Welcome Moreno, Nicolas & Djordje! 👍

Patrick Hagelstein
Looking good Guy! I kinda like the stubby purposeful shape of a Boomerang.

Guy Rump
Wings were added to the fuselage. Filler added to several parts but not too much. 🙂

Thanks for your kind comment Patrick, it was definitely a strange shape for its time! 👍

Awesome job sir

Mark Sherwood
Excellent build/paint Guy. Much better than the Airfix 1.72 I suspect.

Guy Rump
Very many thanks Mark & Tcamp for your kind comments, I haven't built the Airfix version as yet Mark... 👍

The Airfix kit is from my Yoof' it came out in the mid sixties, built it in the seventies. So you can guess what it was like. 🥸🤘😅🤟🥸

Neuling
Interesting and well done!

Guy Rump
I remember it in the catalogue Mark in my Yoof but I never got one. 🙂

As an Aussie I approve of this build! 🙂

Guy Rump
I'm glad you do Stephen, it was a nice kit to make except for fitting the cockpit frame in which was quite a chore. 👍

Beautiful! Very nice! Love it

Roland Sachsenhofer
Looks like the installation of a new boiler... but is the very first shell of the 'Trevithick', the first steam locomotive....
The vintage kit doesn't appear to be bad and quite well thought out, only the plastic material in an unhealthy-soapy looking green plastic made me a little uneasy. But it will be fine! 🙂
I'm really looking forward to the next steps - a highly interesting and refreshingly different topic!

gorby
Looking forward to see what you can do with this oldie.

Alex K
👀

Roland Sachsenhofer
Appreciated, Gorby und Alex!

Roland Sachsenhofer
The main assemblies have now been completed. Care must be taken here to clean up the numerous ejection marks and the many moulding protrusions, but that's the only thing holding it up 🙂
The colours on the parts shown are, apart from the primer with black acrylic paint, Alclad II metal paints, namely Gunmetall, Steel... and above all Alclad ''Panzer Grey''. Traces of various shades of pastel crayon brown have been applied on top with a dry brush.

Juergen Klinglhuber
Sehr cooles Projekt - ganz nach meinem Geschmack. I'm curious about the outcome.

Roland Sachsenhofer
Das freut mich- very appreciated!

Robert Podkoński
Taking a seat here, of course! (I have built another incarnation of this kit...)

Roland Sachsenhofer
Robert, very pleased!

René "Lord Bilbo" Bartholemy
@Robert Podkoński : Me too! Much less details than this one though...
Taking a seat!

Roland Sachsenhofer
Hello Rene, the seat is happily yours, but the show is already over 🙂
I am proud to present you the completed 'Trevithick'! It was great fun taking photos of this gearwheel, linkage and flywheel work of wonder. Please excuse the resulting large number of pictures.
This time Alclad paints were used for the colour scheme, but not only from the metal range: what you see here is Alclad's 'Panzergrau' primer, together with 'Gunmetal' and 'Smoke' and similar shades. I have replaced the plastic parts for the push rods with metal bars. I hope you like the result as much as I enjoyed building it!

bughunter
Sehr geil 👍

Alex K
That was quick! Great result, great photos! 👍

gorby
Nice result Roland.
I was wondering how they added more coal to the boiler when the tender is so far away and the boiler door is under the pistons.

Ben M
Great subject, great build!

Robert Podkoński
You've turned this kit into the piece of art, Roland. Chapeau bas!

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you very much, mates! This is highly appreciated and motivating feedback! I'm glad to have ventured into an area new to me; the kit, for all its age, has charm and possibilities 🙂 Your words really make me very happy!

Oleg Bogolei
Very interesting. I`ll take a sit.
