An Antipoedian 8 ** Finished **

[fredk]

Well I hope, if I can find the decals!

If PaulBradley hadn't asked how we were getting on I'd never have thought of doing another one.
Its Monday, I might get it done by Sunday. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.






A simple kit, might go together quickly.
I put the decals aside so I could give the a coat of LDF but now I can't find them. I really want to do that Mk8 with teeth.

[DazDaMan]

I have a spare set if you need them, Fred. Providing, of course, you're not on the other side of the world!

[fredk]

Thanks, but I found them.

[DazDaMan]

No worries.

Aaah, so if you don't get it finished, you can blame me, eh?

Cool kit - please remind me of the provenance of Remus kits? Frog?

[DazDaMan]

Definitely looks like the Frog Mk.VIII/IX that I built last year.

Chaps,

I'm guessing that everyone else can see Fred's pics? I just get little red crosses. Something to do with my browser, maybe?

I can see the pics.

[DazDaMan]

Yep, pics here.

As I mentioned to another Mk VIII builder Temora Aviation Museum has some good photos of their Mk VIII, mainly in flight.
It's only 100km away from here but I hav'n't been there for a while.

Hi Dai, I have few recent Aeroplane mags which feature the TAM 8 in these markings.

So far;



Hope to get the MSG on this evening.
The kit canopy didn't look like a Spitfire canopy at all but I had a spare vac one, but then I had to put a seat, a control column and i/p in the cockpit.

[Purplethistle]

Ah nostalgia, I remember getting one of those as a nipper in the 70's. To a kid who only knew Airfix, Revell and the odd Frog it seemed exotic! I looked for others by Remus, but never found any.

Looking good so far

[DazDaMan]

Yeah, definitely looks like the Frog job I built!

[fredk]

This is now a race to the finish. Almost as bad as a blitz.
As of 10pm;


Just waiting till the gloss varnish hardens up a bit. Its under my heat lamp to help it along.
Might get the decals on and matt varnished before midnight.
