    Interesting. They haven't shipped the pre-orders yet so I'm surprised the status has been changed.

    That turned out really nicely and the ground crew really adds to it. Kudos!

    Paint and decals are coming along now. I finished the canvas areas in semi-gloss and left the wood areas gloss. The PC-10 still looks a bit shiny to me so it may yet get a coat of clear matt. I also decided to go with a BSG painted finish on the cowling rather than aluminium as I reckoned that seemed more in keeping with the photos I've seen. I've painted up the next batch of small parts that'll be needed and the plan is to complete as much detailing and pre-rigging as possible before fitting the top wing. Undercarriage and prop will be fitted last to minimise the chances of accidental damage.

    looking good John!

    I'm curious as to how the transition point between brown and green is going to look with what is basically a translucent top coat. Looking forward to seeing it with the green added but so far it looks great!

    Maybe they just had fewer of those decals sets available and there won't be enough to feed all their retailers? There's definitely some very striking liveries in that particular boxing.

    Looks like boxings with their add on decal sheets. There's a couple there that I've wanted to build so this is one happy bunny about this offering.

    That pilot is going to need some 1/72 flies in his teeth!

    My first kit was an Airfix Skyhawk in a bag. I still have a soft spot for them so will keep tabs with your build!

    HaHaHa, that payload is awesome! 🤩
  11. Howlindawg
    I'll be all over that one when it's released. It's not like building a replica of his kite is an homage to the man. I'm not sure about the snipe.... but probably will knowing me.

    My initial thought was that you could split the centre lower wing section, add some holes and pinsfor strength, and slide them into the slots to re-join internally. But upon inspection of the part there's really not a lot of meat there to effect a strong pinned joint. Could you replace the parts that go through the fuselage entirely with brass tube?
  13. Howlindawg
    Wow, that's a beauty!

    The 1/72 Eduards build up really nicely. I've a few in the stash to see me through the winter nights. You probably don't need structural rigging, EZ line would do, but seeing as how you've already started drilling I'm guessing you're after the practice? Good luck with the build!

    Those engines look fantastic. You're really dragging this dinosaur bang up to date. 👏
  16. Howlindawg
    That is one stubborn kit... but it looks like you have the measure of it. Fingers crossed for the paintwork. 😬

    My daughter has been a little under the weather so we've progressed her little egg plane to the point where she can decal it while I'm doing the Camel. I heartily recommend these for anyone with a 6-8 year old who wants to give a build a go. There's not too many parts, it goes together easily and it's robust enough to handle a bit of clumsiness. In fact, the only breakage we've had was down to me! 😖 This scheme was particularly suitable as there was minimal masking involved, most parts being just a single colour.

    I love all the activity around the aircraft - it's positively bustling. How big is the overall diorama? I tip my hat sir, very well executed indeed!
  19. Howlindawg
    Thanks Clive. Hopefully I can start making some decent progress on it now.

    Well it's taken a few tries but I'm finally happy enough with the paint. Couldn't resist a little mock up with the engine cowl and stabilisers in place. 2019-09-08 16.34.58-1 by Martin Fay, on Flickr 2019-09-08 16.35.54-1 by Martin Fay, on Flickr 2019-09-08 16.36.32-1 by Martin Fay, on Flickr Time to push on with it now - Gloss and decals next.

    Looks like a hoot to build. I'm pondering whether the same idea could be made to work with egg-planes... 🥴
