An Unusual Build - Westland Wyvern S.4 Part 1
Several moons ago a certain member (@46444) suggested I should check out Trumpeter's Westland Wyvern..
I did and little does he know, what a can of rivets it opened....
I acquired the kit on a certain auction sight, it arrived just before I finished the Sea Fury. I also ordered the Eduard Photo-Etch set for it...
The kit is amazing and the instructions are sometimes baffling. However for someone who built Leaping Heaps for a living - not a problem.
Due to the gearbox, the prop must be painted prior to assembly - the props rotate in opposite direction once assembled.
With the props painted, the fuselage was closed up (F.Y.I the Reccy Camera is 8 parts)
Center section of the wings were a dream to assemble and fitted beautifully to the fuselage (little or no filling will be required)
I have numerous locos on the go at the moment, so progress will be slow.
That's all for now TBG
