  1. Hello friends This is my latest work, one of the most (if not the most) beautiful French aircraft hever! J This is the Hobby Boss kit, with all the good and bad things that we know that we are goint go find when we open the box, in this case they indicate the Gunze 315 color to the fuselage, and as you can check that is wrong (well i saw hundreds of pictures and didn’t saw any with that color), so i went to the internet and with the Gunze 308 as base i made my own color. Some (very) putty is needed to correct some areas (if you guys want i can post some pictures of that latter, just let me know please) the refueling prob is wrong... not the correct shape and the mos annoying thing is the fact of Hobby Boss didn’t include clear parts for the wings light... L In the end with a some work we receive a very nice Rafale on the shelf. I love this one, and i will build other one for sure. I hope you like it Thank you for looking. Best regards from Portugal Vítor Costa

  2. This is my Corsair I completed using Humbrol and Modelmaster paints with Sky Decals. The kit is OOB apart from the decals and the antenna wire. I will be adding more images on the Aussie Modeller site when I do the next update.

  3. Here is my latest effort, the Trumpeter 1/32 Lightning. I've read about all the shortcomings of this kit, but as it was bought for me as a Xmas present I only added a seat, wheels and decals to the original kit. It LOOKS like a Lightning to me, anyway ! All comments welcomed !

  4. Hi All! I just finished my last "Mad Dog" bird in scale 1/144. However it's not a soviet type and not a typical eastern block's bird what I build usually I love this beauty since decades... I hope it can helps to remember for the 90's. Enjoy!... The kit: Minicraft Decal: F-DCAL silk screen series. (i've to say thank you for this perfect quality decal...) ...during building... ...and finally ready to fly...

  5. Kit - Hasegawa Mitsubishi F-2B with spine from an Italeri F-16D 'Barak' Paint - Humbrol, Tamiya & Xtracolour enamels, Tamiya acrylics, Alclad II lacquer Decals - Kit & Eagle Strike 'Mirage F-1's part 2' Extras - Damocles pod, MICA missiles & rails from RoG Rafale, etc etc, far too many to mention !!. Communication aerials, RWR nodes, GPS dome all scratchbuilt. Mitsubishi/IAI/Atlas F-2+ 3 Squadron, SAAF, Waterkloof AFB, Gauteng 2016 So, that's that, then. Really enjoyed every minute of this project - except for the couple of days when I thought I'd lost the windshield - great encouragement and participation from so many folks here, but special thanks to Steven Lewis, (FAR148) over on the 'What If site who selflessly responded to a small number of PM's throughout the process and, let's be honest, nailed the camo pattern when I just couldn't see where it had gone wrong. Thanks Steven And before anybody jumps-in, I know the exhaust isn't finished, but I've got an 'Alclad session' scheduled for later in the week !! As ever, happy to take any questions, comments, suggestions and criticism. Next I'll be finishing a Hobbyboss F-14 that I started just before we left the UK, a Rafale http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,36341.0.html and a 'real world' RF-4, before opening up either an F/A-18 or a Eurofighter . As ever thanks for taking the time to look, I'll do my very best to answer any questions, comments and criticism. AFN Ian

  6. I've just finished this one which I got from Ashley (Zipper) as a second hand sale at SMW 2012. Nothing new to be said about the kit so i'll bypass all that. This is the first ever one I've done in this scheme and it does look the biz if you ask me. White is appliance white and the red is Revell aqua with the LAG by Xtracrylix. I have used the Xtradecal sheet for some bits and the serial was made up from the bit box. Cockpit is kit with Neomega early seats which are absolutely tip top. The MDC was painted by hand and the canopy T-peices made from stretched sprue and fixed in place. The left over sprue was then used a tool to paint the 6 red discs just behind the front pilots seat as the toothpick was too big. I used a new to me bottle of pro-modellers wash and left it overnight to dry but when I rubbed it off it looked like some of it is a bit sturburn and has stained the paint slightly. I'd like the top side of the wings to be a bit lighter grey but it's not going to happen. It's modelled on an early 80's bird hence the early style FOD guards (made from plasticard) and stretched sprue for the link, old style beacon lights and the crest on the fin. The cabs didn't have the toblerone effect on the leading edges at this stage. The FOD guard handles were made out of the unused etch seat belts and the RBF sleeve is papermache. Thanks to Brian (MODeller) for the help of the crystal light on the nose (I'd ran out!). Anyway the photo's:

