    Double decker air bus

    This is the 1/144 Breguet Br.763 from F-RSIN (despite the name, this is an injection moulded kit). A really difficult build from start to finish, this is the kind of thing I had to deal with:-











    And here's the finished piece, full-build article in the latest Airfix Model World mag.

    That is awesome Mike. You would never think that this is the same kit in the sprue shots my hat goes off to you

      Nothing like a garage manufacturer to really test your metal.

      A test that you passed with flying colours Mike.

      What a great result.

        I actually read the article only last night and I had to admit it really did seem like it was making a silk purse out of a sows ear. A fantastic build out of a very basic quality kit but at the end of the day, as with all the lower volume kits, you end up with a very rare model. Beautiful job.

                Didn't think it was possible magic in plastic but looking at the kit sprue shots I have now seen it with my own eyes you are a true magician mike.I have battled with some horrible kits in the past and although I feel I turned them into something half decent I have or never will reach this standard of yours. time to hang up my sprue cutters I feel...........argghhhhh only kidding I will keep fighting the good fight and continue to drool of your builds in AMW well done Mike you are an inspiration to myself and many others keep them coming

                  A rose garden from a mound of weeds. Awesome work Mike, this looks superb. Another testament to your skill and patience.

                    That was some nasty looking raw material to work with Mike. As usual you pulled it off! Very nicely done Sir!

                            Superb skills Mike and a fantastic looking model of a very interesting subject. I have been tempted by these F-Rsin kits in the past (comet 4 ) so its good to see whats lurking in the box ! I usually relish the challenge of a limited run kit , the satisfaction you get from turning something like this into a decent build is great , you deserve a medal for beating this one though! never has a great build gong been more deserving! cheers tony
