Re: Random Vandalism
The Crane looks great VV, although I kinda liked it in the orange 
Best wishes

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Re: Random Vandalism
That Cessna looks great, VV, I'm a fan of things bright yellow but it can be a difficult colour to apply.

Re: Random Vandalism
Thank you for showing this, I need a couple Cranes, the purpose of which is no longer relevant, but the empty space still is. Good work.

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

Great work VV, and super speedy too!

Re: Random Vandalism
Thanks, cheer squad 
It's back to the Hercules now but I am also tempted to smash out a Sopwith Strutter on the side. The WW1 builds have been absent so far this year. I'm sure LM won't be complaining if I do
Watch out for the orientation of the engine cowlings - I mucked that up. There's a small stub where the exhaust attaches and I definitely didn't position that right on either cowling. Also be aware that the rear windows aren't the best fit and there's two grey panels that attach to the bottom of the instrument cluster but if you put them on you won't fit the whole thing in because it's too close to the cockpit floor. You can't see them through the canopy anyway. I left them off entirely.

Would be great to see another one built

Re: Random Vandalism
Something unusual here: 1/32 scale. Not for me, for my brother. I build for him and in return he pays for some of my kits, like the resin Mazda body shell he just ordered (one for himself and one for me).
Regular Camel next to it for scale. 1/32 is huge!
It's the Academy kit. Fairly crude detail for this scale.

Re: Random Vandalism
Glad to see that you are building one of the Sopwiths....but errr, is it the right scale?
Must rectify that!

Very nice Cessna and no surprise that I´m seeing another Sopwith Camel on your workbench.

Re: Random Vandalism
It's the wrong scale for sure but it's not for my display so there's no risk of it tainting my shelves
It's finished:
Not sure what to start on (or continue with) next.
