1st 2018 finish! 1/72 Baynes Bat

[BorgR3mc0]

This is the Jach kit of the Baynes Bat, a scaled proof of concept glider. The full sized glider would have carried tanks but was never build.
The kit is quite easy. Most of the problems I encountered where of my own doing. Only nitpick are the decals, they silver easily and do not react on any setting agent I have.

I edited the pictures with Snapseed. The middle two are for comparison.

Great finish on a most rare subject! That sure is a small build, isn’t it?

It is indeed tiny! It almost fits on a credit card, wingspan is just a tad to long.

Nice work! That turned out exquisite!

If a tank can go in the belly of that glider, the belly must have had the diameter of a C-7 Galaxy. Or even if could only carry light tanks, the diameter of the cargo bay could be the size of a C-150 Hercules. Huge glider!

Tanks where a lot smaller in WWII. The Germans used the Me-321 to transport their Pz.II and the British used the Hamilcar for the light Tetrarch tank. So the idea was not unheard of at the time. But yes, the final product would have been much larger.

Well done, Borg! Well done.

Great job, that is a cool little kit, I built one some time ago and enjoyed it. It ends up being very colorful too!
