that is very nice

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Looks good and someone just polished all the cockpit glass but why that little faded patch on the upside of the port wing.

 

[Airframes]

Me like !

 

[Matt308]

I like it too! A great centerpiece for a diorama, me thinks. I too noticed the grey area on the upper wing. I just assumed it was new doping for the cloth skinned wing?

I was thinking the same re the diorama Matt, maybe with a 'Jeep' and a tent. The kit comes with a nicely moulded, standing pilot figure, wearing a 'A1' leather jacket and sunglasses!

 

[Gnomey]

Nice one!

 

[Wayne Little]

Third place real nice Ki-61

 

[rochie]

[Airframes]

Very nicely done. Can't figure out what the kneeling bloke is up to though !

 

[Gnomey]

Good one!

 

[vikingBerserker]

"Please give me a ride?"

Well done.

[Crimea_River]

Nice ones but what's up with the ailerons on the Grasshopper?

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Very nice and a good job also done with the grass.

 

[Airframes]

Only just noticed those ailerons !

 

[Matt308]

Did the Grasshopper have flaperons?

 

[Airframes]

Not that I know of. I've flown a couple of Cubs, and the aileron set-up was 'normal' (and great for short-field landings when side-slipping!).
I guess the modeller, as good as he is, has a limited knowledge of aircraft control surfaces - not uncommon in certain sectors of modelling, be it vehicles, aircraft, ships etc.

 

[vikingBerserker]

I completely missed that, nice catch Andy.

 

[Wayne Little]

Very nice any picts of the I'm guessing swordfish next to it.

here's the first Swordfish!

Nice - and big too !
