Handley Page 0/100 1/72 Airfix conversion
« on: August 16, 2022, 02:06:13 PM »
Ok. I finally figured out how to post images. Thank you for all your help. This is the 1/72 Airfix 0/400 with Rosemont resin 0/100 conversion set. The aircraft depicted is serial number 3126 in an experimental camouflage pattern. Originally this cammo was applied on all upper and lower surfaces. Then later it was overpainted entirely with PC-10.  I really like the scheme and the opportunity to use large cockades. Guns and Scarf rings are from min world.  The full build article is located on Hyperscale in the 1/72 forum.

Wowzer!  :o
That's an eyecatcher Tim. Great effort to build one and then to paint that particular scheme as well - I'm in awe  8)

Great model, great conversion.
But I must confess, that watching this camo makes my eyes go crazy...  ;)

Tim,

You're building all the subjects I've been meaning too for years!  I had the Rosemont conversion set too.  I loaned it to a friend many years ago so he could resin cast it, haven't seen it since.
