Simon Norton1707820138 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I'd really like to see a Fairey Rotodyne but with a small extra sprue for the rotor blade dampers, third tail fin and pitot tube and the decals for it's final incarnation as the Westland Rotodyne.

GeoFF03 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I got one off e-bay awhile ago. When I see just how much work it would take to make a half-way decent model (ill fitting rear cargo doors etc) it goes back into its box untill I'm feeling more masochistic. Unfortunately, the same can be said about a lot of the other 60's produced kits being suggested after you take off the rose coloured glasses.

Unfortunately, the same can be said about a lot of the other 60's produced kits being suggested after you take off the rose coloured glasses. That's most of the fun of building old kits! All kits need a bit of sanding and filling and scratch building any missing details just adds to the enjoyment.The trick with the rear cargo doors, is to fit them to the fuselage so they are flush with the exterior before gluing the fuselage halves together. From memory the doors are narrower than the fuselage. Then sanding the joins on the rear part of the fuselage, behind the rotor hub, until the doors and the fuselage are level.

David Jones1707820337 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Would be very tempted - especially after reading Stuart Slade's "Lion Resurgent" with "Fairey 'Jungly' Rotodynes operating in an alternate Falklands campaign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZacYates87 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Sign me up for one. I've always been fascinated to see and hear footage of the beast in action. And now I need to track down that book, thanks Ossian! Sounds intriguing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GPAFF Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Personally I would not have the patience, however I personally know a few dozen that would. Not only that but it would demonstrate to those who know no better that an autogyro is very capable indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
