tony oneill 1 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Hi pete, nice work. Can i ask the scale of the pilot? I thought about 1/8th possibly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low pass Pete Posted March 16, 2019 Author Share Posted March 16, 2019 I think he is 1/8. He came from DB Sport and Scale (unpainted) and I added a bit more lower body so he is taller than supplied. He is destined for a DB Sport and Scale 58in Tiger Moth (if I ever finish it) so I may well source another pilot for Renaissance.

Low pass Pete Posted September 7, 2019 Author Share Posted September 7, 2019 Thanks Piers. I really dragged my heals on this build, but got there in the end. I am pleased with the final look but some of my covering is not brilliant Details - - Engine OS62V 4 stroke. - Dubro tank with a double clunk which is helpful when defuelling - Wings and tail - Silver Solartex - Fus Blue Profilm which I had left over from my Ballerina 2016 Mass build - Flash on Fus is silver Solartrim - Diamonds on Wing and rudder stripes White Solartrim and blue Profilm - Lettering supplied by Inwoods Models (thanks Nick) - Weight no idea as not checked it but it has come out light. cheers Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Peter The pilot decided he liked the plane and refused to move so I glued him in. For those with very sharp eyes you might be able to see a red triangle on his upper arm with a white XV on it. Apparently he used to be a member of 15(XV) Squadron (RAF). Mind you I don't recall seeing him when I was on the squadron back in the Buccaneer days at Laarbruch in Germany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Walby Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Pete, Looks really good and glad you have finished it off in time for next week. If it flies anything like mine and I am sure it will be as its better built you will be impressed. PS - at least your pilot isn't looking as ruff-alo as mine!
