Louie da fly Posted August 16, 2018 #3 Posted August 16, 2018 A nice project, and I especially like your creative use of Lego. It could be a worthwhile tool for other modelling activities.

Lucius Molchany Posted August 16, 2018 Author #5 Posted August 16, 2018 I did not have the decals so I made stencils out of thin plastic and airbrushed them on. Worked well with some touch up required. popeye the sailor and lmagna 2 Quote
Lucius Molchany Posted August 16, 2018 Author #7 Posted August 16, 2018 I did not have an engine for it ,so I took the front bank of 7 cylinders from a 1/32 Revell Beaufighter and sleeved them with aluminum tubing and wrapped with 22 gauge wire to simulate cooling fins.Brass wire serves as pushrods.Too heavy to fly,this will make an interesting ceiling hanger. davyboy, Baker, popeye the sailor and 1 other 4 Quote
