An old Flying Dutchman - KLM DC-4 in 1/144
59North replied to Skodadriver's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Well done, indeed! A very attractive scheme on a well built model. Is there a work in progress? I,m curious as to what you used to make that attractive Tarmac base. Please explain. -
The Monogram Typhoon was my first model built as an adult, 38 years ago. I still maintain the kit is an excellent base to make a very presentable model, as you have proven here. We'll done, indeed!

Wow! Thanks for sharing this lovely model. We'll done, indeed.

I should learn how to read. I've got the wrong Typhoon. Sorry
-
The Hawker Typhoon 2 volume monograph #94-95 (AJ Press) by Leszek Moczulski is very useful.

Well, this one just never moved, and now it's a DNF. Still sitting there, waiting on the shelf. After the Christmas holiday my fire for it just never came back. I won't give up, though. Sooner or later, and I'll post her elsewhere at that time.

All around, beautiful.

1/32 De Havilland Mosquito Mk. VI
59North replied to StyrenePilot1970's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
Sensational; a grand build of a beautiful aircraft. -
Excellent photo's you have there. Such a build will prove very worthwhile to look into, an I do hope you find quality time to move forward with it. I know that's not always possible with a young family.

Great start! I'm very interested in looking in on this build as you progress. I just got the Airfix Vb for Christmas, and a great deal of it's parts are common to this kit. Already, I'll being looking for the Vallejo metal the next time I travel to the city. Looks good so far!
-
Thanks. They are really very good. I was thinking they were those painted figures you can get for the train hobby. Goes to show how much I know about figures.
-
Perhaps you can excuse my lack of figure knowledge, as I'm very unfamiliar with this genre. Did you paint these? and what manufacturer and scale? Thanks
-
As is already said, outstanding weathering job. Looks to be a museum quality build.
-
Brilliant paint work. An extremely attractive F-5.

1/72 Trumpeter Sea Fury
59North replied to Alan Sannazzaro's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
To me, the Sea fury carried such a simple color scheme, yet it wears it like a tuxedo. Simply beautiful and effective. You have done a wonderful job on this model and have well earned the atta-boys. -
1/72 Havoc from WWII "Grace Airplanes" kit
59North replied to AdrianMF's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
So extremely interesting and educational... The old paints; wooden models; I never knew about this. Thanks to your dad for preserving these, and thanks to your efforts in restoration and presentation. -
1/72 Stukas - Zvezda "Snap Fit" B2 and Airfix B1
59North replied to John's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
I've thought about this kit, it's very nice. My 2nd thought that comes to mind after first envisioning a partly completed kit is the thought of canopy masking. That often creates a shelf queen for me right there. I'll follow your progress and cheer you on. -

Airfix New Tool 1/72 Beaufighter TF.X
59North replied to mike romeo's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
You just finished yours over Christmas, and I just received mine for Christmas. I certainly hope I'm able to do as fine a job as you did. Mine will also be a 404sqn build, probably 2-G. Congratulations, well done.- 18 replies

The Catalina is really very nice, indeed. I do like the scheme. it's very pleasing.

Beautiful. A far better looking scheme than the modern white whale schemes so common today. Well done!
