Old Collingwood Posted August 29, 2023 #1 Posted August 29, 2023 Hi all, this was the first kit I brought many years back that got me back into modeling, it was just a basic build with no tools just the contents of the box that included paints a brush and glue, it was just thrown together during a few afternoons while watching naval ship movements through our old window.

Indeed mate, sometimes easier models built straight out the box while doing other stuff can be real fun. OC.

DocRob Posted August 29, 2023 #6 Posted August 29, 2023 A nice little kit, you built there OC, I like it. Simplicity sometime sharpens the focus for other demanding projects. Airfix is releasing a new tool 1/48 kit of the Sea King soon and it looks, like my 1/72 will be left unbuild.

Until someone comes along with a 1/32nd scale version.... (don't say it won't be done, just look at the 1/35th skycrane they said would never be done) It will be a nice kit though... king derelict, Old Collingwood, Canute and 2 others 5 Quote Current Build: F-86F-30 Sabre by Egilman - Kinetic - 1/32nd scale In the Garage: East Bound & Down, Building a Smokey & the Bandit Kenworth Rig in 1/25th scale Completed: M8A1 HST 1930 Packard Boattail Speedster M1A1 75mm Pack Howitzer F-4J Phantom II Bell H-13's P-51B/C Temporary Suspension: USS Gwin DD-433 F-104C Starfighter "Blue Jay Four" 1/32nd Scale Terminated Build: F-104C Starfighter ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote: "Relish Today, Ketchup Tomorrow"

king derelict Posted August 30, 2023 #11 Posted August 30, 2023 Lovely model OC. It's getting scary that I remember this one as a new aircraft after the Wessex and I suppose that holds true for a lot of other aircraft. It seems like the 50s through 70s generated so many aircraft Alan mtaylor, Egilman, Canute and 1 other 4 Quote
