Post by: ScranJ51 on March 20, 2018, 05:31:35 AM: Just finished:

The Fairey Delta 2 or FD2 (internal designation Type V within Fairey) was a British supersonic research aircraft produced by the Fairey Aviation Company in response to a specification from the Ministry of Supply for a specialised aircraft for conducting investigations into flight and control at transonic and supersonic speeds. Key features of the type include the adoption of a delta wing and a droop-nose. On 6 October 1954, the Delta 2 conducted its maiden flight, flown by Fairey test pilot Peter Twiss; a total of two aircraft would be produced. The Delta 2 was the final aircraft to be produced by Fairey as an independent manufacturer.

The Fairey Delta 2 is the first jet aircraft to exceed 1000 mph in level flight,[2] flying faster than the sun moves across the sky. On 10 March 1956, it set a new world speed record of 1,132 mph during a test flight. The Delta 2 held the absolute World Air Speed Record for over a year. It continued to be used for test flights, and was allocated to the Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE) in 1958.

The kit was second-hand and had no transparencies, so the front cockpit is from a spitfire, modified to fit - not perfect but close.

The original decals fell apart so these are theoretical markings.

Enjoy

Post by: Brian da Basher on March 20, 2018, 05:58:05 AM: Looks every bit the credible test bed, Scran!

I especially like your work on the canopy. It's a bonus saving a kit like that.

Well done!

Post by: elmayerle on March 20, 2018, 10:46:42 AM: Beautiful job!! If this is the old Frog kit (remolded under other names), I'm quite impressed because, IIRC, it didn't come with much in the way of transparencies when new.
Title: Re: Recent Builds
Post by: ScranJ51 on March 20, 2018, 12:27:27 PM: Yes the VERY old Frog kit.

Side and top transparencies were created by taping over on the outside and using transparency glue (which drys clear)>

I had several vacform Spit canopies - was a matter of trial, cut, trial etc. till it looked reasonable

Post by: ScranJ51 on April 02, 2018, 08:38:52 AM: Couple more:

first is the Special Hobby 1/72nd D558-2 Skyrocket research aircraft.

Not fun to build, and the gear LOOKED a nightmare - so mounted in a flying pose.

(https://farm1.staticflickr.com/877/41126493842_1f1eb8a796_z.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/25Ed2N3)d558-01 (https://flic.kr/p/25Ed2N3) by David Freeman (https://www.flickr.com/photos/153018533@N06/), on Flickr

Also a pain to build - the Matchbox 1/72nd Brewster Buffalo.

Had to built this mounted because the plastic is so brittle the gear snapped when I tried to separate it from the sprue

Title: Re: Recent Builds
Post by: John Howling Mouse on April 05, 2018, 10:09:47 AM: Cool, cool, cool. All very nice models. I'm with Brian: those prop blurs are terrific. Aftermarket PE or did you make them yourself?
Title: Re: Recent Builds
Post by: ScranJ51 on April 05, 2018, 01:39:11 PM: the Propblur is all aftermarket - bought about two years ago (1/72nd 4 blades, and several single blades plus soem 1/4th sets)

Difficult decals to work with - and not the best job I'm afraid. :(

Also, the old Linburgh B70 kit - 1/180th scale.

Bought off Evil Bay, and the seller "Neglected" to mention there was no transparency >:D

I'll use some overhead projecter acete slides or some such to make a canopy eventually.

Decals were also shot so these are theoretical and scavenged from other (1/72nd) kits 8)