  7. I think, that this fighter has no needs to be introduced, as it is one of the most known aircrafts in history. Eduard kit of "dreidekker" is a lovely model and "must have" to all WWI-modellers. Mine comes from Dual Combo box, shared with my friend. Kit supplied with a beautiful Eduard-photoetch, consisting of prepainted instruments dials, seatbelts and - the most important - etched details for Spandau-MGs. It is very useful, as plastic guns in the kit are very basic. Unfortunately, I've lost somewhere small etched parts for the breech end, so I borrowed whole breech ends from Roden's Fokker D.VII. Kit is built almost out of the box. As a prototype aircraft of Lt. Werner Steinhauser was chosen. Only two photos of Steinhauser's triplane are known. One shows "funny face" on cowling, "Iron Cross"-type insignias and red fuselage band with yellow cross. And second presents "balkenkreuz" insignia, yellow-red striped tail-plane and fuselage band with inverted colors - yellow band with red cross. I'm completely sure, that these photos represents two different crafts, as the first one shows early small area ailerons on both wings, and second has late-type ailerons. I have decided to mix characteristic details of both aircrafts in one model. So from the first picture I took cowling-face, iron crosses, fuselage band and early ailerons (I think that with these ailerons Dreidekker looks more stylish), from the second picture comes repair patches on starboard middle wing and chipping on olive fields under isignias to the white base. I have added ignition plugs to the motor from stretched sprue and wires to them from nylon wire. It was a little bit lazy for me to hand-paint wooden layers on the plastic airscrew, so I have decided to try make it on original technology. I have glued together five layers of veneer of two different wood types, then I gave it shape with file and sandpaper using plastic airscrew as a sample. Then several layers of clear gloss varnish was given. Paintwork was done with Humbrol enamels. "Rain" camo was brush-painted with diluted olive color over linen base, - I paint parallel strokes with gradually fading apperance, then started again with bold strokes etc. Then strokes was blended a little with white-spirit, then another passage was done the same way. After third passage result seemed acceptable to me. Several coats of Future was given. Oil streaks on lower fuselage and wing imitated with AK-interactive fluid, small amount of MiG pigments added to represent dust on wheels and lower fuselage.

  8. Kit - Hobbyboss 1:72 Paint - Tamiya acrylics, Tamiya, Humbrol & Xtracolour enamels. Decals - Kit Extras - None Grumman F-14A Tomcat VF-41 'Black Aces' Photocall, NAS Oceana mid 1978. Not my best build by a long way, but very enjoyable none the less. IMHO a great little kit and well worth every penny. Good points - Price, excellent fit, good detail, you can build it as I have with the wings in the 'oversweep' position (not too many kits give you that option), very good decal choice and superbly packaged. Bad points, very soft plastic reminiscent of old Heller kits, panel lines so fine that they seem to disappear under two coats of paint !! - but that was probably 'user error'. Right from the start I was looking to build it completely 'naked' no pylons, no tanks, all buttoned-up and immaculate - there's a few photos on t'interweb from the Photocall in '78 just before the squadron embarked on USS Nimitz for the first cruise with the brand new F-14's, and they are spotless !! Great wee project, highly recommended. Thanks for taking the time to look, as ever all comments, criticism, questions and suggestions are welcome. AFN Ian

