WYVERN S.4 "PICTURE PERFECT""UPDATE"

In my relentless march to the "BOMBER COMMAND" GB my next aircraft project is the Royal Navy's Wyvern S.4 of the late 50's in 1/72 scale. The kit is by Trumpeter and is a much better kit then the Smer Breguet 693 I just finished. So here we go construction starts with the cockpit. Not bad for this scale. I don't know yet if I will have the cockpit open or not. Here are some pictures to get things started.

Re: WYVERN S.4 "DRAGON HAS WINGS""UPDATE"

aaaaaaaaah that's a wyvern! no i see! that strange double prop setup i remember to have seen several times!

i never knew that that strange double prop setup plane thingy was called wyvern ...

... oh whatever ...

that's really cool looking terry but the prop section needs some touch ups (don't know what that red/white part is called! spinner?) and the prop yellow ends need some touchup too, black shining through!

Wacky plane!!! Yeah I saw the touch ups! It takes a picture sometimes to help me see those things.

Thanks Laura! I'm always striving to make a better plane.

MrT
Laura's already admonished you for your choice of subject, so I'll let that go.:evil:
Nonetheless, I must say I really enjoy witnessing your attention to detail and masterful execution of your projects.(y)
I can't wait to see the airfreshener hanging from the canopy and snapshot of the pilot's wife and kids on the console. :gogo
Peace and Love,
Randy

You see now you've done it! I was just going to build OOB, but NOOOO :pinch: you had to go and give me ideas :hmmm

Thanks Randy!

Re: WYVERN S.4 "DRAGON HAS WINGS""UPDATE"

Dear Terry.

...nice interior job...a beautiful plane...following this thread with attention!

Best!

Luiz.
 
Re: WYVERN S.4 "DRAGON HAS WINGS""UPDATE"

Thanks Luiz!!! I'm about ready to paint, but I had to add something for DioRandy. :laugh:

Terry ;)
 
DioRandy wanted to see if I would put an airfreshener or a picture in the cockpit. Well no airfreshener, but a picture yes. So Randy here you go.

Terry ;)

:) Hi Terry,
The little dragon is starting to look good. It has always fascinated me but being as I try to stay inn WW II I've never had to find the courage to build one.
Congrats on the picture. That's a nice touch but a little green tree would be over the top !
Keep up the good work ! Christian (y)
 
Thanks Christian!! Yeah no little green trees. It might block the pilots field of vision. :lol:
