Title: Voisin III - 1/72nd scale Flashback kit
Post by: Stuart Malone on February 20, 2022, 09:59:06 PM: It's as far as I can take it. This kit fought me the entire way. I found it to be one of the most difficult kits I have ever done. My skills don't do it justice, but as I said in the 'in progress' section, just to get this off the shelf of shame has been rewarding. I think my next project is going to be learning how to take decent pictures.

Well done for completing a beautiful model out of a notoriously difficult kit.

I don't see how I could ever complete this kit.

Again, so nicely done sir.

Cheers,
Lance

Thanks for showing,

One photographic tip: perhaps a background other than white for this aircraft? ;)

Looking at this I would never have guessed at the problems it has caused you - excellent model in all respects and the rigging is top notch.

Regards

Dave

Post by: RAGIII on February 21, 2022, 05:39:34 AM: You have managed to take an abandoned project of a difficult kit and turn it into a Beautiful Model! That rigging is Incredible. When I think of the fight the DH2 rigging is giving Me in 1/32nd scale I can't even imagine tackling this one in 1/72nd!! Well Done all around Stuart.

Post by: lone modeller on February 22, 2022, 02:02:37 AM: Many congratulations for finishing this birdcage Stuart. In this sclae the rigging can be a bit of a challenge, but the fragile nature of the aircraft also adds an interesting dimension for the modeller. This is not a subject seen very often in any scale, but to have one in God's Own Scale is a real treat. A very good model - much better than you would have us think.

Stephen.

Post by: NinetythirdLiberator on February 26, 2022, 03:56:24 AM: That's pretty dang far! Well done. I made that one and it is indeed a cool plane when done but very delicate to execute. Looks great!
