Love the smell of melted plastic in the morning.... Spru stretching. Gone a bit finer this time so I'm hoping they just snap when I hit them with the hair dryer to straiten them a bit more. -

The prop doesn't look to bad once fitted so I didn't bother repainting it, so wings on as well now, time to flip it over and fit the wheels. I will probably tone down the pink for this one. -

Hi Bob, It was a bit ruff at times with lock down etc but doing even better now just landed a proper job again working for the sleep charity, going to head of there commissioning services, so all good. As for the prop I king of winged it , base colour of pale earth them using a fine brush I did the lines using brick red, them over those with a dark red/brown to widen and fade the edges, then I thinned the red/brown and did the same again, until I was happy with the look, I might have done a sepia wash on top and gloss to finish. All the best Brian. -

So after a bit a sci-fi kit bash I'm back these two little planes, the second one seems to be coming together a lot better than the first and I'm a lot happier with the overall look of it so far. I did lift the two gun so they are a little more visible once the upper wing goes on, not strictly as per it would look in the real work but at least I can see my work once finished. -
But late but I used to order regularly from banzaihobby.com and Plazajapan, never got stung for charges when the total cost ( kit and postage) was under £30, not sure why but anything that was alsways a gamble and anything over around 40-45 would generally get the extra charges. Both great companies and will deal with again when funds allow.

Thank you. Thank you. Shitting my self about actually doing it now..... Anyway back to making models and this one now has its decals on, I think I want to add another colour to it somewhere, maybe the wings to brake up the blue, then just the odd bit of detail paint to add. image upload free
