1/72 Huma Flettner FI 282 Kolibri Helicopter
Dermo245 replied to Dermo245's topic in Lesser Known Manufacturers Classic GB
So here we go! Lots of clean-up needed on basically every part.😐 Huma_FI_282_WIP_1 Engine and gearbox built and painted. Huma_FI_282_WIP_2 Any build I've seen shows a poor fuselage fit with gaps and was the same for me - lots of clamps on a little model! Huma_FI_282_WIP_3 Thanks and more soon. Cheers, Dermot -
Tim's White Arrow in 1/72

Looking forward to this one. Is this kit easy to find or fairly rare now? -
Lovely looking kit, should be very popular. On the Irish scheme, it’s called a Celtic boss, not an orange/green yin-yang meatball roundel . Thanks, Der

Hi all and here's a latest from me, an F-104G backdated to a NF-104A Starfighter which was used as a trainer for the X-15 and planned Boeing X-20. Built for the F-104 group build here, here's a link to the short build thread here. Kit: Hasegawa 1/72 F-104G Starfighter 'Vikings'. The kit has the larger rudder as well as parts for the smooth gear doors and earlier ejection seat. Build: Mostly OOB but with mods for NF-104 Mods: Wingtips extended with plasticard, intake cones extended with plastic rod (should be pointier! ) Rocket motor scratchbuilt from kit wingtip tank. Extended nose probe from sewing needle Paints: Tamiya, Mr Hobby Super Metallics. Klear Decals: Caracal 72155 'Test and Drone Zippers'. These were really excellent and went on a treat. Scheme: Markings for 56-0762 flown by Chuck Yeager on December 10, 1963 to a height of 101, 600ft before loss of control led to his ejection and total loss of the aircraft (as dramatized in 'The Right Stuff') Special thanks to @Planebuilder62 and @murfv for sharing copies of scale plans and build articles which were a great help. If anyone is interested, this month's Airfix Model World magazine has a lovely build by Chirs Jones in 1/48 and an article on the history of this plane. Thanks for looking, take care and happy modelling.

Like @zebra, I also built a NF-104A but mine was Hasegawa's G-model backdated in 1/72 . Short build thread is here but to recap: Kit: Hasegawa 1/72 F-104G Starfighter 'Vikings' Build: Mostly OOB but with mods for NF-104 Mods: Wingtips extended with plasticard, intake cones extended with plastic rod (should be pointier!) Rocket motor scratchbuilt from kit-supplied wingtip tank. Extended nose probe from sewing needle Paints: Tamiya, Mr Hobby Super Metallics. Klear Decals: Caracal 72155 'Test and Drone Zippers'. Markings for 56-0762 flown by Chuck Yeager on December 10, 1963 to a height of 101, 600ft before loss of control led to his ejection and total loss of the aircraft. Thanks to @Marklo and @reinifor leading this one and special thanks to @Planebuilder62 and @murfv for their copies of plans/drawings which were a great help. If anyone is interested, this month's Airfix Model World magazine has a lovely build by Chirs Jones in 1/48 and an article on the history of this plane.

Hi all and I'm jumping in with this tiny chopper in 1/72. Kit supplied by all-round good guy of the hobby, Radu Brinzan. Huma_FI_282_Cover Just the one sprue.. Huma_FI_282_contents A little flashy in places but looks good! Huma_FI_282_close_up One-page instruction sheet with decals. Huma_FI_282_instructions Hopefully won't take too long and thanks for looking. Cheers, Dermot

DONE; Reach for the Stars - 1/72 Hasegawa F-104G as NF-104A
Dermo245 replied to Dermo245's topic in F-104 Starfighter STGB
So last bits with this one. Masked up and painted nose panel Hasegawa_NF-104_build_13 Then the decals by Caracal which were absolutely excellent Hasegawa_NF-104_build_14 Hasegawa_NF-104_build_15 Finished the seat with some tape and wire details. Hasegawa_NF-104_build_16 Added the gear, doors and wheels. Hasegawa_NF-104_build_17 And with the canopy added and a nose pitot from a sewing needle, she's done. Hasegawa_NF-104_build_19 Will post some more pics in the Gallery, thanks to @Marklo and @reini for hosting and to @Planebuilder62 for the scale drawings and advice. Cheers, Dermot -
