    Again, looks great - well done. A very slight improvement though. Run a brush loaded with black acrylic along the aerials, it changes their appearance to insulated wire.

    Tim's Spitfire XVIe flown by Air Chief Marshal Sir James Milne Robb 1895 - 1968.
  3. theplasticsurgeon
    Completion - thanks to @Andwil for the decals. Air Chief Marshal Sir James Milne Robb 1895 - 1968.
  4. theplasticsurgeon
    Fuselage parts assembled. Then wings and fin added.
  5. theplasticsurgeon
    Cockpit interior parts and lower fuselage being assembled.

    Undercarriage and underside details. And up onto her pins. Just identity decals left for this build now.
  7. theplasticsurgeon
    Canopy fitted and framed, then insignia decals.

    The 1982 Silverstone 6 hour was the first endurance race that I attended. This car was more suited to the 1000km races which started in 1983. All the commentary talk during the morning was about the 956 and its fuel consumption. Whilst it had the performance to outstrip anything else on the track that day - it couldn't race like that for 6 hours without running out of fuel. It was sad to watch later in the race, when its consumption had been confirmed under racing conditions, having to drive the entire lap in top gear - to last for the entire 6 hours. Coming out of Woodcote Chicane at low revs in top gear - unlike other cars, which were racing. Great model of Derek Bell, who I watched racing many times.

    Quick answer whilst I'm out. Proper response later.

    Airbrushed Humbrol 47, the closest I could find for Powder Blue.
  11. theplasticsurgeon
    Wings and fuselage assembled, then put together.

    By my reckoning this is the FOURTH F-16 STGB, thought the initials weren't used for the first one, and I've taken part in all of them. 2012 and my Hasegawa F-16CCV. 2017 and my Hasegawa Israeli F-16B. 2021 and my Academy Thunderbird, and now 2025 and my Hasegawa Viper.

    Quick photo of the parts. Very finely engraved, no flash, and from a previous built - great fit. Available as single and two seater, various versions and schemes.

    I built that kit in 1981. Wish I'd known about airbrushes and acrylic white paint then. And it didn't have the driver name decals then.

    Interior, before I joint the fuselage halves.
