Mr Brunel Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 A few years old by now, this is a 1:72 de Havilland Mosquito B Mk. IV. It's the Revell re-boxing of the Hasegawa kit. There's actually a tenuous railway connection as I bought the kit from the small shop in Grosmont engine shed! 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangor Lad Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Over the years I've built all sorts of models, dabbled in R/C aircraft (mainly gliders), scale non-sailing yachts and woodwork but usually come back to N gauge. Here are some of what I've built recently. 1/35 Tamiya Panzer II with some added etched details and extra figures 1/72 Sherman Firefly 1/72 Sherman Another 1/72 Firefly in a small diorama 11 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire2865 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) Roden 1/72nd RAF S.E.5-a Early aircraft really appeal to me. Something about the simplicity of the mechanics and materials. Edited February 15, 2016 by Spitfire2865 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BernardTPM Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 A model I made about 20 odd years ago from my own kit, released in 1988, I think. The Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased) Victor 2000: 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased) Victor 2000: CK4Victor.jpg I have a similar model in 1/32 scale. I'm not sure who made it but its quite accurate.

Kelly Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I've dabbled with 1/72, 1/48 scale aircraft in the past, but don't these days as I have nowhere to put the things anymore and all the ones i did have didn't survive moving house sadly. Also dabbled with wargaming figures (mainly GW Warhammer 40K) over the years and the odd bit of armour (1/76 and 1/35). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruston Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) The rigging on the 1/72 biplanes is impressive: how is that reproduced these days? Monofilament nylon thread. That's what I use anyway. Drilled and glued directly into the model on small scales, such as 1/72, but using metal eyelets and tubes to fix them to the model and to give the appreance of turnbuckles on 1/32nd scale, such as on this 1/32nd F.E2b that I built last year.

Spitfire2865 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 The rigging on the 1/72 biplanes is impressive: how is that reproduced these days?I use hair. My own actually. At about two thousandths thick, its actually underscale in 1/72nd. But it is fairly tough and doesnt stretch. Monofilament, while probably easier to work with, just catches the light in a way I dont like. Unlike hair, which almost disappears at the right angles. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find the FE2b such an interesting aircraft. They had next to no idea how to add weapons so they just sat a gunner right in front of the pilot. Not to mention one of the few combat pusher aircraft, and with little fuselage if it can even be considered one. Its something straight out of a cartoon. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just done a quick google of "fe2b" - I had no idea of the size of the things! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
