...shipped a nice-looking FSC file into my weps shop with an order for a working BGL. The new torpedo is very nice looking, but he's got it hanging under a very, very strange looking aircraft. I've never seen the like of it.
 
Ya! "Vickers Vildebeest MkIV
A torpedo bomber in service with the Royal Air Force from
1932 until 1942, during which time they operated in the UK,
Ceylon and the Far East, suffering heavily during the Japanese
invasion of Malaya and Singapore." [David Eckert]

Ahhhhh Shucks,...

...and I was thinking it was just a 'Stringbag on steroids'. :bump:

I don't know this for a fact, but I suspect we might be seeing more of whatever it is. She's being kept in a hangar across the way by this guy who placed the order for the new torpedo BGL. He has mischievous eyes, a shiny pate and paid in cash. :kilroy:
 
Hey, which...

...one of you guys took my 2009 Charter Member medallion? OK, you've had your fun; now put it back. :icon34:

Stringbag maybe, but definitely not on steroids....


Read Bloody Shambles: "The gallant 72", and later on Java, where 8 Vildebeests (& one Albacore) attacked the IJN invasion fleet. Sad story.

So 72 did a Torpedo 8, did they? :kilroy:
 
Early this morning...

...I caught 'em rolling the beastie out on the tarmac. Snapped another shot before my camera was confiscated by security. :engel016:

Sacre' Bleu, Blackhawk, she es very beeg! :isadizzy:

Relax, Pierre! Andre', please pass Pierre the wine. :icon29:
 
Think they scored a success against pirates in the South China Sea during the 30's when aboard HMS Eagle......?

...I just produced the wep BGL for the nicely formed new torpedo. That and the plane are the work of 'he with the shiny pate'. I'm just his barker. :kilroy:
 
I see...

...he's the armament officer running his check list:

- Cutlass in cockpit for brandishing...check.
- Bag of rocks for throwing...check.
- List of creative profanity to shout...check.
- Individual bags of shight, also for throwing...check (hmmm, just call him a Shight Hawk?)

Yep, she's ready for launch! :wavey:
 
Vildebeest

or as I call her the V'beest

this is the best I can do at the moment - on the ramp in undercoat waiting for a real paint job

still lots to do ( including multi-res )

thanks to T_R for the bgl job

baldy
 
Verrry nice Baldy, thanks a lot!! I've been looking around for Ceylon/Indonesia Vildebeest schemes plus North African ones for the Vincent.. There's hardly any real difference between the two.. Are you planning to do a Spanish Vildebeest also?
