Title: More of what I've been up to - Williams Bros Caudron C.460
Post by: kensar on March 21, 2024, 01:08:17 AM: This is a Williams Bros Caudron C.460 in 1/32 scale. A simple kit, but the aged decals presented a challenge that Microscale Liquid Decal Film saved. I added some internal structure in the wheel wells and cockpit along with an Immense Miniatures figure that I used as the pilot.
I rebuilt the landing gear into something more realistic looking.
This model depicts the 1936 Thompson Trophy and Greve Trophy winner, flown by Michel Detroyat.

With its long and sleek fuselage it has has something of a "shark-ish" appearance.
