Non-railway modelling


Recommended Posts

This is what I’ve spent the last couple of days building....post-1827-0-93031500-1533835997_thumb.jpeg

It’s actually been nice to model something other than railways for a change. It’s an 1:350 Aoshima kit, and I also have Thunderbird 2 in the to do pile, Thunderbird 3 is on it’s way too.

To finish Thunderbird 1 I need to decal and give it some light weathering, and build the plastic launch bay diorama it comes with.

Gotha GL.VII 1/72 scale BAT project kit.

 

The Gotha GL.VII was a high-speed tactical bomber that was built in the last months of WW1. Few reached operational service.

Very nice model Euston impressive as always. You must have a fine collection of ww1 aircraft.Have you built anything from wingnut wings?

 

All the best

Steve

I have built the Sopwith Pup and the F.E.2b. I have the S.E.5a, Sopwith Snipe and Bristol F.2b in the stash. All of the aircraft that I have posted here were built a few years ago when I took a bit of a break from railway modelling and I hope to one day get back to building the Wingnuts kits but they are so large and take up a lot of space when built. They take up much less space as kits and with Wingnuts habit of doing a run of a type and then not producing the same variant again (I don't think they have to date anyway) the kits are probably increasing in value in their boxes.

 

Some photos of the F.E.2b.

I made this for my son in 2007 out of scrap bits of blue card

 

Not really proper modelling I suppose, although I did scale it using BBC photos

 

This was before a toy version came out just incase anyone thinks I was too tight to buy him one

Nice work, I like "pointy" jets, so that Tomcat is right up my alley (arf). Although I've stalled builds of a Javelin and Sea Vixen awaiting delivery of roundtuits, the Tornado caught my eye as a build I'd like to get around to.

The Tornado's are the Italeri offerings, no extras.Bought a bunch of them when they were on offer but now the look dated when compared to the Revell new tool Ah well.

Something I never really thought of before, how do the hard points operate on movable wing aircraft?

The store needs to be facing forwards at all times.

 

They pivot as well.

 

No, really.

 

Cheers
