Luke1199 Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Hi all, for this GB I'm finally going to be building my favourite plane- the Westland Wyvern. This is the Trumpeter kit in 1/48 and its some size- I'm also planning on getting a photoetch cockpit set for the build. The kit comes with Suez markings for Operation Musketeer, but I'm leaning toward building this kit as one from 813 Squadron aboard HMS Eagle. Very much looking forward to this build and can't wait to see what everyone else produces, thanks for looking in! 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyOD Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Another one with the lovely Suez stripes? Great to see, looking forward to this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Fantastic choice… cannot wait to see this kit being built. I’ve got the excellent Trumpeter 1/72 rendition and can only image how good this will look in larger 1/48 scale. Cheers and best of luck..

Bertie McBoatface Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 It's an extraordinary aircraft, very striking shall we say. (Only it's mother thinks it's beautiful.) Good to see it represented here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke1199 Posted January 20, 2023 Author Share Posted January 20, 2023 Hi all, been slowly working away on the cockpit for this beast and my god is there a lot! Finally have the instrument panels together and fitted, just the ejection seat to go. Its been worth the effort however, its looking decent- and familiar as I've flown this thing for hours on War Thunder 😅 Thanks for looking in! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
