  1. OK. So after my son's first build (and mine for many years) we took on the main event. A Hobby Boss 1:48 F4U-5 Corsair. Undeterred by the fact I had read somewhere the wings are historically inaccurate (too much canvas on the wings for this version?) we are going to crack on and make this OOB. Our main aims are: 1) Have a good time 2) Do a better job than last time 3) Experiment with exhaust and gun smoke, and try a little 'preshade' on the panel lines. 4) Not fall out about whether the undercarriage will be down or up (easier to display down, young boys want planes to FLY ) Yesterday we made a little start, painting some components on the sprue, the first two stages in the instructions are the cockpit and and engine assemblies. What I found interesting in this set compared to the Revell 1:72 is the detail in the painting (and the cockpit) seems a lot less. I'm glad we did the 1:72 as I took some of the detail / colours in the cockpit from that one. First win - thinned the paints a lot better this time. 4 coats and no detail lost, and just looking a lot better. First near win / miss. I was feeling really chuffed to find the thread in the tips about how to do perfect straight tyre lines by dripping a bit of thinner followed by the paint. Nice job. Reread the instructions and realised I should have painted the wheel first. Ah well at least I know the tip works 🤣 Next steps... Apply a decal to the forward instrument panel (the part had a spot of gloss varnish applied today). Decide if we're brave enough to maybe apply a little painted detail to the two consoles either side of the pilot and think about the cockpit assembly. First decision to be made... In the painting guide for this one if the undercarriage is down the 'struts' ((?) you know the bit the wheels connect to) are navy / sea blue. All the pictures I've seen they are white. Obvs hypothetical at this point as it won't matter if the undercarriage is up Thanks for reading this essay.
  2. Happy new year to you all! Here is my finished tomahawk. Oob build, only added the decals on the props and made the seat straps from tape. Painted the underside with Mr hobby azure blue and the top side in Xtracrylic dark earth and vallejo mid stone, all the rest in tamiya. I wasn't going for accuracy on this one hence the red nose. Fun build no problems, its a good little starter kit. Thanks for looking. Dave.
  3. Now, that's some greyhound! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hasegawa-1-48-Macchi-C-205-Veltro-w-True-Details-cockpit-upgrade-/301096068406?pt=Model_Kit_US&hash=item461ab96536 How does she fit in the box?... nice details... ahem... cough, cough.
