1:72 Airfix Dambuster Lancaster... "bomb gone"
theplasticsurgeon replied to Kallisti's topic in Bomber Command Group Build
Jolly well done - very atmospheric set of photos - thanks. -
Heller 1/72 Constellation
theplasticsurgeon replied to Solar Panel Phil's topic in Classic - up to 1968
Here's a review I wrote for another forum. http://modelingmadness.com/review/civil/mansconnie.htm I built both the TWA Super Connie and the MATS Constellation. -
It's been acquired for Jet Age museum - where I'm a volunteer. No details yet on when it will arrive at Staverton, but I'll get photos.

Tim's most productive year yet - More added 28 Dec.
theplasticsurgeon replied to theplasticsurgeon's topic in 2014 yearbook
Well I didn't enter the KITA GB - and that Saturn would have been an idael project. MiG21s - well not my thing so none in my stash. F-86 Sabres, I was swamped with other projects at the time. So the RAF Sabre I had planned, remains in my stash. WW1 - again not really my thing - so nothing in my stash to qualify. -

Absolutely tremendous - such an imaginative display very well done. Minor ask. Could you photograph with a black/dark backdrop to make it look like night? -
Mystery lighting proving a challenge !

I've just seen a comment on another forum by someone who DID use superglue with foil - successfully. Applied with a toothpick - a clean one please Pat. Not tried this myself, so you're going to have to show us how this turns out. -

PM if you need decals. I've just completed the same kit as a Seafire Ib - hence have an unused set of decals. Oh, and welcome to Britmodeller. -
Tim's Airfix Lightning F2A
theplasticsurgeon replied to theplasticsurgeon's topic in E.E. Lightning Single Type Group Build
This one is completely foiled. Dull side out. -
Fine by me.
-
The engines defined if it was an F-4 or an F-5. Pictures of both earlier on this thread. The A-B etc came from the camera fit, and associated bulges.

Tim's Airfix Lightning F2A
theplasticsurgeon replied to theplasticsurgeon's topic in E.E. Lightning Single Type Group Build
A new bit of foil is probably for the best Pat. Not a modelling secret, this is one of Tim's Top Tips: The adhesive I use is commercially available from Little Cars - formula probably is secret. In the absence of that - I'd try brushing some enamel varnish on the back of the foil - then roll it on when almost dry. I burnish it down with a cotton bud (clean). This finds the seam between the nosering and the aircraft - so I can run the scalpel around to trim the excess. Same at the front end. I use a longish wide strip to go around, and started and finished at the probe underneath - to conceal the edges. No it's not folded into the nose. -

That's kitchen foil glued on - sets it off quite nicely. I got some foil adhesive from Little Cars a few years ago. -
Matt, Whilst you're waiting, take a peruse at this Revell Victor I built in 2008: http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?showtopic=145652 As others have said, same kit at different times.

Scroll back to the top - I've just added two Airfix 1/72 Seafires, and two GMC Trucks. -
