Thanks all! I think the hardest part of the build was the week of applying masks to the kit, 20 minutes of painting and another half day removing masks! I do used, but can’t remember the maker, a 3D printed tailpipe which was a lot nicer than the kit component and a perfect fit.

Nicely done!

A very nice kit, built mostly from the box A fun kit, with imaginary markings Thanks for looking

Thanks guys, I can’t take much credit, it’s a great kit. All I did was add glue and paint

Hi men here's my attempt at Italeri's 1/32 Tornado. A great kit in my opinion and very nice build with no issues on my build. Thank you for looking

Beautiful job i remember seeing one of these on floats back in the 1970’s, been a desire to build one like that for many years…just rekindled now!

A Q-400 was a dream of mine as well but after much research, information gathering, measurements and thinking about it, I realized I’d have been closer starting that conversion with a 1/48 spitfire than the Hobbycraft Dash 8-100. I got close to what I wanted here but I’m sure better modellers could do a more accurate job of it than I have

A great kit by a mediocre builder. a tribute to Revell's molding, it took a little under 2 weeks from tear the lid off the box to this. Thanks for looking

Awesome and beautiful at the same time!

Thanks mates! The color scheme is a bit intimidating and I had trouble getting the masks back off after painting. Some of the masks left glue residue (removed with super glue accelerator) some masks lifted paint (possibly my fault with the way I applied the paint??) some didn't lay down tightly allowing paint to bleed under so all in all a few issues there. Very happy to have finally completed the model, which likely would never have happened without a group build and the Foxbot paint option which made the project a lot more interesting.

Started shortly after purchasing many years ago when still a new release...around 2009? Lost a few parts between house moves and finally finished a few weeks ago. Rescast exhausts, Aerobonus seated pilots, Zacto intakes and pylons, Foxbot digital camouflage masks. Painted with Vallejo and Tamiya acrylics and stuck on a airliner kit stand. I've picked my team... Sorry about the tail of the Airbus in the last pic... As usual I strive for mediocrity, don't look to closely. Thank you for looking

That’s freakin awesome!!

thanks mates and thanks for looking

V-1 Decals, Tamiya acrylics, a bit of bare metal foil and some Molotow chrome pen. A very nice kit and great distraction from life as it is today. Thank you for looking

Very nicely done!

Well done!

Thank you very much for kind comments mates

Thanks guys hi Ray I did a build thread where I mostly post now, a modellers site for “Large Scale Planes” in the none LSP builds. But to make the conversion, I made a mold form, (cause the kit is so rare now) poured a resin copy of the kit fuselage, cut the resin fuselage into the lengths I needed for the plugs then (the hard part) worked up the nerve and cut the kit fuselage in 2 places, one in front of the wing the other behind it then just lay the model down on my plan (like a balsa kit) and fitted the plugs (to the gaps) I taped the other side of the existing kit to my lengthened part and matched the plugs to it (trying to keep it all aligned that way) I also added span to the wing tips and between the engine and fuselage, cut open the cockpit windshield and made my own windows from left over blister pack acetate sheet ….aaannnd Reskit 1/72 F 16 wheels the markings are Nazca for the stencilling and, V-1 for the Air Canada specific stuff thanks to all who stopped for a look and commented

Something I've been monkeying with the last couple of weeks Hobbycraft Canada (a very old kit) 1/72 -8/100 kinda converted to a 300 It is kind of crude in a few spots but it does look like a -8 300...maybe? Hope you like it Thanks for looking

That’s Vallejo water based putty, smoothed out with a damp finger and a quick blast of Tamiya acrylic gloss white thanks!

Out of the box with decals from a CL-215 with the reg. changed from C-FAFO to C-FAFQ as always, striving for mediocrity Thanks for looking

Done! Nowhere near perfect but that's the way I roll... I should put these on RFI I guess.

True, before I primed and painted the model i could see the yellow plastic glowing in the dark across the hall from the bedroom at night.

I have added most of the decals I'm going to use, to be honest the Revell kit decals are junk! they're out of register and made of... cardboard. I struggled my way through getting some in place but the multi colored ones failed me and almost got the whole project pitched into the garbage. A walk away and a cup of coffee sorted out the mood and I pulled off the Revell decals, masked and painted the important ones (others will be left off) the Heller Saskatchewan decals given me by a friend who wasn't using them worked perfectly. Rant over back to building Thanks for looking

Good progress! Well done. Will be nice to see it come together when I worked at the local airport here there were about 20 F 28’s next door for many years, the last few years there’s been a loader and digger destroying them all (“Canadian Regional” surplus I guess) I doubt any of them were still airworthy by their appearance. pulling up a chair for the build.
