Daniel KlinkSo here is another Big Bird who will need a lot of care and filling material.
But it is ages ago that i built a RAF kit.
23 September 2019, 20:34
Erik LeijdensO nice! Strange aircraft. What kit is this? Does not look easy..
23 September 2019, 21:18
Daniel KlinkHi Erik, yes it is the Valom first Release, as often the surfce details are very well done, but the fit generally and especially the wing section will be a challenge. Welcome Mate 👍
24 September 2019, 08:26
Daniel KlinkThat engine will never fit iwithout intense thinning and even than it will be too big in diameter. Damn it is reallywell done in detail by Valom but too big.
Apropos Big.. The Bombay was a Big Bird too

Alec KCool and unusual aircraft, I love it! I have a few Valom kits in my stash, so interested how this goes together.

Daniel KlinkHey Guys and welcome... Much filler and evergreen sheet needed 🙂
25 September 2019, 13:38
Łukasz GlińskiHa! Your are right actually 😄
Wiki: The Bristol Freighter's wing was based on that of the Type 130.

Daniel KlinkThank you STephan 👍 But somehow the preshading this time is nearly gone invisible

Marcel KlemmerHi Daniel, I am confused, a british and not as usual a japan aircraft🙂 Nice build so far.

Daniel KlinkHi Marcel and Olivier.. Before all my allied colors sets run dry i thought it is better to use them 🙂
ANd yes Olivier this kit really is a challenge for me

Andy BallWow, subject even more left-field than a sinister ultra-socialist 🙂
..loving your subject!

David JanuskaWow Daniel, another treasure from your bottomless stash😉. Looking great
11 October 2019, 11:22
Daniel KlinkThank You Stephan and Erik, much appreciated 👍
Now it stands on its own wheels🙂
14 October 2019, 14:13
Daniel KlinkThank you Forest Fan..just few further bits and it is complete..after struggling and a intense fight i finally it nearly looks presentable.
Some weathering will be added too of course

Daniel KlinkHi, so we are close to the finish line with this project.. Not a fun built at all but at least a rare seen and unique Flying machine. Washing is done

Jim JLooking good Daniel. 👍. It's nice to see the final stages bring it to life...
18 October 2019, 22:32
Daniel KlinkThank You Jim 🙂 much appreciated!
Yes the look developes into woekhorse????
19 October 2019, 09:25
Daniel KlinkThank you very much Thomas, Martin, Roberto and Andy for your nice comments much appreciated 👍
20 October 2019, 20:21
Daniel KlinkYap indeed, but there were many of them in the pre war era. next on my list is the Heyford kit by Matchbox. 🙂
Thank you mate for you encouraging words 👍
20 October 2019, 21:39
Łukasz GlińskiYour Bombay looks great, though I don't agree with your way of separating colours on the topsides. I like these strange British planes, Heyford is even more odd than this one 🙂
20 October 2019, 21:43
Daniel KlinkHi lukasz, thanks mate! Glad you like it
Do you mean the segments?
20 October 2019, 22:34
Daniel KlinkAh you mean the transistions were not that smooth and soft but rather sharp and the colors stronger
21 October 2019, 08:16
Daniel KlinkI guess you are right Lukasz... wrong Interpretation by me Thanky for the hint.
Will consider it for my next RAF project
21 October 2019, 09:10
Andy BallI've seen pictures whereby the demarcations between Dk.Earth and Dk.Green appear 'blurry'. I assumed that sometimes on re-touches the paint shop may not have applied a masking, unlike when they left the factory?
21 October 2019, 10:09
Daniel KlinkHi Andy, thank you! That is the thing . this rotten workhorse has been sprayed over without masking 🙂
So i declare this as completed.
First thought of mask and carefully do the colorwork again, but masking of the canopy etc. again??
No .. I just have to do better research next time...
Thank you all for watching and your interest..
Now i have ay Bombay in my shelf 👍

Guy RumpExcellent job again Daniel, one day I'll get round to building the one in my stash.....🙂
21 October 2019, 17:48
Daniel KlinkThank you Guy, just do it..but follow the instructions only in emergency 🙂
Some more Pics will follow btw
21 October 2019, 18:01
OlivierDaniel you could try to do something to the paint with a brush like in the old days. No need for masking then...
21 October 2019, 18:10
Daniel KlinkHi Oly, yes that wouls be an option but i leave it that like it is. 🙂
Thank you Oleg much appreciated.. I really like your modern J-birds 👍
21 October 2019, 20:05
Daniel KlinkBtw the Sparrow by Valom seems to become another fun built 🙂

But hey they make it possible to do these really special designs in 72 👍

NeulingTake good care of this beautiful build, Daniel! We don´t need another crash.
22 October 2019, 13:53
Daniel Klink@Spanjaard, Alec and Neuling..many thanks Mates!... Those warm words are much encouraging me for more flying oddities 🙂
@Neuling yes place in the cabinet is booked for it 👍
22 October 2019, 17:32
Andy BallSuper new photos, like the thin loop aerial detail, enhances the scale-look!
22 October 2019, 17:43
OlivierBomb bays I have see a lot. But not a Bombay. (Sorry just trying to be funny)
25 August 2020, 20:39
Daniel KlinkThank you Thomas, Yes you will nort see them built that often. Glad you like it..
@Olivier hehe, great pun Olivier..🙂
@Mirko thank you !
4 September 2020, 20:13
Daniel KlinkHm, maybe those exhaust stripes are a bit too dark... I know it is late but were those rather kind of blueish light grey with RAF Aircrafts?

Album info
I will do the machine that crashed during support and evacuation operations in France May 1940.
