BlrwestSiR Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Just a visit to the bench of the biggest box in my stash. The inner box with the Hobby boss B-24 for size comparison. The wing compared to the Hasegawa 1/48 kit The short trip was printed by my procrastination of ordering of LEDs to light the model when I finally start it this year. Hopefully when the Vosper is done. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 CArl Pretty neat. The box is about the same size as the Border Lancaster and comes in a shipping carton as well, just as the Valkyrie. Going to be a great project to follow. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Peter, it's about twice the size of the Border Lanc box. The one kit takes up a whole shelf in my stash. Once I start it, I'll have much room to fill up with new kits. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For now, I have my Border Lancaster box residing in a spot in our kitchen as it's so big I need to still find a place for it until she hits the bench. I can only imagine how big the Valkyrie actually is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 They're a limited run kit. The gent who owns the company did a small run and as far as I know, that was it. He has some other releases coming including a Sea Harrier and a Jaguar I believe. There's also a joint venture with another company called Flying S and they're going to do a Martin Baker MB5. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winnie Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 The A-6 is on the bench but then I said yes to overtime (gotta finance the habit) and the wife took a dive and ended up with a severe concussion... no glue-sniffing or noises for the time being! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far just the upper wing so that I can get a sorta decent wing root fit. Carl When I built mine a few years ago I got so mad at it, before I attached the wings, I threw it on the floor! The thick carpet kept it from getting too much damage and I was able to resume the build a little later after I had cooled down. LOL I swore then I'd never buy another Fly kit and I haven't! 😬 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hurricane was the more challenging with getting the MLG bay and the cockpit sorted. I've got another Hurricane in the stash to go. I must be a glutton for punishment. I just ordered another Special Hobby T-33. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I finally wound up removing some of the framework to MAKE it fit. 🤪 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
