An interesting world of British 20's-30's aircraft. Also did some more digging around getting background of engines and the IIIF or its heirs and successors tried quite a few.
Fairey Seal, Fairey Gordon, direct descendants, with different engines. Then there was sales to overseas buyers, often with a different engine.
It was almost that my proposed whiffer was a RW model
.
Thought about tossing it in for this.. a Merlin Models Gloster Grebe, another one that popped out of the stash while looking for something else. What was I on when I bought that
It was a bigger task to hammer into shape than the Vac Form. I don't dare show the other one that was with it, also Merlin Models, their Curtiss Wright CW-21 which is an all metal kit. What were THEY on when they decided that was a good idea.
So back to work on the III <whatever>
No problems about redoing the awful injection stuff. That had been decided very early
Replaced the landing gear with brass and Aeroclub strut. Much easier
Revisited the rigging holes
Whacked in some new struts to the replace the 4x2 rough sawn timber looking things that had been supplied with the kit. And another engine variation, I think it is a Pratt and Witney with that cooling gizmo they had.
