Hurricane Boy Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Is that the Academy 1/600 Titanic, Patrick? Nice 😎No. The pic was of the Airfix Mauretania. I'm building the Academy 1/600 Titanic at the moment. Patrick and Ratchet. Beautiful models of the Mauretania. A hardworking troop ship during WWi but an elegant liner in peace time. That picture of Patrick's model in peace time livery certainly shows her classic lines. Models are a great way to remember her long service and years of record holding speed In the North Atlantic.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWR-Gordon-4 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Yes, the original Airfix forum was closed in March (DaveCov launched the ATF on April 21) and Hornby Hobbies took over in the August. You know what, I am generally surpised by this. I generally thought it was longer than 2006, when Hornby Hobbies purchased Airfix. Thank you for telling me this. I am very gald you have. 😀 GNR-Gordon-4 (AF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toboldlygo Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Found this one in the garage from years ago. Not made in Hawkers in Kingston, but hey ho ! /media/tinymce_upload/7c30ab8e12b5a37f54b798ea8f61c3cd.JPGThis from the days when I did not possess decal setting solution, hence the evident film around the lightning bolt & the serial. I was pleased with the ‘Italian’ squiggles on the leading edges though. See what you think. Very nice, I did the new Hurricane tooling back in 2016 - it came with that decal option. I went with the other scheme.. /media/tinymce_upload/ec2b6e1c89403f6425c4e06ac779e292.jpg /media/tinymce_upload/4920415a57be5eb7413ab9f4e687fe94.jpg And built within a mile of both the former Kingston Hawker Sites ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you very much for sharing it. Well done.Dominic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic Thomas Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 One I finished almost exactly 5 years ago, a Westland Rotodyne Z, the proposed production variant of the Fairey Rotodyne. Kit-bashed from one-and-a-half of the 1/72 Airfix Rotodynes and a Revell Transall C-160 (that donated the Rolls-Royce Tyne engines, part of the wings and the - unseen in these photos - interior): and just to prove that made it big enough to be a military load-carrier, test-fitting the Airfix 1/76 1-tonne FC Land Rover and 105mm Light gun: Tim,This is a really well finished model, thank you for sharing it. I have recently obtained one and was thinking of a similar sort of scheme. This is a great incentive to start the build.Dominic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the subject - shame I dont have a 1/48th Hurricane to try my hand at. Might have a go at a 1/72nd version though.Dominic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
