RMweb Gold Barry Ten Posted August 14, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 14, 2020 Nice to see more R/C modelling. I posted this over on the Lockdown modelling thread, but progress on my 1/8th P51D: This has been a joint project with another modeller during Lockdown, as we're in the same support bubble. I built the fuselage and wing halves, he then joined the wings and fared them into the body.. This week he's installed the retracts and aileron servos and is hoping to get the electric motor up and running. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a laser cut card kit that I found on eBay a few years ago. I added additional structural bracing to the roof trusses - and interior lighting.

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted August 14, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 14, 2020 Thanks, that reminded me that I've got one (1/72) stashed somewhere unmade. I'll have to get round tuit and find a suitable base. Even in 1/72 its quite sizeable. Mostly laser cut card with corrugated plasticard for the roof.

railroadbill Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Did most of this pre-lockdown, but I couldn't find the undercarriage bay doors. When they turned up, I fitted them and now it;s done. It's the old Airfix kit that got re-released (again) fairly recently. It actually had the top of the cockpit solid, with the heads of 2 pilots moulded on, design is that old, so I cut that away to open out the cockpit. I think the prototype is a very attractive and interesting design, and they were obviously very successful with long distance pioneer flights. Beginning of the De Havilland twin engined monoplane dynasty. I'd made the kit (from the same moulds, presumably!) back when I was a schoolboy and did such things, so as it was only £1.99 in an Airfix black Friday sale several years ago, had to have one for the stash. It was also a tryout for Humbrol gloss varnish from spray can, which worked ok imho. (The red was Tamiya). 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted September 2, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 2, 2020 These are not super detailed models as they have to survive crashes. The Matra and Audi were body kits with chassis assembled to fit. The Oreca was painted but had bits missing so they had to be made from plasticard and filler. The chassis was for a 1950s Ford Fairlane. Tony 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
