    A lovely modification of the Airfix kit, my one point would be that if you’re going to have it with the prop spinning you really need to put a pilot figure into the aircraft.

    I motorised my 1/72 Airfix Lancaster back in the late 1970s,the Ripmax Motors were so good it almost rotated and flew

    Love working models and my inner thoughts were 'I wonder if he will use a current limiting resistor?' ....and voila.

    Wonderful job building and painting the Tempest. Motorizing it is on a higher level. Too bad no pilot figure....looks weird running without one. Happy hobbying.

      Thanks Dirk....
      To be fair its a really nice kit and being the same colour overall it is quite a quick build.

    Nice job! That's about as close to HO scale (1:87) aircraft modeling as it gets. Thanks for sharing.

    Great stuff, thank you. Just a thought though; could you run the wires through the tailwheel housing instead to be a bit less visible?

    • @307vrr
      @307vrr  Рік тому

      Thanks very much 👍
      Yes...I do that sometimes.
      I did it on my recent Hampen build and probably do it more often because the wires can be threaded up the fuselage if not needed. 👍

    A great video. Any suggestions on motorising s couple of kits I have on my pile of things to build. Both 1/72 scale. A He111Z and an Me 323 Gigant

      Ooooh a 5 engined He-111Z with a Gigant glider ??? or is it the powered version ?
      Well I haven't done either of them...I have done multi engined models before...
      The build video of my Do-24 is closest to help you out with its 3 motors...
      Search the internet or ebay for micro motors...4mm or 6mm I use in my models.
      View a few of my videos to get a feel of how to fit them etc...thay are mostly the same process.

    All you need to do now is an RC conversion of a model warship......if you like ships

      I'm not into ships...I have built a few model ships in the past for other people though
