Vickers Vimy, Egypt 1922
« on: March 03, 2022, 03:51:18 PM »
Hi!
I continue with the second part of the Vimy trilogy. The model represents the military Vickers Vimy in Egypt around 1922. The aircraft was built at the end of the war and used mainly in Egypt. Around 1923, it was modernized and used as a mail plane.
The model is made by Eastern Express or is a very old casting of the company Frog. There is almost nothing left of the set in the box, but the one used is completely reworked, all other parts are self-built. I show the construction from the beginning to the end so that at least a part of the work invested in the model can be seen. The scale model is 1/72. I used Windsock Datafile Special - Vickers Vimy (J M Bruce) and internet resources.
Greetings

Totally agree with the others - this is truly outstanding. A real silk purse from a very old kit.

Hard to believe this is 1/72.

I love it, it looks awesome. So much fine detail in this tiny scale and the weathering is great!

This is one of my favourite aircraft, along with the Handley Pages and the Blackburn Kangaroo.

What an investment in time and effort, but what a return on your investment!  That is a spectacular model in all respects.
I'm especially interested in your jig. Was it self-made just for this build?
