very very tidy great job . one of the finest i have seen

Three great builds you have there . thanks for sharing,

I believe they have re-released the kit yea but as far as I know the wing tanks are he smaller ones and not right for the Irish one .

just a pic in natural light with no flash on the cam ...

thanks for your wonderful comment Luis, im in the middle of building one of our Irish spitfires (TR9) in all over green, should be finished and up on this in a week or so, also im in the middle of doing a curtis warhawk trying out new techniques like weathering which i never really done before but really enjoying the challenge, Thanks Again Dan

thanks for your comment , the masking tape i used bled a little hence the wiggly lines , the flash is a bit strong so IL take a few more pics in natural sunlight but i think its fine, , it is very thick i agree it doesn't come with the option to have the canopy open so its the standard canopy just cut up and there is no real way of making it a bit thinner without scratching it to bits any tips would be great .. Dan

New pics of the chip with the rest of it put together and the black around the nose fixed and straightened out ..

Just finished tonight My 1/72 Heller fouga, its made straight out of box (marks models special IAC decals ) except for the antenna, super kit to build great fun , used to see these doing the live firing many moons ago down at the range in Gormanston, and of course the display team the silver swallows, also a few WIP pics to start off with but enough blab, hope you enjoy , pics don't do it justice , comments are always welcome,

They go in and out of Dublin all the time and are really impressive to watch , I think you got this spot on , well done Dan

Really really nice, I like that a lot ,

Love the tomcat she's a beaut , great stuff

Brilliant ' looks great ' you would think it was bigger with the amount of detail you have on it '' superb build

beautiful work there , cracking work on the finish looks great well done

And its about time bro , looking forward to seeing how you get on with these they will look great in lingus colours and i will be watching with great interest ...

That's a fantastic looking helo , really enjoyed the pics , well done

Well done little bro on you'r first post ..

great job so far , will be watching with a keen eye as i need a few tips for my own ..

indeed it wasn't a great day for shooting at all i don't think the weather knew what to be doing really it was still a great show .. just the ole trusty NIKON Coolpix L810 not by far anyway near as big or as clear as those big lenses i have seen at airshows but it gets the job done ..

i realized that as soon as i posted it ... my mistake .. thanks for your comment ..

Just a few snaps from the Saturday display in Duxford from last weekend . first time posting in this section so please be nice lol ..

smashing build .. one of the best iv seen in a really long time ..

The critics are a good thing that's why we put stuff up on here to learn from others (tips and tricks) and you were spot on they are mobile pics on an old phone but i thought hey they will do but that's a great bit of info about the shirt over a box and i shall definitely give it a shot on my next (IAC pc9 ) again spot on they were enamel paints i used and as regards to the thickness of the paint i released that it looked very thick especially around the nose just after i had done it but as i said it was done really fast (few hours) and never though that i would end up putting it up here.. but she was mainly to try out the dayglo orange decals ( which i have come to despise ) much rather paint the area white then dayglo .. but you don't come across the little chipmunks with the canopy open very often so i thought id make a change . . but thanks for the comment , much appreciated Dan Cheers Val, i have a better one up in the attic somewhere must root it out and get it up .. have got one since just never got a chance to get the parts on

thank you robvulcan i have the parts now just haven't got around to putting them on yet but i will .. working on an a380 at the min so will get around to getting it 100% soon ..

Seeing as it is my first post on Britmodeller i thought i would start off with something close to home .. my little Airfix chipmunk ,built this a few years ago and only recently found the pics.. it's a great little kit to play about with as all of you know who built it .. mine's not as good as it could be but then again i put it together in a day .. as you can see the prop and exhaust are missing that's because the prop was in three bits and all twisted in the box when i got it and the exhaust was missing but not to bad for only 3 quid .. its straight OOB bar the two lads which were in the spares box so decided to put them to good use .. pics are not the best but hope you enjoy and of course comments welcome

hi wellsprop .. just a quick question looking at your really well built array of great models i have a particular interest in your Miss Demeanor hunter i seen her a few weeks back and have taking a shine to it ,, i was just wondering about the decals you used and how do i come across some ..i built the little tucano a while back and feel your pain but i have to say yours turned out great .. thanks again for sharing
