Welcome Robert, Jennifer and Gorby, very pleased to have your interest 🙂 your definitely right there @gorby. I mean I'm used to building 'duff' old kits, but this kit is duffer than the duffest thing ever made by the worlds duffest person! If that makes sense! Hahaha 🤣🤣

With all the faith within me I summon blessings upon you in this build Neil. This one makes AA Models look like Hasegawa. With that said I felt a great sense of accomplishment upon finishing mine ( something I rarely feel).

it takes courage to even start such a great quality model.... but you are certainly getting good result out of it, looking forward the end result

Welcome! Thanks very much for all your encouraging words mates. You talented bunch are all very kind to show interest in my efforts with such a humble kit. It's definitely fighting me! I've got it a bit further along now, will add some imagery soon - we're at the primer, sand, prime, sand stage. Hahaha!

Thanks for wrestling with this beast of a kit so I don't have to. 👍 Looking good so far with lots of your elbow grease.
7 March, 21:56
![](/profiles/img/49836-796-s.jpg)
Cheers mate! 🙂 Thanks for your encouragement. I'll continue the battle on this one 👍

I'm used to building old kits that need 'help'. But this one needs a bit more than usual. After a lot of pre-paint priming filling/scraping/hacking/filing/sanding work and then more post primer fiddling, it's beginning to take shape somewhat. I couldn't resist giving it a blast of aluminium lightly on the wings last night! 😉 👍
10 May, 13:12
![](/profiles/img/20442-422-s.jpg)
Remarkable perseverance and patience Neil. Most people would have given up on it by now.
10 May, 14:16
![](/profiles/img/49836-796-s.jpg)
Hi Gorby 👍 Thanks mate! Yeah, I'll get it into some kind of Mustang shape hopefully.
10 May, 19:17
![](/profiles/img/15497-946-s.jpg)
I for sure would have given up!
a lot of work but the result is convincing 👍
11 May, 06:44
![](/profiles/img/106289-364-s.jpg)
Is it weird that I could feel your pain, just by looking at the photos of your build?
11 May, 11:36
![](/profiles/img/49836-796-s.jpg)
Hi Thomas 🙂 yeah, it's tried my patience that's for sure. Thanks for your words of encouragement though mate, really appreciated 👍 I'll get there. At the end of the day, if it looks (a bit) like a Mustang then it is a Mustang!! Obviously it's no Hasegawa! @mike, hehehe. Yeah I've kept my language polite, but not surprised my pain was still apparent! 🤣 Thanks for dropping by 👍
11 May, 12:39
![](/profiles/img/49836-796-s.jpg)
Thanks Nathan - I know you 'appreciate' this kit journey also! I'm really not sure that a stars and stripes aluminium scheme is gonna be the easiest finish to help hide imperfections of this kit either. But I'll do my best 👍
15 May, 12:16
![](/profiles/img/31412-245-s.jpg)
Following! Watching your builds of those older kits is something I can never get enough of because of the quality of your builds and the nostalgia factor. Big Respect from my side. Greetings, Patryk.
15 May, 12:57
![](/profiles/img/49836-796-s.jpg)
Hi Patryk 🙂 Thanks mate! That means a lot. It's true that more often than not, it's a bit of a slog to get these oldies into shape. It's often tempting to bin one, hahaha 🤣 Especially when I look on the feed and see all these wonderful new kits which seem to (nearly always) fit in such an accomplished manner. But I rather masochisticaly choose to continue! Who knows why!? You're very kind, especially as I'm aware of your own skills. Greetings back atcha matey 😎👍
15 May, 20:27
![](/profiles/img/49836-796-s.jpg)
Hi mates. Thanks very much for checking in again and your encouraging words, hope you're both well 🙂 👍 Your feedback is most gratefully received and buoys me up to continue attacking this dastardly duo! POW! BANG! KAPOW! 👍 😉
28 June, 09:35
![](/profiles/img/121752-978-s.jpg)
It'a always a joy seeing someone transform an older, ill-fitting kit into a work of art. following!
6 July, 15:20
![](/profiles/img/49836-796-s.jpg)
Hiya CaptGPF 👍 you're extremely kind to me, I'm trying to drag this kit into something respectable, it's not the best kit (understatement!) But it is a stunningly beautiful airframe and surprisingly large too! Thanks for your compliment 🙏
@Mr D thanks very much for your message also, I've built a few metallic finish aircraft of late, with each build my ability to add shade and depth to a metal finish is improving, though a long way from great! 👍
Thanks also for the likes to all who've dropped by too 🙂 I've parked it for a few days again to let everything cure. But more pics again soon 👍
6 July, 22:59
![](/profiles/img/141759-133-s.png)
See what you mean, the canopy is 1:46 scale 🤣, lve often had to re-make parts from old spru's n use super glue-gel to build up poorly moulded parts. It's not good but part of modeling l think.
Looking good 👌

