Hi TC in LA I think you might need to adjust your screen, the upper colours used are indeed RAF Dark Green, Sea Grey Medium, and Ocean Grey, all Vallejo model air paints. But thanks for your comments, I wouldn’t look at them as a put down, we are all here to help each other. Mike

This is a 1/48 scale Kinetic, Belgian AF F-16 MLU Tiger Meet 2009, with after market Eduard cockpit detail set and remove before flight tags. The model is painted with Vallejo model air paints, applied with an Aztek spray brush. Had a few problems with this kit, fit was an issue on some of the parts, but overall It’s been a nice kit to build, the instructions are a bit hit and miss on some of the smaller parts. My 6th and 7th builds went the way of the bin due to inconsistent paint work which I wasn’t happy with, these have been replaced and are in the stash to rebuild. to view the album http://s1240.photobucket.com/albums/gg487/chameleon20091/5th%20Build/ On the bench 1/48 Italeri Northrop Grumman EA-6B Prowler 1/48 Hasegawa AV-8B Harrier II Plus Model Kit 1/48 Accadamy Grumman F-14A Tomcat US Navy 1/48 Hobby boss Panavia Tornado F3 ADV Model Kit 1/48 Hobby boss Vought A-7E Corsair II and many more enjoy Mike

The model and figures are painted with Vallejo model air paints, applied with an Aztek spray brush. After sales elements include an Eduard cockpit detail set, ICM RAF ground crew and pilot, and scratch built windsock And before any one says it yes I got the airalons wrong, when I discovered this it was to late to alter, but it looks ok. all the other images are here http://s1240.photobucket.com/upload/albums/chameleon20091/?location=4th+Build Mike

Its not that I don’t know how to do this, the images I have are very large in size some are 28mb, if I load these to the forum, the server will slow, and the page will take ages to load, then everyone will complain that the images are to big. So I took this option so you can view them all with out affecting the forum Mike Its not that I don’t know how to do this, the images I have are very large in size some are 28mb, if I load these to the forum, the server will slow, and the page will take ages to load, then everyone will complain that the images are to big.

This was something that I saw in an article re water effects, so to the 3rd build a Maritime diorama features a Tamiya Fairy Sword Fish at 1/48 scale, painted with Vallejo model air paints, applied with an Aztek spray brush. After sales elements include an Eduard cockpit detail set, along with engine detail set and super scale decals, which are applied using micro set and micro sol. The diorama sits in a picture frame, with the water effect made with clear bathroom sealant http://s1240.photobucket.com/albums/gg487/chameleon20091/3rd%20Build/

my 1st build after many many years not building

My 1st build took about 4 weeks working evenings and weekends solid, so when I had completed that I wanted a little more of a challenge, I had planned this out whilst doing the 1st build. 9 weeks evenings and weekends some evenings went in to early morning, well strait in to the next day. But it was one I wish I hadn’t started, if you know what I mean,originally it was going to be 3 Messerschmitt’s but Eduard had only 2 in stock at the time, so the other Messerschmitt became a stuka, but I took this a little further, and I added a small motor in the stuka, just to be different. Building 2 aircraft together was a little over powering, as I had to repeat everything, so I built the stuka afterwards on its own. Any way enjoy the images, I have loaded them as before as they are very large files, and it will slow the server down when scrolling if these were just added to the site. includes two Eduard 1/48 scale profipack Messerschmitt 109s, painted using Vallejo model air paints, applied with an Aztek spray brush. It also includes sales packs of Eduard cockpit detail set, and super scale decals, which are applied using micro set and micro sol. The models feature true detail tyres, with masters metal guns. The Stuka is a Hasegawa 1/48 scale model, painted with Vallejo model air paints, applied with an Aztek spray brush. After sales components include an Eduard cockpit detail set, and super scale decals, which are applied using micro set and micro sol. The diorama boasts Verlinden ground crew, along with Dragon Luftwaffe ground crew, a Tamiya jerry can set, Verlinden bomb set, and a scratch built engine hoist. The farmhouse and wall are from local train set dealer. The base is MDF with a Verlinden air force runway set, and Tamiya diorama grass effect. http://s1240.photobucket.com/albums/gg487/chameleon20091/2nd%20Build/

Also for got to say this is a Tamyia 1/48 scale P-51 D Mustang, piloted by Clarence E. "Bud" Anderson's. The models are painted with Vallejo model air paints, applied with an Aztek spray brush. After sales components include an Eduard cockpit detail set and super scale decals, which are applied using micro set and micro sol. There is also a Verlinden 1/48 scale base, and ground crew and a Tamiya jerry can set used Mike T
