Airfix First kit Tribute.

[Guest]

Hi Bubba

I really like this kit and you have made it come out very well.

I didnt dislike building mine but it was a horror to get it to fit in the hull stage.

I really like your rear window sections really good job

I didn't rig mine as well as yours (I think I got a little tired)[ATTACH]56021.vB[/ATTACH]I did use a for of cloth for the sails and I think they look better than the ones supplied in the kit.

Cheers for the input

Hi Mossie

I would have replied earlier but I've been in China for a while and now I'm back I want to get started on my next project which is a Revell Mitchell which needs to be restored as its previous owner rather killed it I will start it as a new thread and post pics then but thanks for you kind words about the Golden Hind their much apprieciated and I can't spell today either LOL

I C you live in Darlo thats not that far from me in Newcastle.

PS I fancy a go at the 24th scale Airfix Mossie I think I could have a good bash at that

Have you had a go at it. wondered what its fit is like and so on

This thread has drifted quite a long way from the original Airfix Golden Hind kit issued in the mid 50's. The first iterations of those small ship models were waterline models with a sea bass included in the kit. The Golden Hind, Victory, Shannon and Cutty Sark were originally waterline models that were changed into full hull models at a later date. Cannot remember if any of the others in that range were originally made as waterline models. Mayflower and Great Western I think we're full hu!l models from the outset, but I could be wrong. Not sure if the Revenge was one of this range of not.
