Melbourne Model Expo (2011)

You're right Matt. The tips are 'only just' over scale. In 'real life' the yellow was four inches deep from the tip of each blade, so even half a millimetre in 1/72nd or 1/48th scales is noticeable.

Thanks, Airframes!

Fairy Gannet is up next...

not bad at all

 

[Lucky13]

Nice!

Good one. Everytime I see that plane, it looks like a Van Gogh painting. Like some bored mechanics found a bunch of parts lying around the factory floor and decided to build a "plane" for shits and giggles.

 

[Airframes]

Know what you mean Matt! It's got (had) something about it though, especially the sound of that engine and prop. Nicely done.

Not a bad job on a butt ugly plane.

It's an airborne Hippocroccofrog !

Good one!

 

[Lucky13]

Got to admit Terry old boy, you'd pick a Wildcat over this......contraption!

 

[Airframes]

Er .... NO !

 

[vikingBerserker]

I like it

 

[Wayne Little]

British again...Seafury!

 

[Gnomey]

Nice one! Painting is a little rough though - brush?

 

[Crimea_River]

I suspect it's a brush paint by a beginner Hugh.

 

[Airframes]

Not a bad effort by presumably a beginner or young modeller. canopy needs a bit of attention, and the wings should cant inward when folded.

 

[Lucky13]

Like the Seafury though and agree!
