  1. Great effort on your first attempt at this sort of kit! Well done! One of the few negatives about full interiors is feeling of guilt when most of it is hidden behind the armour.
  2. Lovely clean build! Well done! What was it like using the turnbuckles?
  3. The WnW method can be found here: http://www.wingnutwings.com/ww/hintsandtips
  4. Thank you so much! I did use the turnbuckles and eyelets supplied by the kit. I used twisted wire to attach turnbuckles to the plane as it allows them to move more freely, meaning they will nearly always be aligned with the rigging thread. I found this technique on another forum, though I forgot which one. It's definitely much, MUCH easier to rig this way rather than simply glueing thread to the plane without turnbuckles as you can use knots and loops along with super glue. As for the lozenge, I've heard that Eduard's decals are somewhat inaccurate, so that may explain the faded look. Plus, I'm still learning how to get decals down without trapping air bubbles. It'll be the last time I apply lozenge as one massive decal; I'll be using the WNW method next time.
  5. I've used the black and the grey, thinned with a bit of Mr Levelling Thinner, sprayed through my H&S Ultra with the 0.4mm needle and nozzle then cleaned out with Mig Cleaner and clean spirit. I can safely say that they are the finest primers I've ever used. Great product. The only issue is the cap: it tends to shoot out paint when you close it, then the paint runs all over your fingers.
  6. Good afternoon, My rendition of Bandai's First Order TIE Fighter in 1/72. On of the easiest kits I've ever built and painted. Weathering is almost non-existent as I assume that the First Order keep their TIEs in near pristine condition.
  7. Good afternoon, After a year of stops and starts (mainly due to the lozenge), I have finally finished my SSW D.III from Eduard with a Brassin engine. The only alteration made was the sanding away of the moulded on rib stitching and the large black area on the top wing where the lozenge decal come away on blue tac - making the markings a tad 'what-if'.
  8. A cowling with parts of entirely PE, interesting. I wonder if they will an early version at some point.
  9. For those who still want a WnW kit, Model Hobbies are now stocking them.
  10. One of the finest guides I've ever read! Thank you so much! I'll start looking for the paints.
  11. Good evening, I'll soon be starting my Airacobra in Soviet markings and I want to use Mig AMMO paints. Trouble is that I'm finding it hard finding the right colours from Mig. The paints I need are for the camouflage (olive drab and some form of grey), the cockpit, undercarriage and the flap interior. Can anyone come up with any close matches? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.
  12. Yay!! Another chibi tank! The Sherman is perfect this sought of thing, being rather round! Good work!
  13. If you specifically want 1/48, then I'm afraid that finding any WW1 tank in that scale will be nigh impossible, short of scratch-building one. The closest thing I can think of is 1/56 or 28mm if your willing to go for something a tad smaller. Try here for some ideas: http://www.landships.info/landships/kit_lists.html# https://store.warlordgames.com/collections/wwi Hope this helps.
  14. A stunning example! The missing spinner gives the model more character!
  15. Lovely weathering and tonal variation! Well done!
  16. Brilliant little Wildcat! Well done!
