This looks excellent! Dang, those are some serious weights you added! 😱 -
Westland Whirlwind (slightly bigger)

That's looking very good! Particularly that wing surgery Bravo! Trumpeter and Hobby Boss are nothing if not inconsistent. Their 1/48 A-6 is still best, I preferred their 1/48 F4F over Tamiya's, but I haven't seen Eduard's. Their 1/48 F-14 is still on the Shelf of Doom waiting for me to get over the trauma of that horrible intake trunk construction and the poor fit of all those removable panels, deployable flaps and slats. Tamiya's siren song does pull strongly at times. Amd well, 1/48 LCM-3 has a boatload of just made-up details. -
Classic Airframes 1/48 Grumman JF4-1 Widgeon

It's been a minute. @modelling minion, @marvinneko, @81-er, and @Courageous, thank you for the suggestions. It turned out that shaking it worked sufficiently well. I decided to push them all in, shake them all out, and then reshape the clear plastic to fit from the outside. In the end, I got very good at shaking the clear bits out. At least they're now somewhat consistent. As noted, and mostly out-of-sight anyway. After that fun, I primed it with Mr.Finishing Surfacer 1500 Grey and set about to fix the several defects. Finally, I re-primed with Mr.Finishing Surfacer 1500 White in preparation for the yellow wing upper surface. I found a couple of areas that need a little more work, but I think I can the base yellow and silver on RSN. Thanks for looking. -
It's clearly a very large cabinet, even if it won't fit q Mosquito! 😱

Dang Was this a standard a special LOT mod? I have a Ju52 with the intent to make it into SP-AKX, which used Pegasus engines and 3-blade props.

Kenworth 963 Super 1/24 scale
dnl42 replied to Stickframe's topic in Ready For Inspection - Vehicles
That is truly magnificent! I followed the build, yet some of these photos had me wondering if you had added some 1:1 shots. Dang! -
Ooh, can this be built in Polish LOT livery?

Ooh, a Lotus Elan +2! Love the red color. I had a blue '72 (?) Elan +2S. She was quick and the low ride made it feel must faster than it was. Sweet ride, but a lot of maintenance.

This is coming along wonderfully! An engine-turned dash could be interesting...

HMS Havock 1893 - A class Torpedo Boat Destroyer
dnl42 replied to Steve D's topic in Work in Progress - Maritime
FWIW, your phone might has a "food" mode that does something like that. On my phone, this mode provides a resize-able rectangular focus area. Of course, the problem with this is your original photo is modified, vs. post processing a copy. -
1930 Austin Seven special. 1/10th scale.
dnl42 replied to Austin 7 model's topic in Work In Progress - Vehicles
A larger resistor will definitely dim the LED, but it wont change the color. You might try an RGB LED so you can dial in a little yellow. I you're going to work with LEDs more often, you might be interested in a Velleman LED Buddy kit. It allows you to test various voltage-resistance combinations to see what gets you the best light. TBH, it won't help with figuring out an RGB color as it need three inputs to produce a blended color. -
Cessna O-2A 'Skymaster'. 1/48 ICM kit.
dnl42 replied to Neil's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
That looks outstanding! -
I'm glad you mentioned that, as I had heard about that as an old(?) jeweler's trick. I really should learn to do this too as most of the parts that fall are due to my hotdog fingers. Sadly, this may not help so much for tweezers launch events.

Very nicely detailed. As to be expected, the decals are yellowed. Here are some of the motor parts The rubber-band tracks are actually valid for the M3 and derivatives. The full album is here HTH -- dnl.