  9. Hi Guys Here is a model which has been in the part built box for a while and has now finally made it to the finish line. The basic airframe was built by Tony H a few years ago but was passed on to me as a part built S5. The plan was to finish her as WK198 since I had already built a Swift for my collection of 1950's fighters but this would fit in the record breakers collection since its feats in the Libian desert. Thinking this was easy I gave her a coat of blue, did the last bits of assembly and job done. Only then did I realise that as a Mk 1 converted to a Mk4, WK198 didn't have the extended chord outer wing, had a shorter fin and a slighly different shape under the nose. Hmmmm Well after a year or so I plucked up courage to cut her up and made the 3 mods above. Cutting up a vacform is not quite as easy as a normal kit but I was able to feed some rod into the the new leading edge and reattach/blend the wings to it by using lots of super glue and Milliput. I also made a new undercarriage having lost the original in a house move. (I know its here somewhere!) I stripped off the decals before repainting and making some new ones. Finally I added the wing fences. A note in Brians book 'Swift Justice' says these were removed for the record flight but I'm not so sure. Anyway at long last here are 2 Falcon Swifts, a rare sight if ever there was one! Cheers Colin W

  11. This is the best looking(in my opinion) form the 65th Aggressor Squadron. The camo turned out great in the end and I am very pleased with the results. I used aries cockpit and exhaust, Eduard exterior detail set, and Two Bobs decals. Hope you enjoy. Thanks for looking.

  13. A good kit that lefts plenty of space to an advanced modeler. Cockpit was enhanced by scratchbuilding and flaps were cut off and repositioned slightly and radiator grill was added, as well as cut outs in the wheel wells. I really did my homework on this kit and care was taken to simulate the difference between wooden and metal parts. As it operated in defensive mode I took some liberty to cammouflage it a bit further by painting gear covers black, as well as the area behind the seat and fuselage sides. Sorry for the crappy pictures. Josip

  14. Hi folks. Got these two finished today. First up Trumpeters Seafang, the kit fits together really nicely, I know there are accuracy issues but this was a simple OOB build; Then the Airfix Seafire FR46, still a really nice kit which looks great built up. Used an Aeroclub prop; Hope you like them.

  17. If you want to build a VC-10 in 1/72nd scale there are currently three options: 1) Magna's resin kit, 2) Anigrand's resin kit, and 3) Airways' vacform. Seeing as I don't get on well with resin kits and find vacs much easier to work with, I'm going for the Airways kit to built this iconic beauty. These kits are hard to find nowadays - this one popped up on ebay a while back, and having missed out on one previously I was determined to land this one... in the end I ended up paying around £50 for it. When you consider the retail prices of both the Magna and Anigrand kits, I thought this a pretty good price - after all it is a lot of plastic. The box: Inside there are two large sheets of plastic, containing all the components to build VC-10 C1 and K2 versions: Surface detail is good, with nicely engraved panel detail: There is a comprehensive set of plans and a decal set, which is sadly now showing its age: There were no transparencies with this kit (there were when first released but this set had been lost) so I contacted Magna who kindly supplied me with two of their lovely vacform cockpits, as well as a white metal/resin set of landing gear. These will be a vast improvement over the kit parts which are the black 'stalks' seen below the transparencies in this picture: Due to the kit decals being past their best, I bought new a set from TwoSix for 101 Squadron VC-10s, including the rather striking black-tailed 90th Anniversary scheme for XV105: Eventually, she'll hopefully look like this: http://www.airliners.net/photo/UK---Air/Vickers-VC10-C1K/1306434/&sid=51ed78c73551a971fb6b63f84f645181 The first job (and perhaps the most tedious) will be gutting out the cabin windows I'll keep you posted...

  18. Hi all The matte varnish has just dried on this! Nothing to say about the kit that has no already been said. As it was a gift I splashed out on replacement resin wheels and tries as well a stowage set which also came with a replace .50 hmg with 3 piece brass barrel! and a 40mm GMG which I'm saving four my wimik. All from gasoline models. Finished with humbrol acrylic and and alclad klear cote, lightly dusted with might mig pigments. Oh and I made the wheel arch rubbers from thin black card attached with PVA and added some seat belts from tamiya tape. Thoroughly enjoyable build from start to finish.

