Classic British Flight Sim

Hi all,

I am going into hospital this week for surgery for sun related skin cancer (prognosis good) and I thought I would have a crack at building the Stirling while I'm convalescing. The Stirling is the one heavy bomber kit I never built in my Airfix youth. Anyway I was surfing the net and came across this build

To give you a taste of what is there

Hope things go well for you

The model is impressive, but that is a heavily modified part sratch built build. The in box kit is nothing like that

Are you going to try to do that??

No.. that's detail above and beyond what Airfix give you

Good luck with the op Paul

Well I hope I'm not convalescing that long.

If you are going the glue the two fuse' halves together I don't see the point of all that work. I'll just print those pictures off and say that what it is like inside

An excellent idea

It is rather good though isn't it but as you say, with both halves glued together, you're gonna miss a great deal of that sort of detail. Hardly seems worth the effort.

Best wishes for your op Paul.I'm sure you'll last a lot longer than many of the poor sods that had to fly in bomber command in WW2,bless them. EricT

I wonder if he uses something other than glue to hold the two halves in place, so that it can be opened up? Little magnets maybe?

In the final shots.. it looks completely/permanently joined. Difficult to see how he'd get the join to look so smooth if it were a temp job

A few folk that detail to this standard cut away areas, but most do this then seal it up, losing most of it

There are a few large scale bombers likethe 1/48 models that have a pretty full interior built out of the box but it's all lost

Thanks for the good wishes.
