  1. Here's a fun one...and aren't they all fun? I'll build the one OOB since the kit is so crisply moulded in fine plastic. Other than rigging, I don't foresee any extras. The decals look firmly in register as well. Another yellow-winged devil for the Late-30s shelf. I'll start in on some of it tonight and go as far as I can tomorrow. I am off island for work from Monday until Thursday so both this and the helicopter will wait for me. --John
  2. The ancient-but-surprisingly-good-for-it's-age Hasegawa Curtiss Seagull SOC-3 in 1/72. This was supposed to be a quick knock up to be a painting test mule whilst waiting for my main build for the GB, a Tamiya 1/48 A6M2-N Rufe, to arrive from Japan. Unfortunately having 2 other builds on the go at the same time and being completely unable to do anything by half means it's barely started. If I'm going to do a decent job, I thought I may as well post it here anyway. The paint mule aspect was so that I could test salt chipping and/or hair spray weathering on an actual model in preparation for the Rufe, as well as experimenting with NMF type painting. Some fitting, sanding and a small amount of construction has taken place together with the whole thing being degreased by soaking it in Fairy for 3 days. The price sticker on the side of the box was 58p, so this kit may have been around a while! I'm not sure yet that the decals are going to be usable as they are quite yellow. r, it The internals were painted Vallejo Metal Color Aluminium with a brush, to see how well it brushed. It's a very thin paint and what you can see is 3 coats, however, it does brush OK. Unfortunately, this revealed some areas I'd missed that needed sanding. I'll probably put a layer of Tamiya X-1 gloss black over the top and then spray the Vallejo over that. This is where I have stalled. I intend this to be totally OOTB and keep stopping myself from planning any scratch building. I'd intended to do another build of this with the Starfighter resin interior but I think my eyes might be too old and hands too hamfisted to build 1/72 these days as I snapped both of the front struts off the main float while test fitting!
