Darius at home Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 I received this in the post yesterday and just couldn't wait. I used the kit decals but painted the model a deep red colour (Halfords Rover Nighfire Red) as I think this aircraft looks best in that colour. Started yestrday at 09.30 and completed it at 15.30 hrs today. A nice simple kit - the windscreen fit was a bit tricky but apart form that there were no major problems.

Just call me Ray Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 (edited) You have got to either be the world's worst liar or the world's fastest percision kit builder An excellent, sharp-detailed model especially for a weekend project! Nice to see a plastic Staggerwing too! I also want to add that there's a very nice aura of nonstalga with the subject too!

The Migrant Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 That is impressive for a weekend build- wish I hadn't sold my AMT kit now! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul T Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Darius ,I don`t know how you did it ,but you did it very well.Nice job old chap !! The Staggerwing has speed and beauty written all over it.No wonder there are still some 200 still flying and on register in the US. Truly a "Classic" I like the red version you painted yours in, a little better looking the yellow I`ve seen. Great build......and DIFFERENT cheers; Paul T Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Darius Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 (edited) Thanks Guys. If I had the wherwithal this is the aircraft that I would get - to my mind one of the most beautiful aircraft designs ever. David Gilmour cannot be wrong. :( Darius PS.
