Airfix 1:48 PR.9 Canberra 58 Squadron RAF Wyton
Sturmovik replied to Mikey-1980's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
Is the colour scheme of the Canberra the same as that on late mark Spitfires (dark green/ocean grey/medium grey)? -
I faced the same decal issue when I built Trumpeter's 32 Me 262, they were too brittle. But you got most of them down pretty nicely.

I love when difficult builds turn out great.
-
Great looking Zerstorer.
-
I do love some Luft 46 in the morning, you've made a nice looking model out of a very basic kit.

I'd love to have a Tamiya Spit or Bf 109 right now, they look like fun builds.

Airfix 1:48 PR.9 Canberra 58 Squadron RAF Wyton
Sturmovik replied to Mikey-1980's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
I knew someone else had to have this issue with Airfix's Canberra, it's also present on their B.20 model. Last time I built the model, I used tube glue and let it set for the night before adding weight to the model, it became really sturdy after that, and was able to withstand over 70g of lead weight. -
1:48 Tamiya Mk1 Supermarine Spitfire

In that case, much luck on this build, those two models look pretty, pretty sure the Spit I will come out alright. -

1:48 Tamiya Mk1 Supermarine Spitfire
Sturmovik replied to Gadget2012's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
I always think the same, but decalling comes really fast, especially for 48 fighters (as long as they aren't Eduard Profipack models). Proof are the photos above. You should also pair the Spit with a Bf 109E too in the future. -
1:48 Tamiya Mk1 Supermarine Spitfire
Sturmovik replied to Gadget2012's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
Tip for the future decalling, if you're going to use the kit's decals, make sure to soak them in hot water. -
That's true, I just learned yesterday that Airfix's 1:48 Bf 109 isn't done to have the flaps and slats in the up position, modeling is trial and error basically.
-
Don't want to be rude, but I actually liked the earlier camouflage more, other than that, the aircraft is looking great, I can't wait to see on its landing gear.

Where was the BoB exhibition moved to then?

Revell Mustang Mk III 1:48 instructions question
Sturmovik replied to Sturmovik's topic in Aircraft WWII
Some news: Warped fuselage halves without locating holes, ill fitting instrument panel, and vague piece location later, I've decided to not even bother with the kit and start an Airfix Bf 109E in 1:48. I'll keep the pieces and decals (I even received a spare sheet from Revell after I found the originals were damaged).- 6 replies

@Mike the conversion is still availble from Ultracast's website: https://www.ultracast.ca/product-p/mdc-mrbc32001.htm

Looks great with all that orange, great job!
-
I didn't find anything online, but perhaps your could ask someone who has Hobby Boss's Me 262A-2a/U2 boxing for the measures of the nose area, and then upscale it to 1:32.

I remember the last time I visited the museum, the Battle of Britain area was closed for renovations, I assume it's been reopened.
