Vickers Vimy Fly Model in 1/33rd

All,

Due to an estate sale, I snagged this lovely beast for a very fair price.  It's large and will look amazing when completed.  I just decided to do something different and dipped my toe into the kit by starting on the ailerons.  Here is one of four complete with control horns.

I'm thinking this will be a long term project. Let the games begin!

Thanks for looking,
Dan

Rookie:
Hi Dan, is this the one from Modelik?

I bought mine 2 years ago + the extra set, but it's still in the stach due to an other project.

I will follow this build with special interest!

Cheers,
Willem

Hello Willem!

I'm not sure.  I don't know if Fly Models made a completely different model or not.  My hunch is that it's different but I'll need to do some homework to find out...

Thanks for commenting.  Let's hope this one goes smoothly!

Dan

UPDATE!  Looking at the parts, I think they are definitely different.  Engine parts etc. look quite different.  Maybe someone else can confirm this?

These two links may help to identify which model you have.

THANKS, Herb C.  They do look different so the Fly Model is not the same as Modelik!

I wonder how each will actually build?

Dan