  19. Hello Everyone: This is my first post here, my first Russian plane in 48th and my first Flanker! I have done what a I could to take better pictures, as it was to resplendent I changed the gloss finish to semi-gloss and I added a picture of the conversion I used. It is a conversion I found on ebay time ago, does not have any brand on it (or box... or bag...), i guess is the copy of a copy... of a good conversion. Interior, seat, windscreen and IR were not included so I used some parts from the academy kit, seat from wolfpack and scratch for the windscreen and IR. Decals from begemont, demo flankers and PE ladder from Turbine. It was painted with water based acrylics, Akan for the interior and the dark brown, Vallejo for all the rest, including primer, varnish and decal solution (first time working with this kind of paint and I loved them, no smells, no thinners, just tap water!). I tried to build a model of the first prototype, as it was seen in FIDAE 98 in Chile. I have just started to work on Flankers and I`m not an expert so would be great to have some feedback. All comments and constructive criticism welcome. Thanks for watching. Adrian

  20. Hi all Here is my entry for the F-15 GB, the rather nice Tamiya F-15A. She is built with Eduard etch interior to replace the kit decals which were shot, a Quickboost bang seat and Two Bobs decals (which were great). She is built as 76-033, `25th Fighter Wing, Florida ANG, July 2006 The weapons are the kit's and she is painted in Xtracrylix for the main paint, Alcald Steel for the rear and Mr Metal for the exhaust. Thanks for looking and all comments welcome

  22. The Bristol M1.C is not such a well known aircraft from the Fisrt World War, as it was largely restricted to use in the Middle East and with training units, due to monoplanes being out of favour at the time it appeared. It is a shame as it was by all accounts a superb aeroplane, designed for speed and handling and was very well liked by those who flew it. Rarely kitted, Alley Cat have come up with a beautiful 1:32 model of Bristol's M1.C cast almost entirely in resin. Even in the box it looked impressive, a full review is Here. It built as good as it looked, being an absolute pleasure from start to finish. One of the most difficult things to do was choose one of the 7 colour schemes provided, because I really wanted to do three of them (72 Sqn or Silver & black trainer or 150 Sqn). In the end I went with the 72 Squadron machine as I have a slight preference for front line machines. There is a 'Work in Progress' Here describing the build. Anyway, enough talk, here she is; Now I'm sure that this model is going to appeal especially to those of us who also build Wingnut Wings WW1 kits. So I couldn't resist a couple of pictures with it alongside my WNW Bristol F2.b. In conclusion I would say that this is an outstanding first venture into World War 1 kits by Alley Cat. The quality of the resin castings is worth special mention as they are absolutely superb. This was the single piece fuselage before I started; It would make a very good first resin kit, (apart from a disasterous ARBA TSR.2 twenty odd years ago this was my first full resin build), and the rigging is very simple I hope Alley Cat continue with this series, and eagerly await the next release, whatever it will be. Can I start the suggestions rolling with a Fokker D.VIII? Please! (Eduard 1/48 Weekend edition) Cheers John

  23. Well my modelling mojo had gone on holiday, in December while everyone else was showcasing their years output I realised that I had only completely one kit in 2012, I had got that involved in building it that it took forever and in the end I was not that happy with it. Drastic action was needed, normally I would build an AFV to get the modelling juices flowing again, unfortunately I picked a Bronco kit with ten zillion pieces and link by link tracks, it's now gathering dust on the shelf, so it had to be something else something drastic. By chance Revell launched the 1/32 scale Heinkel He 219 and Mike did a nice review of it, it intrigued me even though I don't build Luftwaffe subjects and I do not build multi engined aircraft in my normal 1/32 scale, I build them in 1/48 scale, I've even got a 1/48 Tamiya 219 in the loft. Build reviews of the kit were good so I bought one, and got stuck in, a straight out of the box build (apart from the Eduard seat belts that is) I would not even correct the somewhat dodgy prop blades, and the result is pictured below, it did revive my interest in modelling and I have now got another kit on the go and am planning yet another. I learned quite a bit on this build which is always a plus point. It's not perfect but it was never meant to be anything but a distraction build, the gory details are here http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234934140-revell-heinkel-he-219/ It is a good kit and fun to build but I am going to have to build an outrigger on my study shelf to display it ! Here's the photos. Cheers Dennis

