Vickers Commercial
« on: May 17, 2022, 02:45:22 PM »
Hello!
Well, I managed to finish the Vimy trilogy. The model represents one of the first passenger aircraft and was Vickers Commercial around 1922.
The model is made by MSD and is a very old casting from Frog with a new fuselage and some additional parts. There is almost nothing left of the set in the box, but the one used is completely reworked, all other parts are scratch-built. I had to extend the fuselage by 11 mm so that I could make the cabin door or the plane the right length. Once again, I show the construction from start to finish 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
