Heavy Horses by Jethro Tull I was thinking a simple folk "ta-DA ta-DA ta-DA ta-DA" rather than the whole prog rock thing. Still, I'll be digging out some (puts on Alan Freeman voice) "Tull" for a listen while staring screens for money this week. 11 hours ago, The Spadgent said: Looks like you’ve taken a pic of your model What a difference a photo makes! I was really foundering over what scheme to build and that photo was a godsend. Ironically I need to re-matt-varnish the anti-glare section to match the photo a bit better. 10 hours ago, stevehnz said: I shan't dread it anything like the same now Well, at least there was no fighting in the War Room... 6 hours ago, heloman1 said: Congratulations Thanks Colin. I will now try to remember which planned build I was trying to finish when I got distracted by this one! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdrianMF Posted May 7, 2022 Author Share Posted May 7, 2022 Rigging, step and torpedo sights. Finished! RFI is here for some more pictures. Thanks for looking in.

That last picture sums up a beautiful build Adrian. Well done sir! Terry 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob Lyttle Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Darn, I missed this little epic completely, AdrianMF! Too much time lurking in the group builds arena.... Burst out laughing at your opening post 😅😍 I've always liked the Furry Applecore and the only option I've ever grabbed is a Formaplane Vac form product, so that's hardly likely to be done any time soon. 🙄 This is a great result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianMF Posted May 8, 2022 Author Share Posted May 8, 2022 Thanks @Hamden, @Terry1954, @mark.au and @AliGauld, much appreciated - I’m pretty pleased with the result. 5 hours ago, stevehnz said: I've got one of them too Steve, I’m going to have to call you a “kindred spirit”, because “crazy” just sounds a bit too harsh… 4 hours ago, Dunny said: Lovely work Adrian, and putting me to shame! You’re nearly there Roger! 3 hours ago, rob Lyttle said: Formaplane Vac Thanks Rob. Although this build had its moments at least there was a good solid mount for the top wing. Still, the Special Hobby 1/72 one should be out soon now that I’ve offered up this build to the Modelling Gods. Regards, Adrian 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray S Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 What a wonderful result Adrian, it looks a cracker. I am looking forward to the Baffin/Ripon build one day, that was always a set I wanted to get but never got around to. Ray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Slowbuild Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Brilliant job Adrian, you should be very proud of what you’ve achieved. I’m sure most modellers would not have touched it with a barge pole! Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
