Looks a great subject but evident challenges; I wouldn't attempt the rigging but good luck! I enjoyed the archive pics. Your unboxings are in a class of their own and a real pleasure to view. Genuinely looking forward to seeing how you get on and your conclusions on this brand of kit🙂

Thanks David, I appreciate that. Yes I always like to include a bit of history of the subject where I can (and it always helps me make a better model too of course).

with the actual aircraft, Vickers Vincent is slightly bigger than the Swordfish (only a foot longer in the body).

Never heard of this plane, it looks a fun kit to build though. Looking forward to the colour scheme

Thanks. There is so little information about the LT4 scheme online, it's crazy. Still, at least that means fewer "the colours are wrong" comments :)

Very interesting kit, lots of detail I'd say definitely meant for an experienced level modeler like yourself, would love to see the finished model. I was focusing on the kit and excellent historical background you shared, so I might have missed it - but this seems to be a very close relative of the Fairey Swordfish, almost a twin brother. The Swordfish is on my list to acquire and build, it seems I now have to add a relative. Obviously unlike the Swordfish the Vickers wings did not fold . The rigging on this scale kit would require determined dexterity , I like all the variants of biplanes built, but have not built as many as I would like because of my weakness on rigging. Another excellent kit review , thanks for sharing.

Thanks. "Determined dexterity"...I like that phrase! At the moment I'm really looking into these interwar and early war aircraft (and tanks to a certain extent). There are so many examples, although few of them have been produced as kits and I expect few of them even have surviving examples that could be used to develop a kit or 3D model.

Looks like a handful to build! I knew we used them here in NZ, but checking on Wikipedia it looks like there are 2 rebuilds nearing completion here! I'd better steer clear in case I get the bug to build one!

Hey MN, I haven't seen a Bi-plane in a dog's age! I wanna see this build and paint. You seem enthused about painting it. I already have display ideas. Thanks, this will be very interesting.
