Westland Gromit light bomber. FINISHED.

[CSMO]

This Air Lines 1/72 Westland Wallace had no clear parts or decals. I paid 50 cents for it and I have a bunch of Stoppel small Air Force decals that I got for free. Cheap fun.

I scratchbuilt a gunner's position and a forward firewall. The kit motor looks strange, so I am using an Aeroclub Armstrong-Siddeley Panther white-metal motor.

More later.

Adios, Larry.

Lovely! Love me some FROG!

Bargain!
Surely there wasn't much clear on that anyway and who uses the kit decals (on the kit they are meant for).

[Old Wombat]

Different!

[CSMO]

Current state of play.



Adios, Larry.

[The Wooksta!]

I've got one of those somewhere, although I can't think what I wanted to do with it.  Possibly a light transport.

Nice work.

[NARSES2]

Coming on well

[The Wooksta!]

I'd go with a name change - Wessex or Westminster may be better and certainly more alliterative.

Ye Gods Lee Aardman productions would never agree with you.

[TheChronicOne]

Looks good! 

[The Wooksta!]

Just dug mine out.  Looks a neat little kit.  That's now on the build pile.

Note for the Wooksta:

Since an OOB Wallace couldn't be done with what was in the box, I thought Gromit was appropriate. Wallace goes with Gromit like toast and jam. I love the Nick Park films.

Our trusty heroes are pictured below.



Adios, Larry.

[KiwiZac]

Based on the expression in that photo, perhaps Westland Wide-eye would be appropriate?

[CSMO]

Finished. Westland Gromit light bomber, Persian Air Force, 1930s. Brush-painted Testors #1146 Silver. Rudder stripes are painted and I used wheels from a FROG Blackburn Shark. Persian decals from a Stoppel sheet.











I am very satisfied with my finished model.

Adios, Larry.

VERY nice! I like it... Like she was draped with some really thick foil!   Kudos on that prop, too.