  25. Some facts from Great History: Despite the fact that some sources show this plane with the serial number LN853 (as well as on the decal from Italeri), in fact, this number had Spitfire EN853, because LN853 number was reserved for a series of "Wellington" heavy bombers. EN853 board was placed in the Royal Air Force in May 1942, in the 401st flight squadrons. In August 1942, the unit was transferred to duty in the 121st Squadron RAF "Eagle" in Rockford, formed from American volunteer pilots. On the September 24th, 1942 in order replenishment squadron arrived American volunteers, among whom was Major William "Jimmy" Daley - an American, a native from Amarillo city, Texas. And he gave this aircraft. It is noteworthy that William Daley on arrival assumed command link - three days after the death of its namesake and countryman - Lieutenant William Kelly, nicknamed "Wild Bill" – who was a former bus driver. In September 1942 the 121st Squadron of the Royal Air Force was disbanded, and on this basis has been created 335th Fighter Squadron, which was a part of the Fourth Fighter Group U.S. Eighth Air Force (USAAF's Eight Air Force). Then, apparently, over the UK ID marks were bears the U.S. Air Force and the letter codes are unchanged. In January 1943, W.Daley was called back to the U.S., as a pilot with combat experience, to work as a flight instructor. During this short period (just over two months) W.Daley managed to knock on this Spitfire 2 and 3 damage to enemy aircraft. At that time, the squadron was primarily to track the B-17 and B-24 bombers. In the same month, the EN853 board received the large amount of total damage during the intense fighting, and then this aircraft was scrapped for parts. In 1944, former pilot of this board - Major W.Daley returned to Europe, but in the 371st squadron of the U.S. Air Force, where he was to fly in heavy fighters P-47 "Thunderbolt", but, unfortunately, was shot down in combat and died in September 1944, just after the Allied landing in France. About model: This model of Spitfire from “Italeri” has some difficult to fix geometry, in particular, playing the infamous W-shaped profile of the wing. There are also minor defects as "no-cutting" jointing lines and hatches. I tried to fix something, something too lazy. The fuselage of the model, for the sake of cost reduction in the production of various modifications, is made from five parts. But fitting of parts is tolerant, except for the "classic" docking wing to the fuselage. I did not use any aftermarket. I graved thickness of the wing from the inside to cut 6 holes to clear sleeves. The main cannon made from a 0.3 mm brass profile. They wound copper wire of 0.1 mm, trying to imitate the trunk lining. Guns are also made from a tube, setting them flush with the edge of the wing. Belts in the cockpit and instrument panel – decals from tamiya’s Spitfire. Mirror re-manufactured from a piece of brass wire and Christmas tinsel. Basic colors - Tamiya acrylics, gloss - Future and matt varnish from Tikurilla. Made of copper wire on the landing gear hydraulics. Piston rod - Chrome Silver from MM. Exhaust pipes drilled, painted with “rust” Revell 83. Antenna cables - Nylon thread. Welded decals with "Set" and "Sol" from Microscale. Chips - part of a toothpick in the fresh scratch acrylic, some wearing makeup brush #000. Soot from exhaust pipes - Tamiya powder box, washing-MIG, and drips - Tamiya Smoke X19. I was used in this works many materials from "walkaround"s, "Kagero", "Squadron", "Aero Detail", "Osprey", "Warpaint", "War in the Air," etc. magazines and some www information.

