  1. Thanks @psdavidson and @Hamden. A coat of XF2 matt White laid down as an undercoat. Main wheels got the same. As well as the prop tips. First coat of X2 Gloss White. It will need a second pass I think. Various other bits got sprayed too. And the prop got its tips splashed with a dab of yellow with a hairy stick. I am leaving this to it for the rest of the day. Simon.
  2. Thanks Mark. That is one of the good things about modelling, you can pick and choose what you want to build and when. Simon.
  3. Cheers lads, a more relaxing build, as such. Thanks @cobraleader, @GREG DESTEC and @psdavidson. Onwards with the Hellcat. Ignition harness sprayed XF 88 Dark Yellow. Also the intake grill had a bit of Aluminium dabbed on it. Re primed the seams that needed attention. Still a wee one but I am ok with that. Simon.
  4. Thanks Alistair, I am glad that you liked it, it was a hard task to follow your build. Simon.
  5. Cheers Alistair, your build gave the inspiration to keep going, and she a lovely kit to build. too. Simon.
  6. Cheers lads, she is done at last. Thanks, you are not to far wrong there Thom, I am going to have to put some shelves up soon. Simon.
  7. Thank you lads for the comments, very much appreciated indeed. Thanks @cobraleader, @CJP, @Lord Riot, @Biggles87, @amos brierley, @Hamden, @giemme, @shortCummins, and @Thom216. Well she is done and dusted apart from the crew who are down the mess getting bladdered. Here is a couple of pics, the rest are in RFI. A big thanks to all those who took time to comment/like, all very much welcome and appreciated. Simon.
  8. When I first saw this kit previewed on the net over a year ago I said I want it!!! And I was very happy with it, hats off to Airfix for this one, great kit, well thought out construction and well fitting parts too. It took me just under three months to build and it was time enjoyed. I would like to thank all those who followed, commented and liked on the WIP. Paints: Tamiya, Mr Hobby, Alcad2. Varnish: W&N Galeria. Filler: Hardly none. Thank you for looking. Simon.
  9. She looks absolutely wonderful Chris. So much detail being added to bring her to life. Simon.
  10. Go for it Alex, the wing fold mech is pretty substantial. Simon.
  11. Thanks @AliGauld, @Hamden, @Thom216, and @bigbadbadge. Aerial and arrestor hook left to add but they can wait until tomorrow but here is some pics. I will take the pics for RFI in the morning under natural light. Simon.
  12. Cheers lads, nearly done... Very close Colin, very close indeed. Yep, nearly done sir. Thanks @coneheadff, @Biggles87, @cobraleader, @Thom216, @amos brierley, @giemme, @Hamden. Last bit painted and decaled and varnished. I should RFI her tonight. Simon.
  13. Thanks Rory, Alistair and Ernest, I looked at the other markings and they did nothing for me. Thank you for the offer but I have decided to use the kits one. I am not one for total accuracy, if it goes together well enough that good for me. Thanks @ruudster, @javlin, @giemme. @GREG DESTEC, @Bob C., @psdavidson, @Hamden and @cobraleader. Well, life got in the way again but back to it today. Buttoned up after a struggle. Primer on. Some seam work to do there but not to much. P.E. primed for the last few bits. Just the underneath to prime, and the landing gear etc. Keep dry. Simon.
  14. All looking good Alistair. As for the bloody weather, it has been the same down South mate. Simon.
  15. A man walked into a bar on a slow night and sat down. After a few minutes, the bartender asked him if he wanted a drink. He replied, "No thanks. I don't drink. I tried it once, but I didn't like it." So the bartender said, "Well, would you like a cigarette?" But the man said, "No thanks. I don't smoke. I tried it once, but I didn't like it." The bartender asked him if he'd like to play a game of pool, and again the man said, "No thanks. I don't like pool. I tried it once, but I didn't like it. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't be here at all, but I'm waiting for my son." The bartender said, "Your only son, I'm guessing." Simon.
  16. No rush Roger, there is more pressing and important matters to contend with at the moment. Take care and don`t get to stressed mate. Simon.
  17. A hospital posted a notice in the nurses' mess saying: "Remember, the first five minutes of a human being's life are the most dangerous." Underneath, a nurse had written: "The last five are pretty risky, too." Simon.
  18. Cheers lads, it`s not so complex as the "Goose" . Thanks @ModelingEdmontonian, @psdavidson, @CH-53D, @cobraleader and @ruudster. Well easy is it? A calamity to start with. The left hand I.P. panel went to the great carpet monster after pinging off never to be seen again. Luckily the kit comes with decal options for the panel. I also added the right hand decal to the console. Canopies masked up ready. Engine together awaiting the ignition harness and reduction gear. Cockpit completed apart from a splash of matt varnish. Oh, I forgot, I am doing this version. With shark mouth... I may be able to get some more done tomorrow afternoon, depends on life. Simon.
  19. Chocolate Hobnobs!!!, my word we are going to live it up .. Right folks, on with this show. I primed a lot of bits this morning and laid down some Cockpit Green and Semi Gloss Grey. Wheels primed. And prop. Engine given a coat of XF 16 Flat Aluminum. Before detail painting and adding P.E. Lap straps added, the shoulder ones will go on later. And wings glued together. I am happy with the progress so far. Simon.
  20. Excellent work Giorgio, just finishes the office off well. As for the canopy? your call. Simon.
