Westland Gromit light bomber.FINISHED.
« on: November 16, 2016, 07:19:02 AM »
This 50 cent Air Lines(FROG) 1/72 Westland Wallace had no clear parts or decals. I got a bunch of Stoppel small air forces decals for free. I scratchbuilt the gunner's position and a firewall. The kit motor and propeller don't look so hot, so I'm using an Aeroclub white-metal Armstrong-Siddeley Panther motor and propeller.

More later.

Adios, Larry.

Finished. Brush-painted Testors #1146 Silver. Stoppel roundels and painted rudder stripes.











My inspiration was a profile of a Persian radial-engined Hawker Fury that was in the ancient Profile Publication Fury Book. Besides Wallace & Gromit go together like toast and jam.

Was browsing Westland Wallace pictures.  Nice job of turning second seat into a gun position.  Done similar and appreciate what's involved.
Looks every bit what a Westland Gromit bomber should be. :)

I really like your representation of wood on the prop, Larry! One would never know the part was metal.

Those markings were a great choice for that silver scheme too!

Very easy on the eyes!

This is the best biplane build I seen in many a year. A crate of Wensleydale cheese is on its way to you.
