AliGauld Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 I realise there has already been a phenomenal Procopius build of this and that Cookenbacher is also engaged in a cracking build but I've been wanting to get stuck into this since it arrived. It will be a little different as it will be built with after market decals to build the mount of Wing Commander Leonard Cheshire as he was then. Some pics which have all been seen elsewhere. More later, Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Coombs Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Count me in on this one! Annoyingly, I checked the photoetch for my kit of this and discovered some of the radiator mesh missing. Too much acid in the mix? Never mind, I doubt anyone will look too closely in the air intake of the finished article when I get round to it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2996 Victor Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Hi Alistair, I'll pull up a chair as well if I may? (It's about time I got back into some aerial goodness and what better way?) And what a great scheme. Looking forward to seeing this one progress. All the best, Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately things like this happen sometimes, even if we carefuly examine all parts before packing into box. Sorry for that. We replace any and every damaged part free of charge, just fill the form here: https://www.armahobby.com/webpage/support-faq.html#claims Best regards!

IanC Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 On a slight tangent, I can highly recommend Richard Morris's very moving biography of Cheshire, a truly great man, quite different from many of his peers and a wonderful humanitarian. Good luck with the build. Great choice. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
