Tamiya 1/48 P47D, Brazilian AF
Convair replied to MicroGaz's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Even without the wing pylons, it is a very nice model. Interesting position of the ventral tank. -
Nice. Scale?
-
Both models are very good, but I especially liked this nice painting. It's the kind of thing that makes you want to build a kit.

Walthers Solvaset. I have a lot of really old decals (some are pretty thick, too). Let's see if this decal softener will work well. Also, I plan to try this simple little thing. I've never built a snap-fit-kit before. But I plan to use glue! (and add some improvements, like a decent cockpit, for example; the canopy will also need to be completely replaced with a better one). I love Phantoms, in all their incarnations (but only in 1/72 scale... 😄)

Restoring a ‘Previously Loved’ Airfix 1/72 B-25 Mitchell
Convair replied to Brigbeale's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
Very good work Brigbeale, I will be watching! I also restored an Airfix B-25J a few years ago, it was like this: (the barrel in the nose was bent, the MG the previous builder had used was metal...) -
Nice aircraft. Nice vehicles. Nice scenario. Perfect!

A Group of Gals - Two Revell B-17Gs and a Hasey Friend
Convair replied to CedB's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
The large number of pieces requires laborious work, but that's it. These ("new") forts from Revell are great kits, the parts fit well and pose no problem. Easy. -
Me too, sometimes. However, I realized that if the talc used does not have extremely fine particles ("coarse talc"), and/or if air is trapped in the mixture, after sanding, small micro-holes may appear on the sanded surface. But in general this is a good cyano-putty. I also use stretched sprue, especially when the seams to be filled are large (very wide and/or deep). I glue the piece of sprue in place (i.e., over the seam) using any glue (not too dense, not too liquid) suitable for polystyrene. After drying well, just sand until the surface is even. If neccessary (visual inspection, including gently running the fingernail over the seams to check for bumps or recesses) I use cyanoacrylate (medium density) for a final finish. Most of the time I use only pure cyano to cover the seams (laziness 😜).

How many Phantoms can you get in a bath?
Convair replied to iainpeden's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Oh no, phantoms in the bathroom! 😁 Nice collection, the F-4 is my favourite jet. Congratulations! -
Nice effect of metal sheets. I want to try it on a next model of mine.

Very cool model. I like it. -
RF-4C Phantom 1/72 Hasegawa
Convair replied to Dmitry Stelmakh's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Very nice model, I remembered the other "Starize". Congratulations! -
Very nice model, but I think you forgot to paint the bare resin nose (just kidding 😁).

Hi Nicolas, the website https://www.vintage-airfix.com/instructions.php allows you to download several old Airfix instruction sheets in PDF format. The instructions for the B-25 are in the letter "B", just click on "B-25 Mitchell".

Very nice and psychedelic. I felt in the 60s.

Nice model. Movable canopy? Cool!

Very well built and painted model. And what an evil face!
