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

Very convincing.

Looks great! Nice and strong struts holding the wings.

Re: Random Vandalism
Thanks everyone. It will be finished by tomorrow and posted up in a thread.
The outboard struts I'm very happy with. I based it off the Taper Wing Camel:

TBH I'm not happy about the centre section struts and wish I had gone with regular struts but it's too late now so it is what it is.

Re: Random Vandalism
As I have commented elsewhere - that is both original and very convincing. Excellent example of a conversion.

Re: Random Vandalism
Thanks both. It was a fun conversion.
Currently the bench is taken up with a Blenheim and BP Defiant for the group build but I've become such a bipaholic that I needed to also work on a venetian blind on the side. I pulled out an Airfix Pup and I am just deciding on a scheme - I will probably need to buy a/m decals (rare for me!) for some Australian pups.

Re: Random Vandalism
It's been action stations on group builds recently and I usually don't double up by reposting those in WW but now there is a brief (3 day ) lull for a non-GB subject.
I am on our annual beachside vacation and while Caesar Octavia is loaded to the gunwales, there's still space for modelling kit....
It's what I do to relax, especially in the evening, so it was coming with me.
I bought a London Bus kit from Frontline Hobbies on the way up for the Road & Track GB but I also brought a FWD Lorry and a Sopwith Strutter from home.
I've had a bash at the FWD and got a decent amount done.

Re: Random Vandalism
That Octavia has certainly swallowed a lot of gear, VV, estate cars can be very handy! Some interesting sounding builds coming up from you and I hope you have a great break and a happy new year. You wouldn't be needing your budgie smugglers on a beach side break over here this time of year, more like your thermal underwear

Re: Random Vandalism
Enjoy your trip VV, it sounds like you'll have some interesting modelling to do! I'm amazed you managed to all get in that car!
