I forgot to put this in the ideas so it is starting "in progress".

Made a start with the cockpit and some weight in the nose, hopefully it's enough. 🙂

Villiers de Vos
This will not be a tail sitter! Also booking my seat.

Guy Rump
Fuselage together, undercarriage fitted and aircrew added. 🙂

Welcome Nicolas & Villiers, thanks for your interest. 👍

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes NordMito, Matti T, Villiers DV & J35J. 👍

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

Gordon Sørensen
Following! I have the NOVO boxing, planning on doing it as a French machine!

Guy Rump
Welcome Gordon 🙂

Guy Rump
As usual you're very welcome Roland 🙂

Daniel Klink
Following this one 👍 "Good" old Frog days..

Guy Rump
You're very welcome Daniel 🙂

Gary Kitchen
Following. Looking forward to this one and yours when it comes Gordon.

Guy Rump
Welcome Gary, pull up a seat. 🙂

Gary Kitchen
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. 🙂 👍

Guy Rump
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. 🙂

Guy Rump
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. 🙂

Gary Kitchen
Looking good so far. 👍. Apparently it was a bit of lumbering beast. But I have to say... those shaped wings... gotta love 'em.

Gordon Sørensen
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...

Łukasz Gliński
Dat guns 😄 they look so starwarish/startrekkish 😄

Guy Rump
@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. 🙂

Guy Rump
Tail plane now on and Vallejo primer applied on the aircraft. 🙂

Guy Rump
Top of aircraft Vallejo Model Air BS Green and BS Dark Earth applied. Bottom of aircraft, Vallejo Model Air Sky. 🙂

Guy Rump
Canopy masked and painted, gloss varnish and OOB decals put on. (The decals supplied were awful).

Olivier
This white background is making the plane too dark. Pity if you ask me. There is a lot of nice details to see.

Guy Rump
Thanks for the tip Olivier, next one I'll not use the white. 🙂

Guy Rump
A few more photos, now ready for the matt varnish and final weathering. 🙂

Olivier
Much better this way. Waiting for the last lap then.

Guy Rump
Thanks Olivier 🙂

Guy Rump
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. 🙂

Olivier
It reminds me of the Frog version I did back in the 70's. The end result of yours is much more attractive though.

David Januska
Nice result👍.

Guy Rump
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.

Neil Patrick
Very nice Guy. Ugly aircraft. Beautiful model. 🙂

Patryk S.
Very nice model! Brings back memories as I did assemble it from the zts boxing when I was a kid. Thanks for sharing!

Guy Rump
@ Neil and @ Patryk many thanks for your kind comments 🙂

Łukasz Gliński
It brings memories back indeed 👍 And reminds it was not an easy one 😄 Nice result mate

Guy Rump
Many thanks Lukasz 🙂

Gary Kitchen
Great finish Guy. 👍

Guy Rump
Thanks Gary and many thanks for your earlier input 🙂

Daniel Klink
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 👍

Guy Rump
Many thanks Daniel, I appreciate your comments greatly 🙂

Gordon Sørensen
Very nice finish, Guy! I hope mine turns out half as good as yours!

Guy Rump
Many thanks Gordon 🙂

Duster_d
Wow! It looks just great! I have the same kit in the stash. Maybe I'll get to him someday 🙂

Guy Rump
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. 👍

Duster_d
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 🙂

Many thanks mate for your interest and like Neil. 👍

The next aircraft for my WW2 collection will be a bit bigger than the other ones I have built so far this year. 🙂

Guy Rump
Made a start on the B-25 C with the cockpit area. Mainly used Vallejo Model Air US Light Green 🙂

Many thanks mate for your interest and like Franck G. 👍

Guy Rump
Bomb bay added for both sides. Cockpit etc added to fuselage on one side. Ballast added to hopefully not make it a tail sitter. 🙂

Fuselage together, wings and tail attached. No real issues 🙂

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes William J, Mirko R & Djordje N. 👍

Guy Rump
Engines now attached to the wings and the rear undercarriage. 🙂

Many thanks mate for your interest and like Lukasz G. 👍

Guy Rump
Not much progress here, the front undercarriage was added and then further weights were added where I could in order to stop it being a tail sitter. 🙂

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Andrew B, Dave F, Bernd G & 1 other mate. 👍

Guy Rump
Main canopies and windows now attached and masked. Ready for primer! 🙂

Many thanks mate for your interest and like Alex. 👍