  28. A quick update... I airbrushed Humbrol 27 as the main colour to virtually everything except the the Soyuz 'nose'. The exhaust bells and bases and the bottom parts of the booster rockets were painted Tamiya Silver and then used my Flag Red mix to paint the insides Then detail painting to the Vostok capsule - I think I may have to redo this as the bottom (with the ring) should be Humbrol 27? I used a photo of one in a museum and it showed Light Grey - I will go away and check again. Matt Irvine's article said that the oxy bottles would have been green, so that is what I painted them. Finally the Soyuz capsule/nose in Flat White with red-topped fluting at the top Once I have confirmed the colour of the lower part of the Vostok, I can start getting it all together. I have also primed and painted the base satin black. The last thing is to paint Yuri - I'll try and get him done tonight. Thanks for looking

  29. Thanks very much for your kind comments! Much appreciated! Yes drawings are always an issue. The beauty of 3D is that you can match up the model not only with 2D planviews but also with perspective photographs. It's very fiddly but it brings to light many interesting errors on drawings. I first discovered this doing my Mustang in 2004... so many drawings suffered from the same problem (a too short rear fuselage, if I recall correctly). Doing it in 3D is a fresh approach. I can't guarantee it's error free, but generally a lot more accurate for sure. I'll produce line drawings of my model once complete.

  32. I seem to remember an account in which Spitfires supposedly 'rescued' two untroubled Whirlwinds from a group of Fw190s. The Whirlwind was an agile plane and would have certainly made mincemeat of the Bf110. The Bf109 was more problematic - the Hurricane could out-turn it but was otherwise outclassed. However, the four Hispano cannon layout in the Whirlwind would have been a deciding factor. That kind of firepower would allow the Whirlwind to hit at ranges greater than the Luftwaffe bombers could handle. As the original poster is envisaging a lot of Whirlwinds any reliability problems with the Hispano would have been rapidly solved. I suspect that the RAF would have evolved tactics to use the good points of their fighters. The outcome of the BoB would have been the same though.

  33. As I've stated on the review build thread: - Fundamentally, an excellent kit and a welcome release. - Thoroughly recommend the Aires pit to replace the Brassin pit (as it reduces the number of swearing incidences!). - Equally thoroughly recommend the Eduard additional detailing set - this transforms certain areas from being good into real works of art. The undercarriage bays in particular - and it's very easy to work with. - Be prepared for one or two areas with poorish fit, but whether this is induced by the resin, or just by my modelling skills is a matter of conjecture. I'd thoroughly recommend it - and it makes up to be a wonderfully detailed, and highly beautiful kit at the end of it. So here's my photos now! Many thanks for following... Chris

  34. The effect of the oil canning is less visible because of the matte paint finish, in order to compensate this i highlighted each panel with my airbrush. Please don`t mind the different color tones in the pictures, they were taken with different light/camera settings. Karel

  38. Is this thread really going anywhere now? I've been watching the "Yes they will", "No they won't" argument go back & forth (very politely so far) for several pages now, and haven't seen much if any new material of late. Could we just round it up by stating that some people think it'll happen, and some don't, and agree to differ? Then we can all go off and abuse electrons on another thread with a hopefully more productive outcome. Just so long as it's not arguing over colours on a black and white photo, or some such malarkey Oh, and just to add... I hope they do, and I hope it sells well, but I won't hold my breath

  41. No pressure then Chris I've got the hull and most of the decks fitted. Now it's a matter of removing some detail in readiness for the etched parts, and cleaning up the hull seams. Jockster, thanks for the info. The slightly high foredeck is the reason it's not fitted yet. Won't take much, just a few swipes with a sanding stick.

The fan installed and some masking started with some kabuki tape.. fixed the Italeri exhausts.. not a perfect fit for Sierra Hotel Models intakes.. to have a little more flesh to sand things smooth later.. just a little filler required..
