Melbourne Model Expo (2011)

[Wayne Little]

Yeah definitely a beginner.....

next a Mig 3 in what was marked as Aerobatics colours...

 

[Crimea_River]

He/she did a very good job on the scheme. Shame the paint is so thick.

 

[Matt308]

I like it. Clever paint scheme for a beginner!

 

[Gnomey]

Nice one! Paint does seem a little thick and shiny (not helped by the lights) though...

 

[Wayne Little]

certainly some newcomers to this category, probably another?

Bent wing Seafury...

 

[Matt308]

What a beautiful plane.

 

[Crimea_River]

It's always intrigued me how they were able to get wings to fold and maintain structural integrity and reliable control linkage. The deflected ailerons on that build got me thinking whether this was possible with the wings folded and, if so, how that would have worked. Not a bad build.

 

[Gnomey]

Good one!

 

[Airframes]

Two good ones for beginners. Agree about the paint on the MiG - maybe tone down the gloss for scale effect would help.

 

[Wayne Little]

Next up a rather tidy Sopwith Triplane

 

[N4521U]

Gotta hand it to some of the novices. To have that much pride in your work to Show it. Just makes you wish you could be there to shake there hand and give em a goodonya!

There is a show coming up around here this month, 29th Oct Hornsby War Memorial Hall. Gotta go and see what they got.

 

[Airframes]

Neatly done, especially for such a small model.

 

[Crimea_River]

Nice tripe but do I detect a rather large seam along the fuselage?

 

[vikingBerserker]

Nice Sea Fury!

 

[Gnomey]

Nice one!

 

[Wurger]

 

[Wayne Little]

next up another beginner having a go...this time a Douglas boston

 

[Gnomey]

Good one!

 

[Crimea_River]

Not a bad effort but the seams are quite pronounced. He obviously missed the fact that the tail planes had quite a pronounced dihedral.

 

[Airframes]

And that the rear gunner's canopy slid inside when open, and that the codes should be Dull Red. But not a bad effort at all. I suspect he/she is not only a beginner, but fairly young too.