I'm beating it into shape - slowly! Handful of recent pics added. Thanks for the likes all too 🙂 👍

An old Frog kit under the banner of Eastern Express. A fair amount of flash to get off but nothing major. 🙂

Following. Looking forward to this one and yours when it comes Gordon.
24 January 2021, 19:36
![](/profiles/img/69735-368-s.jpg)
Thanks Guy. Hope you don't mind but I've just loaded up a few photos of my effort last summer. Not in your class obvs but reminded me I hadn't done so yet. 🙂 👍
24 January 2021, 21:01
![](/profiles/img/37273-426-s.jpg)
I've just had a look and commented Gary. I hope mine turns out as good as yours. The Special Hobby version is in a different class to the old Frog one. 🙂

![](/profiles/img/37273-426-s.jpg)
Interior of aircraft Val lejo RAF interior green. Pilot, gunner and cockpit inserted into the fuselage.
Fuselage together and wings attached. Apart from some filling on the wing attachments to fuselage, not a bad fit. 🙂
21 February 2021, 11:34
![](/profiles/img/69735-368-s.jpg)
Looking good so far. 👍. Apparently it was a bit of lumbering beast. But I have to say... those shaped wings... gotta love 'em.
21 February 2021, 13:41
![](/profiles/img/13136-468-s.jpg)
Great detail (what little there is in this kit) painting. What colour did you use? I am thinking of using Model Master Green Zinc Chromate, then a Dark Gray Wash, and a maybe some Prismacolour Silver pencil to simulator wear...
23 February 2021, 14:50
![](/profiles/img/37273-426-s.jpg)
@Gary, thanks for your kind comments and yes, the wings are so very different to anything I've built before 🙂
@ Gordon thanks for your kind comments. I used Vallejo Model Air interior green (specific to RAF) I do like your ideas for your version. 🙂
@Lukasz thanks for looking! The machine guns are hugely out of scale. 🙂
25 February 2021, 18:38
![](/profiles/img/37273-426-s.jpg)
Top of aircraft Vallejo Model Air BS Green and BS Dark Earth applied. Bottom of aircraft, Vallejo Model Air Sky. 🙂
16 March 2021, 20:13
![](/profiles/img/37273-426-s.jpg)
Canopy masked and painted, gloss varnish and OOB decals put on. (The decals supplied were awful).
4 April 2021, 11:52
![](/profiles/img/34728-244-s.jpg)
This white background is making the plane too dark. Pity if you ask me. There is a lot of nice details to see.
4 April 2021, 11:53
![](/profiles/img/37273-426-s.jpg)
A few more photos, now ready for the matt varnish and final weathering. 🙂
4 April 2021, 12:54
![](/profiles/img/37273-426-s.jpg)
Finally regarded as complete. Not a great model in terms of fit and decals, but an unusual aircraft.
This model depicts an 84 Sqn RAF Vengeance that operated out of India over Burma during 1943. 🙂
5 April 2021, 15:22
![](/profiles/img/34728-244-s.jpg)
It reminds me of the Frog version I did back in the 70's. The end result of yours is much more attractive though.
5 April 2021, 16:14
![](/profiles/img/37273-426-s.jpg)
Many thanks mates for your very kind comments 🙂
@ Olivier: you are indeed correct, although this was released by Eastern Express, it is indeed the Frog tooling.
5 April 2021, 16:40
![](/profiles/img/31412-245-s.jpg)
Very nice model! Brings back memories as I did assemble it from the zts boxing when I was a kid. Thanks for sharing!
5 April 2021, 17:48
![](/profiles/img/13641-502-s.jpg)
It brings memories back indeed 👍 And reminds it was not an easy one 😄 Nice result mate
5 April 2021, 18:48
![](/profiles/img/38460-541-s.jpg)
It is really very difficult to produce something presentable out of some of those older Frog kits.
The Vengeance is one of those, and you made a terrific job here Guy...👍
Despite of the sinkholes at the upper front Fuselage but anyway i like the result a lot mate 👍
5 April 2021, 20:19
![](/profiles/img/13136-468-s.jpg)
Very nice finish, Guy! I hope mine turns out half as good as yours!

![](/profiles/img/37273-426-s.jpg)
Thanks for the kind comment Duster_d. 👍 The only thing I can recommend is to get some after market decals as the ones provided are quite naff. 👍
Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Duster_d, Rui R & Matti T. 👍
11 April, 15:17
![](/profiles/img/138076-707-s.jpg)
Guy Rump, yes, the decal in my "Vengeance" from ARK is simple, the same variants as in the original 1974 FROG decal. But there are two copies from different manufacturers in the box, ARK has an eternal mess with decals 🙂

Hi every body. Yes a tricky subject. I was tempted by the WnW kit but would need to move house to display it. As they now seem to have gone bust anyway not much chance. Hopefully they will pick up again when the world becomes sane again. Welcome aboard.

