    Looks good Phil and the finish you have acheived on the first camo colour is brilliant.

    Nice work John the cockpit details look great and as Rob and Will say you know that it is in there plus you get the added bonus of having all the fun doing it.

    Looks like you are going to be a busy boy Dazz.

    OK off we go then, I don't think that I have put this much resin into a kit before. I made a start on the lower fuselage by removing the undercarriage bays. I wasn't sure how I was going to do this but decided in the end to chain drill and then join the dots as it were ........ ........ and after some clean up this is where I am up to. However, this wasn't without it's problems, a bit of over zealous work with a mini drill led to me blowing through the fuselage side in a couple of places. I also noticed that the Aries nosebay replacement is a little shorter than the kit bay. So bit more work on the fit of the nosebay and then on with the upper fuselage changes to accomodate the cockpit. I hope that is a bit easier to fit.

    Looking good. Sorry to read about the engine difficulties but it does look like a great unit.

    Great choice and nice photo's, going to enjoy watching your build.

    Mark Thanks for the link. I have bookmarked it and will be ordering some.

    I like these Aggressor schemes, looking forward to watching.

    I would just follow Dazz's example in his excellent build and mark the bits that you need to cut away and just take your time when you come to cut. You certainly have the patience to achieve a good result. Good Luck

    That is a nice looking anniversary scheme look forward to seeing it finished.

    That Black Aces scheme is a nice choice Dave.

    Wow that's another good scheme Mark, I hope your eye's are up to it.

    Great stuff Mark. Where did you pick up the decals I have been trying to get a set of 1/144th Blue Angels but can't find them in stock anywhere.
  14. nimrod54
    That's going to look good Neal. I will be watching to see how you put the wing together with interest, having just picked up a set for a future build.

    Cheers to all, I have had the Leading Edge decals for a while now and then I picked up a kit with the same scheme, but some of the decals in there seem a little bright. I just hope that I can get a good match for the Dark Blue colour and that I mix enough if that is the way I have to go. Ray S Hope that you do get enough time to model your CF D-Day option. Is it the 50th anniversary scheme with invasion stripes and checker-board rudders?

    Great photographs made all the better for the blue skies. You have got a lot of wonderful shots, thanks for sharing them.

    Great model of the Herald and I like the last shot with it alongside the F27. Fantastic

    Great model of the Corsair II Mike and the photography is as spectacular as ever. I really like the star effect on the lights in the last photograph.

    Stunning. That exhaust and the heat-staining on the rear fuselage is fantastic.

    This is my entry, I am looking forward to starting and to watching progress on other builds. It looks like there will be some interesting schemes. I am going to use this kit with these resin replacements - Cockpit, Wings and Wheel Bays. and I plan to use these decals by Leading Edge and not those in the kit.

    What a lovely F-27 and those decals look great.
  23. nimrod54
    Can't believe the way that this has crept up. Signed up to it last July and we are now only a week away, looking forward to getting going.
  24. nimrod54
    Wow, that is really nice Airbus and a lovely scheme. Brilliant job Tom.
  25. nimrod54
    You're getting pretty good at this photo game now Rob. They don't look like models at all.
