Under Construction / 1/72 Morane Saulnier type I (Eastern Express)
« Last post by Tim Mixon on Today at 03:43:16 AM »After rebuilding my Ilya Muromets bomber, I realized I only had one other Russian aircraft completed in my collection. I pulled it off the shelf and found it needed a new facelift as well.
I decided that only the fabric areas needed to be repainted and new national markings applied. But still I had to disassemble the entire aircraft.
The wings of this Eastern Express kit have the starved cow look so I scratch built new ones from Rosemont vaccuform wing blanks
Everything was primed dark brown and ther ribs and framework masked off. Then over painted with Tamiya deck tan
Next came light coats of Vallejo aged white to make the fabric look
prepped with a coat of Furure and the Americal Gryphon decals were applied.
Here?s the finished look.
I?ll post more pictures in the completed model section.
Thanks for looking in!

Under Construction / British SS Class Airship 1/72 scale
« Last post by Dirigible-Al on July 26, 2026, 11:51:37 PM »A scary number of years ago I made an SS Class Airship out of fibreglass and a Czechmaster Resin BE2.c. This unfortunately got damaged not long after its completion and has remained in a box in the attic since. This is a re build rather than one form scratch. It just makes sense to use the damaged but repairable BE2.c that cost a fair bit when I bought it (even though Airfix now make one much cheaper now). I cannot see any way I can use any of the envelope even though it is in reasonable shape. This is because the build was fundamentally flawed. The Czechmaster Resin BE2.c is fragile yet the envelope that was made out of papier mashe and fibreglass is very heavy. All it would take to destroy it was one fall and that's what happened. I have since then learned how to make things out of insulation foam which is extremely light. It took one and a half years to make the original one, I hope to get this done in less than a year. I will still carry on with RSS Discovery as a secondary project.
Thanks for looking in, Alan.
