Vickers F.B.5. 1/48 Blue Max
« on: February 16, 2023, 03:15:43 AM »
I built this one some years ago but didn’t get very good images. Sorry no link to the build log due to Imgur images not available.

As you can see, I do occasionally stray from 1/72 builds.












Thanks for looking in!
Tim

Lovely job Tim
(I picked up an old F2b vacform at the weekend strangely enough. Nice original boxing for the princely sum of £2.00 - I were right proper delighted) ;D

That's another brilliant job Tim.
Blue Max kits are hard and it is some feat just to build one let alone finish it to this standard.

Spectacular model. And it revives my dream about 32nd scale model of this aircraft.

I'm with Dan - what a beauty! I've long desired a Gunbus and this only reinforces my desire.

Another beauty, just a shame about the scale 🤣
I have the Pegasus one on the bench awaiting its turn.

That's really very nice, and I can't believe that's a Blue Max kit.
