Hows this for a quick build. Ive had two days off sick (flu) so instead of sitting around feeling sorry for myself, ive been building. I started prepping the kits for my two entrys on the 28th feb, and started building in earnest on the 1st.

First one is already done and will have its public debut at the Peterbrough show (sat 4th march). build number two is about 75-80% done as well.



BEA operated Faiery Rotodyne srs 2.  G-ROTO,  on the Scilly Isle's link out of Penzance.
I always hope for the best.

Absitively splentacular my friend! Top notch! Number two build pics please!


BTW, can I have the box that the Rotodyne is sitting on? Empty, not with its contents - maybe just the boxart? Please? PLEASE?



:wub:  :wub: Love the build, I want to see an Air New Zealand or Qantas one.

Martin to start with you did not have flu - no way you cold model if you dod - you probably had man-flu  ^_^

Secondly - on what is to be honest not a great kit - and in two days, stunning.

Enjoy Peterborough

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Jesus Christ! And I thought I was quick off the mark!!! That is a thing of beauty Martin. I only hope I can do justice to mine when the time comes.

no idea if its a tail sitter Leigh. I glued a pair of lead 38 slugs to the rear of the cockpit bulk head (either side of the door) to make sure it didnt tail sit. Shes now very nose heavy LOL
