Re: Howard happy place 2024
I remember seeing a Pembroke flying at Kemble airshow a few years ago (2007ish) and thought it looked a very graceful aircraft, and it's nice to see that classic airframe beginning to take shape on your bench H

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

It certainly is. Thanks for the tip Howard!

A bit more bench time results in undercarriage and some plasticard details on the cowling.

Re: Howard happy place 2024
Evening all.
I had to put some extra weight in the engines 'cos the 5mm steel bearings I stuck in the nose wasn't enough.
I squashed some .22 air pellets down with some pliers.
Now I have a over weight Pembroke.
Next job, cut out and install the vacform canofpeas and add some lumps bumps.
Cheers Howard

Re: Howard happy place 2024
It's a brave modeller that takes on Handley Page. I've been severely tempted a few times and had it in the stash but never had the guts!

Re: Howard happy place 2024
Yeah I know what you mean
The upper left wing is bowed, I wish I'd noticed that before I stuck it together.
I don't want to take it apart to straighten it.
I think the easiest solution would be to make a couple of cuts on the upper surface and clamp it.
I'm open to suggestions.

Re: Howard happy place 2024
Might be able to straighten that with heat but that's gone both ways with me! If you can disguise that kink you should be able to look the other way!
