Nicely and clean painted pit! Top! Side consoles are decals or painted too ?

Since my very first modelling expieriences as I was a young boy, the Airfix Gnat kit will be the first of that brand after many many years. After opening the box I was absolutely impressed, don`t know what I`ve expected. It seems Airfix has meanwhile reached the rank of well known asian brands. Nevertheless the cockpit is well detailed I couldn`t resist to add some minor improvements. I`ve started with some knobs and lever out of Evergreen and Plastruct plastic and drilled out the instrument bezels. About the Instruments I`ll explain later more. The ejection seat are nice moulded with a lot of parts.I`ve tried to sculpting the cussions out of Green Stuff, and replicated the belts with thin tinfoile. The strabs are photoetched parts from Reheat. Here we can see both seats try fitted into the cockpit.

Very nice result for such an old kit.

Nice work, clean built and an amazing wethering..

Amazing models with a lot of character. Nice weathering and I like your photos. Thx for sharing

Pretty Lady with that Longtip Wings, looks very elegant.

It`s a really nice sheme and a perfect paint finish. Congrats and thx for sharing.

Great and unbelieveable results with an old Airfix kit! That`s really stunning!

Tim, that`s simply stunning! Nice clean built and a perfect finish! Congrats and thx for sharing Dirk

Niles, many thx, that you have discovered the mistake. I`m not a nutcounter, 1 or 2 mm in lenght do not intererest me very much. However, I always try to built a very exact reply of the original, so it is unexcusable to do such a mistake of a significant detail like the quarter canopy of an type 7 version. I`ll try to fix that problem soon as possible. Thx again for your hawkeyes and your knowledge. Greetz Dirk

Duncan, before I was not really a friend of the Javelin. But now I have to revise my opinion, because in NMF she looks marvellous. But it`s also your successful assembling and that perfect finish, which has changed my point of view. Thx for sharing.

Wow, this are fantastic pictures, they knocks me down. A stunning model.

Hi Vitor, an ingredibly nice chopper! At first I thought it is a bigger scale! Very nicely built!

The 109 E-7 Trop is not an actual finished model. She was finished last winter, but weather conditions are now the best ones and I´ve not posting this model here on britmodeller. (best european modelling forum ever ) This Tamiya kit is nowadays still topically. It`s nearly built out of the box, only minor additional details were added. The list is short: adding new rivets with "Rosie the riveter some drain pipes Trop filter from Eduard Exhaust pipes from Moskit Cockpit from True Detail Background for photoshooting was my 1/48 hangar as for my Saab Gripen. I hope I`ve not strained too much your nerves with too many pictures... Thx for watching. Greetz Dirk
