Sikorsky RBVZ S-20 1:48 scratchbuild
« on: November 15, 2012, 09:14:39 AM »
Hello! I want to introduce you to a self-made model of the last fighter Igor Sikorsky - RBVZ S-20. The model was built a couple of years ago, in one instance. Although now I think that we would have to try to make copies.





Sorry for my bad English - Google translated bad assistant :)

Absolutely gorgeous, Siskin.  I wish this was available in kit form.  Lovely model of a lovely design.
Cheers,
Bud

Do not be sorry, online there are modellers, recently a colleague built Voisin and Farman in 48th scale.

Beautiful work Siskin!  Very impressive to have built this from scratch.  I will definately visit your build log.  Learning new techniques is what this sharing is all about.  Thank you!

Regards,

Bob

Beautiful, crisp, finely shaded. And scratch-built! Very fine modelling, thanks for sharing.
