A real aeroplane! Wrong scale but never mind - still an excellent model. I have made two of these in different scales and have a very soft spot for the type.

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


Tim,
     I agree with Prze on both counts. One of the few I believe would have sold like the proverbial disappearing hot cakes had Wingnut Wings released it. Your model is a beauty, great scheme and hard to believe it isn't in a larger scale.
Cheers,
Lance

Great build!  I’ve got one of these stashed away. Did you make the wings thinner?  My parts seem thicker.

No sir,  I don’t believe I did anything to thin the wings.  I did sand the metal struts down a little to thin their profile.
Thank you,
Tim

You really did an outstanding job on this, so glad you strayed into 1/48 scale but now, thanks to your build, I am needing the BlueMax Vickers in 1.48 scale...humph...

Tim,

Excellent build.  I have never built any of the Blue Max kits as I didn't want to stray from 1/72.  But I love the scale as you can add detail with the same convincing manner.  Very nice model.
