Great start on this super kit. It will be a fitting tribute build.

Hi, Nice to see you back at the bench. Look forward to seeing you build this beautiful kit in tribute to Wendy

@scale_model_apprentice Месяц назад

Nice build so far. If a finish is a concern when hammering the lead sheet like you do, then it would be a good idea to place a sheet of metal over the surface and hammer that to keep it flat. But if ot will be hidden go to town! Thanks Nigel, just saw part 2 posted, and its added to the queue!

Good progress Nigel. Should look great with the Quinta stuff in place.

It does mate, all done now and covered in part 2.

Looking forward to this build Nigel, a must watch again as i also have this kit. Good to see back mate starting new builds. I am enjoying the Lancaster newbies build too, they are like a refresher course for me. 👍

Iam sure i read somewhere that the strips where white not yellow for the life of me i can not remember where! but it could be my age great to see you back

@NigelsModellingBench Месяц назад

I shall have to research this... TBH, I fail to see why they would use yellow?

@martinvickery9772 Месяц назад

@@NigelsModellingBench Hi Nigel it was bugging me the strip colour i have found a reference on the web that says that the white replaced yellow after Suez when it was at RAF Nicosia on Cyprus only one reference so could be wrong yellow and white was used both by us and the French i believe during Suez

@NigelsModellingBench Месяц назад

Maybe then we should go yellow and then white over the top with a hint of the yellow showing through?

@@NigelsModellingBench Nigel did a bit more surfing Airfix is right 3 Gannets where used on anti smuggling patrols out of RAF Nicosia even found a photo! on a Flypast Spotlight article its a colour photo a bit washed out but the strips looks white that's filled my time till the rugby starts! looking forward to this build as Gannets flew from local RNAS Brawdy in the day

Nigel, thanks for making your build videos, they are both entertaining and informative

@andrewgilbert9108 Месяц назад

Wonderful to see you back with some passion in your voice. I'm really looking forward to seeing this build develop.

@NigelsModellingBench Месяц назад

Thank you. I'm still shell shocked, but I think things are improving. No doubt I'll have another Fox Terrier pup on the channel soon and you'll all fall in love with her?

@Garywolff884 Месяц назад

That’s a great kit and I’m sure you will do a great job on it. Having built it I can tell you it’s all good but look out for getting the nose weights in. You need it all plus some! Good luck 🤞🏼

@SullysScaleModels Месяц назад

Looking forward to seeing how you bring this together!! And thanks for the shout out! Dude! Nose weight I managed by accident went over I think min overall is over 10g but I think you can be a bit short and it will sit ok. The fit is so good on the kit my tail plain and making wings aren't glued just push fit

@Bobby-md6pr Месяц назад

Thanks Nigel, I'm going to have to get one of these buggers now!

@MartinSparks-ef9gr Месяц назад

Hi Nigel. Does look to be one of airfix's better kits . I would build it with everything open possible and the folded wing's. Very good bay detail . Should be very impressive. I hope you are well. M

@MisterHampshire Месяц назад

Beautiful kit to build. The only criticism I'd aim is at the at times vague instructions and the flimsy wing fold detailing/links which are susceptible to damage and breaking off. They perhaps could have been better thought out. Incidentally, I would suggest putting in far more nose weight than Airfix suggest: it really, really is a massive tail sitter if this is anything but over their own recommendation.

@russellbower3454 Месяц назад

I hear airfix do not tell you to use the box because they couldn’t get enough weight in it

@rileyk99 Месяц назад

So much weight in there if you ever drop it it's gonna stand straight up on the propeller spinner ;)

@markgordon2260 Месяц назад

I just received mine, and looking forward to your build. I have just started mine, and the only comment regarding it is that the sprue attachment points seem a bit thicker than usual. I will need to source some RAN decals. Regarding the forward weights, I saw on another build is that if they are forward of "that line" they can be seen from outside - there is a gap in front of the instrument panel. To allow more weight the builder put in a flat blanking plate. Also, will the box allow for the large amount of weight? Maybe a test build showed that not enough weight could be added using the box, and the instructions were amended?

@NigelsModellingBench Месяц назад

I don't think the weights will be seen if forward of the line.. I think it's to clear the engine intakes. I think I proved that you can get the correct weight in the box, well, 0.3 grams less in reality.. I looked at the space in front of the IP. I think that is visible through the windscreen? That's why I put the extra in the sides.

@@NigelsModellingBench 👌Gotcha - thanks. Dont know whether you are a rugby supporter, but another credible performance at Eden Park this evening. The Captain spoke some of the nicest after match words. And the Aussies beat the boyos again.
