Dazzio Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Hello Everyone, Well this is my second build for the Remembrance Day Lunch that the librarian, Karen, at work will be holding. This Tomahawk will be displayed next to a Spitfire, Bf-110 and Bf-109, possibly a Lancaster too. I decided to add this one as who doesn't love a Sharkmouth?! Plus I was trying to convey the notion that the world war was just that, worldwide... you know what kids are like. Anyhow, this the newer tool mould from Airfix of the classic Tomahawk (always liked this aircraft). I had a few issues with it, I think most of those issues where my own doing. Live and learn huh? I had to strip the paint as the xtracrylix didn't wanna play for some reason. I had to resort to Tamiya and mixing the middlestone colour. I am quite impressed with it. On to the pictures. Still learning how far I can stretch the EZ-Line, unlike the Spitfire, I dont think the weather is heavy enough. I had fun making this model and it went together really well, apart from a few silly bits. Once again, please let me know what you think. Kind Regards, Dazz 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuckb1 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Love a bit of P-40 hence my Avtar. Great build of the aircraft and the paint finish is gleaming. Well done sir 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzio Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 Knight_flyer, thank you. I like the desert scheme too, I got a Hurricane IIc in the same colours. Got to build a tank buster yet from the 3D-kits conversion. Beard, thank you very much. Chuckb1, thank you for the kind words. I do have a soft spot for this aircraft. I don't know why. My grandad was in Libya around the same time as these 112 machines where. I'd like to think they where providing top cover for him... I'll have to look it up. I'm really happy with the paint work. One of the few times it went right!! Kind Regards, Dazz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miggers Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Karen the Librarian?,sure it's not Conan? Nicely done Peef Dazz. Good to see you're helping to educate the kids. Learning them the significance of "Lest We Forget" is a very important thing I feel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learning them the significance of "Lest We Forget" is a very important thing I feel. She certainly has a temper on her sometimes. I'm sure she'll love the nickname when I tell her, Miggers. Thank you for the kind comments, I've since found out that one of our teachers just shows the kids Backadder for the WWI part... I give up sometimes... Very nice!! Is the azure blue from xtracrylix? Milo. Thank you Milo, the Azure Blue is actually from Vallejo 71.108 UK Azure Blue (click the linky to the paint) it sprays a bit thick, but I think that's just me being lazy. Another little cracker Dazz,nice one! Cheers muchly stevej60. Much appreciated Lovely scheme- clean build thanks for sharing Thank you flyingpiggy and you're welcome.

Dazzio Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 very nice - well done PM Thank you very much, Patrick. Very nice, clean build. I'm also a great fan of desert camouflages and shark mouthed aircraft this airfix kit is in my wish list for a future build. Cheers Jaime Thank you Jamie, the Sharkmouth on this one is a little hard to get correct (mines far from it) but it does look cool with it on. very nice - have that one in the stash and hope mine turns out as good as yours (okay, I know it won't, be hey, we hope all, don't we). Cheers, Michael Thank you Michael. I'm sure yours will be better as it will not have the same mistakes as mine and there was plenty to list. very nice indeed , you have made a lovely job on that one . small nic pick, those aerial wires look way over scale ( too thick ) try very fine fishing line and you will see the diffrence Thank you Keith. I agree about the aerial wires, it was my first attempt at using EZ-Line and drilling through the wings to feed the wire through. I'm still learning how to use it correctly and hadn't stretched it far enough. Live and learn huh? I usually use my dogs hair for wire, comes already coloured black too Kind Regards, Dazz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
