    She's lovely I'm not normally a fan of of jet aircraft but she's just simply lovely I was born October 73 so funny to think she was flying the day I was born lol

    Thank you for the comments I know I could of researched the weathering but as it was a bit of a learning model I winged it next one will be fun as it's a conceptual aircraft with no real photos available lol. Funnily enough I'm also building a 1/24 hurricane for fun and to try something not in 1/72 as normal. All in all though I really enjoyed building this one and learned a lot so all good stuff Thanks again

    Hi all, This is my third model since restarting this hobby and I've thoroughly enjoyed this new tool Messerschmitt. Had a couple of "oh dear" moments but learned a few things. She's hand painted in Humbrol Enamels and I've attempted weathering for the first time so while not perfect I did learn a few bits along the way. Also the first time I did an Aerial so go me Anyhow .... if anyone has any good advice on how to do Exhaust weathering please let me know ... I found it hard Thanks for looking

    Thank you for the update I'm still new to modelling but wanted to try something new in building this and appreciate the updates.

    Looking good so far and I've started building mine as well. Was hoping you'd got a bit further by now and thanks for the tip about holding the pin in place with the additional sprue Had loads of cleaning up to do with the moulding which is nothing short of terrible !!!! If my engine looks half as good as yours I'll be a happy man

    Impressive build Love the finish I've got a P-40 on the go in 1/72 and it's been nothing but trouble to the point it's almost been in the bin twice.

    Wondering if going from 1/72 models to a 1/24 is biting off more than I can chew :(

      No problem. The hard part is going back to 1/72 afterwards :o

    Gobsmackingly beautiful example of one of my top three planes How long did it take from start to finish ? And how much of that time was the weathering ? Just curious as it's so well done and I'm new back at modelling hence the curiosity

    Aside from her minor imperfections I think she's a lovely build I've got one in my stash I'm dying to build and hope mine turns out as well. Guessing this was quite the learning curve Lovely

    Wow ... really nicely made and loving the finish on both. Can I ask how you did the squiggle patterning ? I have one in my stash that needs a similar paintjob
  11. stoutdave
    Do these brushes all paint enamels ? And does anyone have a link to some of the brushes ? I'm confused by a lot of the terminology being banded about
  12. stoutdave
    See what you mean about the canopy !! She's a lovely hand painted aeroplane. Nicely done

    Just checked my 245 .... I see the same thing. The lid has a greenish tint to it but out in the sunlight it still didn't take on a greenish tint. I'm in agreement here that it ain't what it says on the tin Could use a good replacement enamel paint if there's a good one

    Thanks guys ... Mike I really tried to keep these brushes in clean tip top condition but they did indeed just decide to rapidly give up the ghost. I know I should buy some better brushes so thanks for for the pointer. I'll get some of these ordered

    My other half very kindly bought me some Vulcan winter raffle tickets. Just wanted to wish anyone else that bought some the best of luck http://www.vulcanxh558raffle.co.uk/ This would be amazing
  16. stoutdave
    Can anyone recommend some really good fine detail brushes ? These humbrol ones have fanned out at the ends after only a few uses and I could use something more reliable ? Ta for looking

    I just bought a 1/24 hurricane from Debenhams for half price and if I can make it look half as good as this I'll be happy. Minor comments aside I'd be over the moon with a finish like that. Well done She's a beauty I have a question ..... how do you get the rivet / panel lines to show through the decals so clearly ?
  18. stoutdave
    Really lovely finish there The colours look spot on to a real life provost and you got the weathering down pat. Love it
  19. stoutdave
    Cheers for the pointer .. think there's a missing market here but I'll go with the old kit route Happy with that
  20. stoutdave
    And for the keen of eye i lost a part or two

    Is it possible to find blank pieces of plastic to practice finishes on ? If so where ?
  22. stoutdave
    I've been looking at pro-markers available in hobbycraft. They're blendable and assuming they are not too hard to blend I think I can make them work over the top of the base darker colour. Just need some plastic to try it out on As for the model ..... it's not my next build but i'm looking to do it soon
  23. stoutdave
    Absolutely stunning She's amazing

    After a winter break moving the house around I've completed my second build since coming back to modelling. A lot of lessons learned on this one !!!!! Had several stickers fold over on me and split / break but i've finally finished this after months of trying to find the time.

    Hi, I don't have any fancy airbrushes and paint by hand at the moment so wondered if anyone has any experience in painting models by hand and producing decent finishes with a pattern like this one below ? I'm stumped on how to begin but want to have a crack at it as I have the two models below in my stash waiting to be completed. Thanks in advance
