Hi all

I have decided to change the spinning prop design to a more "usual" way.

See photos below:

 

 

 

[P-51B Mustang RAAF 3Sqn (Hasegawa 1/72)]

Finally finished the Hasegawa 1/72 in RAAF 3sqn markings. I am building 3 P-51B this old Hasegawa edition wwhich is not very detailed and shows its age. I decided to build it in flight (my first time doing it) due the shallow landing gear bay. I also doing 1 KP P-51B which was considered the best in this scale until Arma Hobby Model Kits released theirs. It has good details but I can foresee some issues with fitting since it’s a short run style kit. I also building the exceptional Arma Hobby Mustang which is by far the top notch kit, however it’s a not a beginner kit and it requires extra attention reading the instructions to determine the right parts for the different versions. I used the Arma Hobby decals in this kit.

I could have gone further with weathering but I restrained myself. Looking forward for your comments.

That's really nice model. I can't wait to see the 1/72nd version that they will be soon releasing.

Verey good repair there Bruce. If you need some decals maybe I can help you, just give me buzz mate.

[Aussie P-40N]

That’s great progress and nice to have you back to the bench mate. I was missing your buildings. 
You forgot to mention that the world went crazy in 2020/21. I hope to see it finished soon. Cheers

Hi all

Here is my latest model finished, the FMA IA.58 Pucará (Special Hobby 1/72)

Model represents the aircraft A-511 Grupo de Ataque 3 - BAM Malvinas, pilot mayor Carlos Tomba. This aircraft was shot down on the 21st may 1982 by Lt Cdr "Sharkey" Ward piloting the Sea Harrier XZ451/006. Mayor Tomba survived the ejection and later became prisoner of war.

I'm really glad to finally finish this kit. It fought me all the way (I started this building on June 2020). Several problems with fit and when it was almost done I had a problem with the windscreen and broke it when trying to fix it. I had to find another kit to replace the part (Thanks Trevor ).

Not my best model but glad to finally call it done.

Hi Paulo, 

Really like your Zero, you have made a great job of it. 

The weathering is nice and restrained, with a hint of use on the undersides. 

Subtle....... 

Thanks for sharing.

Definitely go for aftermarket decals. The kit deserves it 

[Mitsubishi A6M5 Zero - Tamiya 1/72]

Hi all

Just finished this little gem from Tamiya.
It was the time build the Tamiya Zero and I was really impressed.
The overall fitting and crispy details makes hard to believe it's a 1/72nd scale kit.

Kit built OOTB including the seatbelts decals. The only addition to the kit was a scratch built pitot tube using syringe needles and the IFF antenna made with stretching line 0.1mm from MIG.

The Tamiya decals continue to disappoint. I don't really understand a company that makes the most beautiful kit to assemble and can't get good decals (to be clear, their decals are way too thick), in this case I think they should benchmark Airfix or Eduard. Even using tons of decal solutions I couldn't get a excellent result.

Unfortunate choice of decal version. I, particularly, will refuse to buy this kit just because the decal option.

But this is just my own opinion.

I'm also curious to know if this a re-box of another manufacturer or a new tooling from KP.

Much appreciate for your comment.

Hi all

Here are the photos for my latest finished model.
Academy kit 1/72
Very nice kit to build straight out of the box. I didi a few scratch built details like the seatbelts for the ejection seat, the canopy tinting, threads on the tyres and a landing light on the nose landing gear.
I regretted to made the option to leave the canopy open since it was very hard to glue it in place and it still a little bit crooked.
The have glass painting was a mixed of Tamiya and Gunze to get the match. I've tried SMS 69 Have Glass but I wasn't happy with the colour (too greenish to my taste).
