Ok this one took Third place...Vickers Vildebeest Mark III.

 

[109ROAMING]

I love it! 8)

That 1/48 Wayne?

 

[Gnomey]

Nice 8)

 

[Wildcat]

Now that's cool!

 

[Airframes]

Very nice. Don't often see these around, especially in early WW2 Middle East markings.

 

[Wayne Little]

..and second place a Hadrian..

 

[Wildcat]

Impressive!

 

[Airframes]

Now I like that! Not quite sure about the upper wing staining, but then it probably looks a lot better 'in the flesh'. What scale is that Wayne?

 

[B-17engineer]

Nice!! Looks awesome!

 

[109ROAMING]

Wow! that is really cool

 

[Wayne Little]

Now I like that! Not quite sure about the upper wing staining, but then it probably looks a lot better 'in the flesh'. What scale is that Wayne?

Pretty sure it's 1/72....based on size of the Meteor, which is 1/48

The Vildebeest is 1/72 also!!

 

[109ROAMING]

Cheers Wayne 8)

Wouldn't mind having a crack at either ( Vildebeast would be RNZAF naturally )

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Impressive monoplanes, I always feel they are a challenge, with all those struts they look and are so frail.

 

[Airframes]

Thanks Wayne. I hadn't realised the Wildebeest was 'tiny tot' scale - thought it was 1/48th. Bl**dy good work in that scale.

 

[Wayne Little]

....and the winner of the class BE 2a also in 1/72!

 

[Airframes]

Holy Moly, that's fantastic! I'd be scared to death transporting it though !!

 

[Wayne Little]

Does look a bit delicate!

 

[Gnomey]

Certainly does! Excellent model though.

After having done my Walrus, I dare say that the upper wing looks like it would be nightmare to align without some sort of jig. Excellent rigging work.

Awesome shots Wayne!
