So here is another Big Bird who will need a lot of care and filling material.
But it is ages ago that i built a RAF kit.

Erik Leijdens
O nice! Strange aircraft. What kit is this? Does not look easy..
23 September 2019, 21:18
Erik Leijdens
Ah, Valom 🙂

Daniel Klink
Hi Erik, yes it is the Valom first Release, as often the surfce details are very well done, but the fit generally and especially the wing section will be a challenge. Welcome Mate 👍

Daniel Klink
That engine will never fit iwithout intense thinning and even than it will be too big in diameter. Damn it is reallywell done in detail by Valom but too big.
Apropos Big.. The Bombay was a Big Bird too

Cool and unusual aircraft, I love it! I have a few Valom kits in my stash, so interested how this goes together.

Łukasz Gliński
That is odd and unique, I'm in 🙂

Daniel Klink
Hey Guys and welcome... Much filler and evergreen sheet needed 🙂
25 September 2019, 13:38
Daniel Klink
A real dusty and dirty job 🙂
25 September 2019, 19:37
Łukasz Gliński
Looks bit like a far predecessor of my Superfreighter😉
26 September 2019, 20:46
Daniel Klink
Hi Lukasz, yap because it was kind of 🙂
27 September 2019, 09:19
Łukasz Gliński
Ha! Your are right actually 😄
Wiki: The Bristol Freighter's wing was based on that of the Type 130.

Interesting subject. Looking good.

Stephan Ryll
Very nice camo Daniel 🙂

Daniel Klink
Thank you STephan 👍 But somehow the preshading this time is nearly gone invisible
1 October 2019, 15:26
Marcel Klemmer
Hi Daniel, I am confused, a british and not as usual a japan aircraft🙂 Nice build so far.
1 October 2019, 19:26
Olivier
A new challenge ? Let's see how it turns out ?
1 October 2019, 20:56
Daniel Klink
Hi Marcel and Olivier.. Before all my allied colors sets run dry i thought it is better to use them 🙂
ANd yes Olivier this kit really is a challenge for me
1 October 2019, 21:03
Andy Ball
Wow, subject even more left-field than a sinister ultra-socialist 🙂
..loving your subject!
1 October 2019, 21:51
Daniel Klink
Hi Andy, welcome and Great that you like my choice ????
2 October 2019, 17:32
David Januska
Wow Daniel, another treasure from your bottomless stash😉. Looking great

