Very well done. A kit bash can be harder than it seams.

Sorry to be late to the party.... Lovely conversion and superbly finnished.

I converted a Revell D VII and Dr1 decades ago following an article by A Woolett in Airfix magazine - not especially difficult but enjoyable at a time when no kits were available.

Thanks Stephen  ;D
Pretty much what I did here using Eduard bits. I loved those old Airfix conversion articles even when I was building other stuff - very inspiring

The conversion article is in the July 1972 Airfix. I built it in the 1980s.

Well spotted sir  :)

Decided to add a pair of figures to this one now it's based up. In my fevered imagination the old hand officer is passing on a few tips about rotary engined aircraft to the pilot before an evaluation flight
