One model per (non-working) day

I stand corrected...

Thanks everyone.
Ok, the model is close to the real thing. After some corrections and another test build (of the trainer version) I will release it.
Here some pictures of the completed one seater.

@Ken,
FYI the Hampden has been done quite some time ago (before I joined the site) without landing gear.
Odd that nobody asks for the Albemarle.

Awesome Bruno! Tejas is very nice plane like a downscale Mirage 2000.

[Falco]

Getting better and better... keep them coming!

[Sygrod]

... the Albemarle... Of course. And I even checked a list to make sure I didn't leave an important plane out. I am having a blast trying to put your Wellington together. I up-scaled it to 1:200 to go with my other models. The machine gun turrets are a particular challenge. I also printed out the Halifax, Sterling and Lancaster and discovered something peculiar. The Wellington engines are 11% larger than the Halifax and Stirling engines. They are supposedly the same engine (or at least interchangeable).

Hi Ken,
Checked and confirmed. The reason for this is the tiny scale and the approximations made. The Wellington engine grows narrower towards the front in 1:1 scale but here in 1:300 land I kept it rather straight Therefore the front circle is bigger than it should be.

Of course upscaling enforces that difference.

One day I should do them in 1:100 scale ... one day.

Oops, I started daydreaming.

Yes, as did I! Those would be great at 1/100

Bruno, to quote the younger generation, you are awesome. When it comes to some of the WW2 planes, I have a request / suggestion. To include optional main frames and wing spars. It can be tricky to get he right dihedral on some of these planes. I managed to find some 28lb / 98 g/m paper and it is perfect for making models in 1:200. Vickers Warwick is another gem.

Day dreaming to me is 1/300, and may be the rest of bomber command or Maritime patrol like the Neptune or the Atlantique, or the Dash-7, buffalo or Caribou!

Just day dreaming!!!!

And then there was the Vickers Windsor and the could have been Supermarine 316 (B12.36)
