That's impressive!!! Thanks for sharing.

You did a GREAT job on this one!

Thanks for hosting this GB! Congrats to everyone who managed to finish in time... and everyone else who did their best 😉

What a nice subject! Will follow along.

Thank you guys! The build itself is done (pictures to follow) but since I wanted to prime the model before painting and the primer usually needs a night of curring, I'm not sure this is going to end in time Maybe I can give up on the priming and be careful with post-paint masking...🤨

A few hours later...

Hey, Although time and my slowliness are very limiting factors in this GB, I decided to [cheap maxims mode on] try and fail rather than fail trying [cheap maxims mode off]. The candidate in focus here is the 2006 Revell 1:144 scale Tornado ECR. A marvelous little kit that was on sale yesterday in the only shop selling scale model kits in my area. Here is the mandatory opening picture from this morning showing proof of date and the unstarted kit: ...and here the content of the box:

Thanks Pat for the answer! I was asking because I'm not sure I'll be able to finish the build until Monday evening so I'm also considering it for the Less Than a Tenner GB.

This one comes with perfect timing. I was about to start a quick build as a break from the main build this weekend. Thanks for organizing it! Sorry if I missed this information but are we allowed to post the same subject in two group builds? Thanks, Cristian

This is great! Thanks for sharing!

Matching paint and decal colours seems fun to do The split cockpit glazing equally so... After having seen one in flesh in a museum, this was a must build but this scheme scares me off a bit, to be honest...

Very nice build and equaly creative photography! Congrats!

I wonder if there is enough place for small DC motors (6mm diameter, 10mm length) to fit in the engine bays... Would make a nice "functional" model.

Any news on this one? I remember there was a test build shown several months ago...

The number of "grooves" is different. This is why I thought they were different sizes.

So the left one is the 0.2 nozzle and the right one the 0.4? That does look not OK indeed. I usually spray half a cup of airbrush cleaner before disassembly and never had any problems with stuck parts. Then again, I tend not to leave paint in the brush for too long after I finish spraying.

They still seem rather hard to get so you might have bought too many Jokes aside, have you built one already?

No worries about hijacking the thread! That needle seems to go way too far, indeed. At least compared to my Evolution.

From the description I would try replacing the nozzle cap seal, as well. But first make sure the cap seal is sitting correctly and that the cap itself is tightened correctly.

Did anyone actually got around building this kit? How large will it be once finished? Also, is this a good model for a ship newbie? Thanks! Cristian

Update: the 0.4mm nozzle arrived and works like a charm. Thanks again for the hints! Cheers, Cristian

Thank you for the hints gentlemen! It appears to be a bent needle indeed. I rolled it on a hard, even surface and I can see the tip moving up and down. The bend itself is strangely located some 3-4cm from the tip which makes it hard to explain. I was planning on getting a 0.4 nozzle/needle anyway so time for that is now Thanks again! Cristian

Hello, I have the following problem with my Harder & Steenbeck Evolution Silverline using the 0.2mm nozzle: When the air cap and the nozzle are on and tightened, I only have a small amount of air coming out the airbrush which is merely enough to splatter some paint out. Once the air cap is slightly untightened, there is "plopp" sound like one of the seals is releasing or untightening (in the lack of a better word) and then air starts flowing at the expected rate through the nozzle (and also back to the paint cup). The air pressure is set to 20 psi which is higher than the normally used 10-15 psi. This happens with paint, plain water and airbrush cleaner, all the same. What I tried so far was: clean the airbrush (nozzle interior, nozzle seals, air cap) try water and airbrush cleaner increase the air pressure even more inspect the nozzle and nozzle seal My (uneducated) guess would be a problem with the nozzle seal since I noticed a darker (paint?) rim around it and what might be a slight deformation on one side. However, cleaning it thoroughly was not bringing any change. The problem started all of a sudden with no pre-warning after having the brush sit unused for several weeks. Any suggestions you might have as of what might be the root cause are more than welcome! Many thanks in advance! Have a great day! Cristian

Nice build! May i ask where did you got the engine color references from? None of the kits currently on the market seem to have color callouts and Google is not much of a help either. Thanks!

Niiiice!!!
