Super spiffing, a true silk purse. Box on Strickers

I know I’ve read the internal/external colour thing before but the brain -eye interface seems to not want to function when comes to painting wheel wells. I see a lot of repaints in my future. Really enjoying the discussions and at least the camo mistake was noticed before RFI. Box on Strickers

A little scratching in the wheel wells? Also black white and silver undersides, interesting choice, I thought that was really early war. Box on Strickers

Not sure if you want to go to the level of 'counter of rivets' but this might be of interest http://soyuyo.main.jp/spit5b/spit5be-1.html#drawing Box on Strickers

Not wanting to pick holes but there's no propulsion paraphernalia, this may be a hoax! Box on Strickers -

It was with trepidation that I typed in Procopius in the members search as there have been so many incidents that have made international news coming from our former colony that there must be many more that don't make it. You're alive (Yeah!) You're not playing with planes (Booo!) Family is safe (Yeah!) You've not started the F6C (Booo!) I assume the two golden ropes with skull toggles are for the armoured tummy scratching flap on the big blue thing, by the way what scale are these Marine Johnnies? Nice to have you posting again fella! Box On Strickers

T'ain't a proper model unless the prop(s) spin! (see what I did there ) Mine has been glaring at me from under the bench (I don't have room for a Shelf of Doom (SoD??)) so partials are stacked on the floor, and in a few larger drawers. The fact that you have nearly completed two should be the poke in the glutes that I need to get it moved on. Nice pair fnnar Box On Strickers -

So the Spadgent method for rigging is attach bottom end with glue of choice then stretch ezeeline to top (through drilled hole?) And temporary secure with bluetac, flood hole with goc cut off waste? Sand smooth touch up paint. Strickers -

HAMP man replied to Heather Kay's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
For me the first point of focus on any aircraft model is the fit and finish of the glazing (if no glazing then the rigging!) as if this is done well then a high level of skill is always evident in the rest of the build. Then its the colouring in, and in my oinion we have two stonkerson both counts here, nice brace of Dutchies Heather. Box on Strickers -