Treehugger
Danie, did you aribrush on the RAF roundels? Or are they decals?
11 October 2019, 11:50
Daniel Klink
Hi and welcome David and thank you mate👍
11 October 2019, 14:01
Daniel Klink
Hi and welcome Treehugger, these are the kits decals
11 October 2019, 14:02
Stephan Ryll
That's looking very good Daniel 👍
11 October 2019, 14:33
Erik Leijdens
Very nice progress 👍
11 October 2019, 18:36
Daniel Klink
Thank You Stephan and Erik, much appreciated 👍
Now it stands on its own wheels🙂
14 October 2019, 14:13
ForestFan
Looks great!
14 October 2019, 18:34
Daniel Klink
Thank you Forest Fan..just few further bits and it is complete..after struggling and a intense fight i finally it nearly looks presentable.
Some weathering will be added too of course
14 October 2019, 19:25
Daniel Klink
Hi, so we are close to the finish line with this project.. Not a fun built at all but at least a rare seen and unique Flying machine. Washing is done
18 October 2019, 21:46
Jim J
Looking good Daniel. 👍. It's nice to see the final stages bring it to life...
18 October 2019, 22:32
Daniel Klink
Thank You Jim 🙂 much appreciated!
Yes the look developes into woekhorse????
19 October 2019, 09:25
Tom
Bombay is Bombe!
19 October 2019, 10:35
Martin
Excellent build. I like the Valom kits with there unusual aircraft.
19 October 2019, 12:14
Roberto Rocat
Wow! Not a common subject, isn't it? Good work, I like it 👍
20 October 2019, 17:54
Andy Ball
Love it! An awkward looking pre-war design, beautiful build!
20 October 2019, 18:43
Daniel Klink
Thank you very much Thomas, Martin, Roberto and Andy for your nice comments much appreciated 👍
20 October 2019, 20:21
Erik Leijdens
Great result Daniel. Strange bird!
20 October 2019, 20:46
Daniel Klink
Yap indeed, but there were many of them in the pre war era. next on my list is the Heyford kit by Matchbox. 🙂
Thank you mate for you encouraging words 👍
20 October 2019, 21:39
Łukasz Gliński
Your Bombay looks great, though I don't agree with your way of separating colours on the topsides. I like these strange British planes, Heyford is even more odd than this one 🙂
20 October 2019, 21:43
Daniel Klink
Hi lukasz, thanks mate! Glad you like it
Do you mean the segments?
20 October 2019, 22:34
Łukasz Gliński
I mean the blurry DG-DE separation.
21 October 2019, 07:54
Daniel Klink
Ah you mean the transistions were not that smooth and soft but rather sharp and the colors stronger
21 October 2019, 08:16
Łukasz Gliński
That's my point exactly 🙂 Colours are ok, I meant only borders.
21 October 2019, 08:58
Daniel Klink
I guess you are right Lukasz... wrong Interpretation by me Thanky for the hint.
Will consider it for my next RAF project
21 October 2019, 09:10
Andy Ball
I've seen pictures whereby the demarcations between Dk.Earth and Dk.Green appear 'blurry'. I assumed that sometimes on re-touches the paint shop may not have applied a masking, unlike when they left the factory?
21 October 2019, 10:09
Daniel Klink
Hi Andy, thank you! That is the thing . this rotten workhorse has been sprayed over without masking 🙂
So i declare this as completed.
First thought of mask and carefully do the colorwork again, but masking of the canopy etc. again??
No .. I just have to do better research next time...
Thank you all for watching and your interest..
Now i have ay Bombay in my shelf 👍
21 October 2019, 17:36
Guy Rump
Excellent job again Daniel, one day I'll get round to building the one in my stash.....🙂
21 October 2019, 17:48
Daniel Klink
Thank you Guy, just do it..but follow the instructions only in emergency 🙂
Some more Pics will follow btw
21 October 2019, 18:01
Olivier
Daniel you could try to do something to the paint with a brush like in the old days. No need for masking then...
21 October 2019, 18:10
Oleg Smilyk
Fantastic work,Daniel!
21 October 2019, 18:19
Daniel Klink
Hi Oly, yes that wouls be an option but i leave it that like it is. 🙂
Thank you Oleg much appreciated.. I really like your modern J-birds 👍
21 October 2019, 20:05
Murad ÖZER

21 October 2019, 20:15

Neuling
Take good care of this beautiful build, Daniel! We don´t need another crash.
22 October 2019, 13:53
Daniel Klink
@Spanjaard, Alec and Neuling..many thanks Mates!... Those warm words are much encouraging me for more flying oddities 🙂
@Neuling yes place in the cabinet is booked for it 👍
22 October 2019, 17:32
Andy Ball
Super new photos, like the thin loop aerial detail, enhances the scale-look!
22 October 2019, 17:43
Roberto Rocat
Very nice indeed!
26 October 2019, 10:05

25 August 2020, 17:40
Olivier
Bomb bays I have see a lot. But not a Bombay. (Sorry just trying to be funny)
25 August 2020, 20:39
Łukasz Gliński
Thought the same, Olivier 👍
25 August 2020, 20:59
Mirko Römer
Veeeery nice bird!
25 August 2020, 20:59
Daniel Klink
Thank you Thomas, Yes you will nort see them built that often. Glad you like it..
@Olivier hehe, great pun Olivier..🙂
@Mirko thank you !
4 September 2020, 20:13
Daniel Klink
Hm, maybe those exhaust stripes are a bit too dark... I know it is late but were those rather kind of blueish light grey with RAF Aircrafts?
17 August 2021, 17:24
David Taylor
Nice job Daniel.
17 August 2021, 17:39
Daniel Klink
Thank you David much appreciated 👍
