1/72 Airfix Bristol F2B Brisfit
Horatio Gruntfuttock replied to gamevender's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Such a nice scheme and well-executed as well. Great to see your rigging go on so well. -
ESCI 1/72 Quad and 25 Pdr.
Horatio Gruntfuttock replied to gamevender's topic in Ready for Inspection - Armour
Very nice result in that scale - nice details and finish. Well done! Its a pity that this kit is so expensive down here in Oz, usually over $35. -
I am not an airliner modeller as my skills have never included getting a seam-free and curved upper fuselage finish but it appears to me that the decals look fabulous in 1/144 as they appear to include curtains/blinds in different positions to mimic the real thing. As for the problem with bubbles in clear resin the simplest 'solution' in most cases is vibrate the fuselage either mechanically by placing it on a vibrating object () or gently and repeatedly tapping it to ease the bubbles out of the resin. Works a treat when I mould my own solid resin pieces. Hope that helps.

Marcel-Bloch MB-200 (Smer 1/72)
Horatio Gruntfuttock replied to AC87's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Lovely job and it might inspire me to pull my kit out of the stash or doom! Well done. I assume the interior is painted the then-standard, chamois?? -

Beagle Basset 206
Horatio Gruntfuttock replied to bigbadbadge's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Very nice little Basset, and I am delighted to see that Lord Airfix has made sure that the transparencies are a much better fit than in their first iteration of this kit. One I must look out for as I have already built two of the old ones which fought me all the way with those poor clear bits. Well done. -

Horatio Gruntfuttock replied to Alan P's topic in Aviation Chat
For me its a decent 1/72 RE8 - surely one is due soon to replace the Airfix monster. For me its a decent 1/72 RE8 - surely one is due soon to replace the Airfix monster. -
1/32 Short Bristow Crusader - finished!
Horatio Gruntfuttock replied to Malc2's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
That is just gorgeous and inspires me to attempt to complete my Karaya 1/72 one which stalled a few years back when I discovered a few spots on the wings in which the resin had not cured properly so that no paint ever attaches itself to despite numerous attempts. I am going to scratch a pair of wings in plastic-card. Thank you for explaining so clearly your construction - much appreciated.- 100 replies

Brilliant progress Ian and I am delighted to see the work you have done since we discussed your efforts at APMA back in July - this should look just fabulous when finished. -
Scratchbuilt 1/72 1916 Bristol TTA

Airfix 1/72nd Vickers Wellington MkIC

Lovely, lovely clean build - well done. -
Vickers Valiant
Horatio Gruntfuttock replied to aerotechi's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Very handsome replica - well done achieving such a good all-white finish, so difficult to get right. -
That is a splendid little replica, well done and I have not found those issues with Croco's models. I have just completed the Croco Miles M8 Peregrine and it was a great little kit - fitted perfectly, no bubbles, no broken parts and looks the part, but you need to look at AMWS ( Another Modelling Web Site) to see it as I am put off by the complicated manner of displaying photos on BM, although I love looking at everyone's work and always post positively when I do.

Looks bl***y fantastic Ian - great to come back to see the process, as well as being able to see it "in the plastic" last weekend. Well done again and thanks for the step-by-steps. Now for a Deperdussin!!

Wellsprop Fairey III F. 1/48th 3D printed.
Horatio Gruntfuttock replied to Britman's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
That really is a great job ob an aircraft that should be more widely available as an injected kit. I have recently completed the Esoteric IIID and yours looks much better than mine. We need a great number of kits of aeroplanes from the 1930s!! Come on Kit manufacturers! -
Novo Gloster Javelin 1/72
Horatio Gruntfuttock replied to Mark4700's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
You have certainly done the old girl proud - great re-scribing and finishing. Now, as a 60sqn 'Flying Flat Iron' , was this the one that 'accidentally' shot down the Indonesian Herc??
