PK-1 Matchbox 1:72 Fury
Okay i thought id better start a thread on this one. Im not entirely decided on how to do this, im actualy tempted to use a 1:48 as the main subject and 1:72 for the others. Im open to ideas here.

Six biplanes with rigging that will be fun.
My work bench is starting to look like Portsmouth Naval Dockyard.

Ollie, it's good to see you back, but I think we already had this discussion earlier this year -- you might relook this thread http://www.uamf.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f=196&t=2835;. In short the comments were to use the CBK, especially PK-1, itself and fake the others via art/cut-outs/etc ....

It's my model and I'll do what I want with it.

I do remember that discussion and the plan is to build the 4 and see what works, my feeling is just the two closest to the camera as models might work.

Im not going to put all the rigging on, just what can be seen plus the bracing for the undercarridge.

You, sir, are a masochist. Stout effort though! Should look very impressive when done.

How are you getting on Ollie? We could do with having some idea of what your are producing so that we can plan the display. This is a SIG not a secret society!
