Ty Djos

Many thanks Rigging on her is very easy. The kit needs some work, as there are many mistakes but the base is quite good. i think this particularly aircraft was never done at this scale. Eugène Gilbert's aircraft has many modifications. Cheers Pierre

Thank you very much Pals !! @Maginot Diedral might be very sightly negative but it's much accentuated by camera Have a good day

Hi gents Rendition of Eugène Gilbert's aircraft named "le vengeur" (the avenger). Based on Special Hobby short run kit. Lot of modifications; cockpit completely done with evergreen, floor added, modified fuselage and spinner. There are a lot of corrections needed, but the base is good, with an overall shape correct. Morane Saulnier logo by Tom's model works. Hotchkiss Mle 1909 machine gun from Gaspatch model Have a good day Pierre

Thank you very much She's totally done now with her trolley. Cheers Pierre

Thank you guys Yes, chaotic period and prelude of future conflicts. For France Indochina war and Algeria war (even if the term of pacification was used instead war as it was French departments). Have a nice day

Thank you Much appreciated ! For the little story the aircraft flew once and crashed. Pilot tried to do aerobatics (half barrel) and loose control...

Hi gents Transkit MDC used to transform Tamiya's kit. Unusual camo as it's a captured Rufe and given to French Air Force by ATAIU. Ame-iro following the recipe of Bruce Salmon. Nakajima green with AK real color (Black green). Happy easter

Hello Gents Finished with Model Cellar figure of Werner Voss and refueling cart by Aviattic Best regards pierre

Hi Gentlemen i’m completely lost with all those variants and variations. As Viktor’s book costs nowadays its weight in gold is it possible to explain simply the steps of changes for the IL-2 monoplace and then why zvezda’s IL-2 is wrong ? Thank you in advance. Best regards Pierre

De nada have a nice day

Du maquettage polonois de bon aloi ! Ca donne envie; c'est réussi !!

Thanks for your kind comments mates ;) Sprues are clearly WNW Manual and decals Meng. The decals are a little bit thick and some are missing (like propellers brand). No rigging on the notice. I tried to do this to help: cheers Pierre

Thank you I Yes i had a box with sightly folded wings and broken part on middle wing. You can really fix it easily (just bend down the wings). For the panting i applied oil paint over a coat of acrylic paint. Starting by dots and pull with a flat brush moistened. Cheers Pierre

Hi all This is a representation of the Werner Voss Fokker F.1 done with the Mengnut Wings kit. The kit is really a pleasure to build Painting done by oil over acrylic. Have a nice day Pierre

Hello Yes Badder it was present. I used it to represent the defeat. Regards Pierre

hello Badder i had it in the stash since two or three years. There are some on ebay but quite expensive. Maybe try the one from Dragon. i will look in my local store. regards pierre

Hello Rob As John said glossy varnish (x22 tamiya very diluted or klir -future- with flat brush). i don’t use anymore washes from any brand. I do it with fine oil (very interesting for the choice of the color) and i can precisely dilute it (less or more pigments) with Abteilung oil thinner. With a small round brush it takes some time but you keep paint clean. Cheers pierre

Hello Almost finished...just missing an umbrella antenna.. Have a nice day Pierre

Hello First painting stage. Cheers Pierre

Hello fellow modelers At first a Czech car, then used by german police at the beginning of the war. Will be all grey Let's start with some modulation; black, white and grey .. Cheers Pierre

Thank you very much. Simon: i did a pin wash with raw umber and black. Then a coat of glossy varnish. Then some dots of raw umber blurred with a flat brush to make shadows. I have painted again the face of the figure. I would like to have yet the book of David Parker but takes a long time to arrive due to lockdown.. IMG_0492 by Take care Pierre

Thank you so much Gents Now that's time for a pause. time to receive resin wheels and umbrella antenna. I have added on of the figure of the box. Take care Pierre

thank you Simon, Thank you John The mesh screen comes from a little (and thick) fret of PE included in the box. The frame is little bit fragile but the fit is perfect. Adding some accessories, earth and splash mud. Not to much cause i have always the fear to over done. Edit: i have erase some chipping on jerrycans. It was too visible. Add also white cross on grey Jerrycan.

Thank you Simon Concerning the relation to the last defender of Constantinople i don't think so...but who knows A step forward, almost all the accessories are in place: Cheers Pierre
