perdu Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 My son, who has an office overlooking EMA was on the phone to mum and me this morning During her stint he dropped into the conversation "I bet dad wishes he was here now, a Typhoon has just taken off. Noisy even in here" He's right! And she heard it too! I'm in with you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not optimistic on that, on all the ones I did before I never found the canopy fitted well, just have to see, anyway its now underway on a related note, just won a pair of hasegawa stands from their eurofighter kit so be nice to mount this on it once done and finally on negative front, yet another set of storm shadows, taurus, meteor and iris t's to add to the spares box.....got so many Edited September 23, 2016 by PhantomBigStu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S5 modeller Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Looking forward to this. I have it's bigger brother, the 1/48 twin seater in my stash, so will be following with interest. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted September 24, 2016 Author Share Posted September 24, 2016 Well like everyone I've built the fit is awful, this time avoided the mistake that cost my last one and put the seat in before the cockpit tub was added to the fuselage, speaking of which thought it had all gone wrong, the forward side of the stbd part was well warped, fortunately gluing together fixed that. Also added the bits I always left off on previous builds, the little vents by the tail (which I didn't realise were vents prior), and the 4 little lumps on the wingtip pods, had fun with those, the carpet monster claimed all 4, but I eventually found them all. Anyway not the best kit, seen the sprues for the new tool, will be ordering one on release to see if its a much better build. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted September 26, 2016 Author Share Posted September 26, 2016 Some gaps filled, can't paint yet though, needs to dry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted October 2, 2016 Author Share Posted October 2, 2016 Not worked on this much, but have put some paint on, two coats of grey and one of dark earth also will continue to post the build of a BoB spifire here instead of the spitfire STGB thread, makes more sense or rather I will if photobucket will actually load.....

PhantomBigStu Posted October 2, 2016 Author Share Posted October 2, 2016 gone for something slightly different for this spit, a sky blue underside entirely possible for the subject I have chosen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted October 2, 2016 Author Share Posted October 2, 2016 (edited) More paint on, looks like the dark greens got end of the pot syndrome so time to open a new one and mix the remains in I think Edited October 2, 2016 by PhantomBigStu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 Alarming lack of updates, don't worry this has escaped the awful attrition rate I've accumulated, I did have to strip it back as I wasn't happy with the camo, and after a saturday morning spent in front of the sink with the nail polish remover it back underway, how far I get remains to be seen for now with the mustang STGB now imminent, and indeed new projects for the MTO on their way 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
