[Danger Zone - Topgun or F-14 GB for 2018]

I think you need to have a read of this LINK if your thinking of an F-15 STGB

You will probably stand a better chance of getting a Topgun GB in 2017 should it get through the voting.

Thank's both.

Cliff, it wasn't I've masked and sprayed the inner surface with Tamiya Clear Blue

[1:32 French Naval Lynx]

Thanks Colin,

Well got a little more done today, mainly little bits and bobs and masking ready for spraying.

[1:32 French Naval Lynx]

Thanks guys,

More tomorrow.

Finally found time to get back to the bench and crack on with the Lynx. Made some good progress today.

More tomorrow

[Changing scope of GBs AFTER they have been voted through]

I now take a back seat in the organizing and running of the GBs so I'm a bit confused. Which GBs are you referring to and what were the changes? Can you please give some specific examples?

Without an example, I can only generalise. GBs almost take on a life of their own and do evolve. If as you say the scope changed, did you challenge the proposed change? Did you alert Enzo to the change? Nothing can be done if the Mods don't know there is a problem.

Oh got a Tamia 1:48 Jagdpanzer, with PE, turned barrel, metal tracks and brass shells and casings. Have been looking for an excuse to build it.

I also want to get a 1:35 model as well... This could be the opportunity to build one or both.

Thanks Guys

Splendid work on the paint job and weathering. In a couple of your photos it gives the same kind of slightly bleached colouring you see in contemporary colour photos from the 40s, which adds to the authentic note.

The camo masks are something I'll look into myself given your excellent results with them. I'll have to experiment with some rouge and blusher on my next build as well, seeing how well you did with the eye shadow here...

Nice one,

Tony

Thanks, Tony AK Interactive paints are 'scaled' to give a realistic colour effect. Please do have a look at TopNotch's Website as they have recently extended their range of masks if you have a look at my Blog you will see a review on the masks and you will find a generous discount code to use on TopNotch's website

Thanks Cliff

[1:32 Revell Spitfire]

Glad you like it Keith and thanks.

More progress on the 1:32 Revell Lynx today, This is the Royal Navy HAS.3 which I'm converting to a French Navy Lynx.

Got to take some of the wash off of the rear bulkheads and fit the centre seats.

[1:32 Revell Spitfire]

Thanks you both

Splendid Spit! Looks really good.

May I enquire - which paints did you use... I saw AK, but which numbers specifically?

AK 2011 & 2012 for the RAF Dark Green and RAF Dark Earth and AK2015 for the RAF Sky

[1:32 Revell Spitfire]

Thank you both

Lovely work Peter

Finally finished my Wings Cockpit Figures pilot finished for the Spitfire, my painting of it is not as good as I would have liked but it will look okay from normal viewing distance.

Hi Mish,that's a great looking dio. & the figure is the icing on the cake!.......can you tell me where you got it?.....I think I can make use of him.

You have to email David for a price list, he doesn't do any on-line sales as he is a very small concern. However his figures and service are second to none.

[Group build Idea's]

Just throwing out some GB idea's for the possible future.

1 Malta campaign - German, British, Italian. Lots of "stuff".

2 Soviet aircraft in foreign markings - Polikapov I15,16 in Spanish markings to SU27 Ethiopian. Big selection of subjects.

3 The Secret war -( Vietnam side show) - Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Air America, Ravens. Very cool!!

Hope everyone approves.

1. is covered by the MTO GB which is later this year

2. Last done in 2011 so could be revisited

3. Never been done to the best of my knowledge

[WWII German Aircraft hardstanding]

Thanks Guys,

Sean the base is about 8" x 8" You can't quite fit a 'normal' sizes WWII fighter in 1:32 on 6" x 6" But I'm sure some there is some there is something that would work.

[WWII German Aircraft hardstanding]

Thanks all,

Sadly there are only so many hours for model making per week. Concentration on having models ready for the East of England Show next Sunday.

[WWII German Aircraft hardstanding]

I needed a base for my recently completed 1:32 Bf 109G-10. Having an old plain base of a suitable size I decided to make it look authentic for late 1944 - Early 1945

So with some Coffee Stirring sticks from Macy D's and some Citadel grass Scatter, plus a few washes and pigments, I cam up with this:

And with the 109 on it

Technically it's not finished yes as I still have a figure to paint and add but here is what it should look like

Thanks for looking.

[1:32 French Naval Lynx]

It ain't going to happen

[Mr Paint Mini Review]

Mr. Paint kindly sent me some of their paints for review which I have done on my blog and Facebook page Mish's Models
