1/48 Aerocraft Models Miles M.52
This is a quite exquisite 3D printed kit from Aerocraft.
It goes together beautifully and builds up into a great little subject.
I can heartily recommend it to anyone who wants a nice, quick and different build.
It also comes in 1/32 and 1/72.
Primed with
AK Primer and Microfiller (Not impressed) then Mr. Hobby Basic White which reactivated the AK and caused some issues.
Then Tamiya Flat White.
Painted with
Colourcoats Night Bomber Black, FAA/RAF Yellow, Oxford Blue.
Tamiya Rubber Black,
AK Xtreme Metals Steel and Polished Aluminium.
Finished with Windsor & Newton Galeria Satin Varnish.
Thanks for looking,
Cheers,
Alistair
Very cool. A new aircraft to me
Thanks very much.
It only ever got as far as the drawing board but the wind tunnel data was passed to Bell who used it to get the x-1 through the sound barrier.
Cheers,
Alistair
That’s a new one on me too. I can see the X-1 genes it as you mention. I also remember the French building something similar. Well done, Alistair!
Thanks very much.
A new aircraft to me as well, Alistair @alistairfgauld
A very nice build.
Many Thanks.
Same for me... but it sure looks cool! Almost 1950's sci-fi-ish.
Love the yellow. Nice job, Alistar
Thanks so much.
What a wonderful build and an absolutely cool subject, Alistair!
Congratulations!
Thanks very much Spiros.
Well done, Alistair (@alistairfgauld). Very striking paint scheme on a really unusual test aircraft.
Thanks so much.
Very cool build of a very cool plane. Shame it was never built.
Many thanks.
Yep - never seen that one! Lovely build.
Thanks very much Greg.
What might have been.
Really nice work on this, Alistair, and a super result.
Thanks so much Tom,
Post War Austerity caused the cancellation but the Labour Government had other plans for the money.
Nice work, I like it.
Thanks very much
Something different, bright and greatly executed. Simply excellent,
regards Djordje
Many Thanks
