Playing in the Sandbox Group Build Sept 1, 2024 - Jn 1, 2025

1/48 Wellington Mk.X (He727 NA-K)


Recommended Posts

I'm new here, making nothing smaller than 1/48th, but mostly 1/32 and the occasional 1/24th......

At the Brooklands museum they have 2 wellingtons, one complete and not open to the public, but also a fuselage, un-covered, that is open and mostly complete with internal fittings. I'd have posted this earlier....

Hope this retrospective helps!! 

Peter

More pics! I wasn't happy with the huge aerial photo base. So I had one printed new, to the exact size of a wooden plinth i bought.

I marked the crash location with concentric circles (in the shape of a RAF roundel). Only need to blend the dibond panel to the wood more.

Then to find a way to display the crash relic to the wooden base.

Hi JeroenPeters,

I'm new to this group and just discovered your build (six years late! 😄).  Your work is OUTSTANDING AND INSPIRING!!!  This is the first online build (really, any build) I've seen of this kit with all of the detailing.  I have this kit and the Eduard detail sets for it.  I've always been intrigued by the Eduard bomb bay (reminds me of an Erector set) and I was thinking about doing some serious work in it next year.  But I just wish I had someone with a lot of PE experience to work with me hands-on (i.e., there with me while I am working).  Yes, I have done PE before, but not this extensively!  

Alslo, one other question, as I don't know much about Wimpys- my kit is the Mk. III, like yours.  But how does it visibly differ from the Mk. X, which you built, or other sub-types?  I'd like to explore decal options for mine, but I just don't know how different the sub-types are.  Thanks if you can help and again, AWESOME job!