Hi Erik. Im gonna cheat a bit on the rigging. I just wrap them around the uprights rather than sticking each one. Tried this awhile back on the little Airfix 1/72 BE2c and it worked well. Its just too fiddly at 1/72 to anchor every line. Mind you I have seen a few that have managed this with superb results. Im just too lazy these days. [img1]
28 April 2020, 12:02
![](/profiles/img/27411-254-s.jpg)
Got this one in the stash - will definitely be watching for pointers!
28 April 2020, 12:51
![](/profiles/img/32952-618-s.jpg)
Thanks Gordan. Looks like a stick of sea side rock. Youd certainly spot it in the ocean pretty easily.

Hi Mike 🙂 Can You tell me something more about building this kit? It's in my field of interest and sooner or later I will get one 🙂 (I'm looking for Roden 019kit with this red-white twisting paintjob😉 )
10 May 2020, 15:31
![](/profiles/img/32952-618-s.jpg)
Thanks Laurent. Hi Jan and Rene. Yes sure will do. I will caption photos as i go along. Happy to try an answer any questions. So far im enjoying it. My second Roden kit so i'm getting used to their rather vague diagrams. Its all rather imprecise and prone to interpretation - but thats all part of the fun and skill required.
10 May 2020, 23:38
![](/profiles/img/32952-618-s.jpg)
Time for some weathering. Not a lot of surface detail to bring out. Have seen a few reference photos and they did get pretty filthy. Just a wash of dilute black/brown then hard brushed off.
14 June 2020, 14:05
![](/profiles/img/32952-618-s.jpg)
Those wings really were huge. You wonder how it ever got off the water. Amazing they could fly for up to five hours. Sub hunting. Quite a few used by RNAS.
29 June 2020, 11:14
![](/profiles/img/48665-446-s.jpg)
Spectacular build - excellent colors & all the rigging more complex than on a small sailing ship... 👍

Really impressive! I'm waiting for a Curtis H-16 to appear in 1:48 one day ...
26 July 2020, 11:53
![](/profiles/img/32952-618-s.jpg)
Wow. You obviously like that one! Thank you all very much for your very kind comments. Yes, a challenging build but turned out alright. Still think the wings droop too much, but couldn't find a decent work around. Next time!! Added a few more pics today. A great kit from Roden.
26 July 2020, 11:53
![](/profiles/img/21096-573-s.jpg)
website says that they have suspended activity due to covid. but they plan to resume when situation is normal.... so not busted. or at least not yet.... that will be sad if happens.
7 October 2020, 09:03
![](/profiles/img/32952-618-s.jpg)
Yes it is sad about Wingnut. It certainly looks like they have gone for good. Staff have been laid off and absolute silence from Weta. Lets hope somebody buys out the stock and re-establishes the brand. A very ready and willing audience awaits Peter!
7 October 2020, 09:12

Thanks very much Predrag and Erik. Used EZline for the rigging. Makes it sooo much easier.

![](/profiles/img/69735-368-s.jpg)
Wow Mike. Certainly not one for a beginner! This looks complex and challenging but ultimately amazing. Hats off, sir.
7 October 2020, 11:22
![](/profiles/img/21096-573-s.jpg)
i really wanted to get one of those WnW kits... but i was hesitant due to the price... now that they are "collector" item, a quick search made really clear that the prices out there have gone through the roof.... and the few with "cheap" prices, are obvious internet scam shops (be careful with those).... c'est la vie.
7 October 2020, 11:25
![](/profiles/img/32952-618-s.jpg)
Thanks a lot Gary. A little experience certainly helps with Roden kits. They are a bit different from other makes with a lot of balancing/wiggling required. I think a jig might help, especially on this one with those enormous wings.
7 October 2020, 11:26
![](/profiles/img/32952-618-s.jpg)
Didnt know that Spanjaard. But I guess a lot of former Wingnut customers are probably buying them all up. Thats great for Roden as I understand they are now going to start producing more WW1 kits. I got mine on eBay and if anything this is less than i paid for it. Snap one up!
https://ebay.co.uk/i/1844698..qOPR9gSikE7zqUxoCkYQQAvD_BwE
7 October 2020, 11:30
![](/profiles/img/32952-618-s.jpg)
I would say yes. But the Roden is 1/72 whereas the Wingnut is 1/32. Hence the rather large difference in price. Wingnut kits are/were just amazing.
7 October 2020, 11:39
![](/profiles/img/21096-573-s.jpg)
and congratulations again for a stunning model. hard to believe it is 1/72!
7 October 2020, 14:39
![](/profiles/img/32952-618-s.jpg)
Thank you. A tough build. Really wish i had strengthened the main wing joints. I could not get them level. Next time!
31 August 2021, 23:24
![](/profiles/img/27446-653-s.jpg)
Very well-done build Mike. I have this kit in my stash and as always seeing a beautiful build such as this gives me motivation.
