RKic Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Nice builds Mikeew, Benny and Colin! and thank you all for the kind words about my mosquito. Here is my second and last entry for the GB. A Swedish J28B, or Ikea Vampire :P Not as much fun to build as the mossie, but an Airfix gem nonetheless. I'm not certain if the canopy slid back like that, but it would have been impossible to pose it closed due to the awful fit. anyway, here it is I'll also take this time to place my vote for another classic british kit GB !!!

Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Andrew: I think the two words you have in mind may well have been directed at the kit several times during the course of the build! :-). More than once, yes! <_< Link to post Share on other sites

stevearado Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 (edited) We've still got a day. I wonder if we'll get anymore builds in. Here's one. I completed my Heller (Airfix-boxed) Hawker Tempest Mk V. I rescribbed the panel lines, and replaced the outboard guns with hypodermic tubeing. I also used thin guitar string for the antenna mast. Other than that, it's built OOB with kit decals. This is my second completed build of 2007. Edited February 28, 2007 by stevearado Link to post Share on other sites
