Ummm...this Heyford in 1/48 won bronze at the Scale Model show a few years back


Oh and I am pretty sure that the Tri Motor did come in 1/48....I will look into it. If not I have the plans for it in 1/48 and I am sure SOMETHING could be arranged.

Oh SURE...

Those WITH Talent can always scratchbuild, and rub our noses in it.
That's gotta be what he did to win that bronze...

Yep!!  Found the deft devil, Aris Polyzos!!!

Have I mentioned lately that lacking any of mine own, I despise talent?

"...and his gorge rose as an involuntary shudder shook his entire body, the words 'Vacuform Aeroplane' having split the air, soon to be blue with invective..."


Buildings yes, canopies certainly, scenery sometimes, ships rarely, tanks and aircraft NEVER!!!!

One day I may even relate the story of the Fish Terrorist.........

Do tell?

[Peter@BattleScape]

'tis a story only told on dark stormy nights in seedy back alley harbour drinkin' dens.  Where the men are men and the little lordlings tremble.........
Or after I have had a few...whichever comes first!!!

What a beauty!

Tis a pity he didn't mix the proper shade of yellow for 99 Sqn in April of '34...

AND his fuselage roundels are undersized.

Rather thought his wheel pants could benefit from a bit of weathering too.

I'll not mention the pilot's wristwatch is one not introduced until 1942...

Just got my first Pulp plane. New to all that is 'Pulpy'. Got the 1/77th Ford Tri Motor from ebay for just £3.00 so not a massive financial outlay and from the pics on Page 1 ok scale wise if you stand on your head and squint

Top, top work fellas! . I'll need to post a few of mine when I get a mo, but thanks for all the inspiration.  I may have missed this, but old Aurora kits from 20-30 years ago sometimes appear on eBay, and there are some crackers on their.  I got my monster DH10 there for not a lot of wonga.

You've got me looking on eBay now for one! It looks like a great kit.
