stevej60 Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share Posted September 2, 2016 Both of those two are looking superb Steve. Excellent progress. Arriving late to this one Steve. What a great project, I can't choose a favorite. Many thanks Stix and Cookie,enjoying doing a half hour here and there on these smaller kit's and the variation in schemes breaks up the chances of getting bored! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBaron Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I've started thinking of this as the pick n' mix thread - you never know which aircraft will be updated next Most enjoyable and great work Steve. Tony 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted September 4, 2016 Author Share Posted September 4, 2016 Hi folks,we've had a loss in the form of the second Typhoon,I,m just not happy with the painting over the stripes for the codes so for now I've boxed up the kit and may re-paint it.Anyway better news as the Mustang PR is ready for the white areas of the striping and the Vb has it's Azure blue and top colours added,it's not a bad little kit in shape I need to replace the canopy and prop which are useless and find some U/C doors as the kit has none! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted September 5, 2016 Author Share Posted September 5, 2016 Morning folks,not a great deal of time over the weekend for projects but got the Vb glossed,washed and decalled. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 Morning all,a sparse week for modelling time this one but I had been putting off work on the Swordfish as the top wing was not looking as good as previous builds but with a bit of cursing and tape she is fixed,I need a little tidying up of the paintwork around the stripes on the leading edge the a bit of weathering is in order. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beard Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 The Swordfish looks beautiful, if that's possible, not to say that the others aren't nice too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share Posted September 19, 2016 Morning folk's,well as summer draws to a close this build looks like it will over run a little all are now at the Matt coat stage after that it is just a matter of adding the canopies,etc.Anyway a quick update on the Mustang which needs a re-touch on the cockpit interior as the decals are now on. Â And the remaining Typhoon is almost there. Â Â 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dadgaddad Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Lovely stuff! I recently got hold of this decal sheet for an Airfix IX and I can see myself building them all as well. I do love D-Day stripes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spadgent Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Holy moley, how did I miss this thread? I've just used up all my likes on it. Steve all these planes look amazing, Idont know how you can juggle so many. Beautiful, beautiful work. I'm just glad I made it before they're all totally finished.  I'll pull up the cushion in the corner, the one the dog sits on.  John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdrianMF Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Very nice set of builds! Is the Mustang the Academy kit? It looks good in PR blue.  Regards, Adrian   1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a disease Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 (edited) Wow, the pinnacle of modelling management! Having several builds on the go seems normal to me, but, you're actually getting along with them all at a good pace! Well done! To say I'm inspired is almost correct? Flabbergasted may be better!  Edited September 22, 2016 by It's a disease 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianMF Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 The Mustang does look good! I've biult a couple of HobbyBoss kits - the Mig 3 (excellent) and the Yak-3 (so-so). I think they seem to be very variable, a bit like Academy. It's a great fleet you are building - I like the invasion stripes theme.

PlaStix Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Looks like impressive progress on all your projects Steve! I do like aircraft in their invasion stripes! Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
