1/48th F3H-2 Demon - VF-31 "Tomcatters"
FAAFAN replied to trickyrich's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Awesome job! I love 50's and 60's Naval aviation subjects, and yours is great. I enjoyed building mine a few years ago- great builder's kit. -
HASEGAWA 1/48 AICHI B7A2 "GRACE"
FAAFAN replied to Mr.lin's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
I built this kit last year, and found it to be a real pleasure, as well an aesthetically pleasing design. This is one you don't see a lot of but is surely one of their best kits. You did a great job representing the faded paint and wear. Thanks for sharing. -
ICM Ki-21 1b 1/48th 14th Hiko Sentai
FAAFAN replied to Zigomar's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Awesome job. Thanks for the photos. -
From the looks of your brush painted finish, it looks smooth and even, can't see brush strokes, strange for a natural metal paint. It all looks great.

DYNAVECTOR GANNET photos updated & wheel chocs
FAAFAN replied to CJP's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Outstanding job on the Gannett. Dynavector manufactured some great kits to fit a niche. I built their Sea Vixen and Scimitar, but opted for the Classic Airframes Gannett. Looking forward to the Airfix offering. Your Alize looks great too- I have one sitting in a box, waiting... -
Trumpeter 1:48 Supermarine Seafang
FAAFAN replied to Windz's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Seafang was a too-little, too-late design, which did not detract from it's aesthetics. I really like the what if Suez scheme!- 12 replies

Great job. One of my phavorite Phantom variants. You did a great job with the shading and weathering too. FLY NAVY!

Fully detailed interior, right? LOL

Interesting natural metal work. My Korean War Invader is next up on the table. -
Fairey Gannet AEW3 849NAS on board Ark Royal, 1/72 Sword
FAAFAN replied to Massimo's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Gannet AEW is one of my all time favorite aircraft, and you have done this one proud! Congrats on the wing fold and the weathering, both done convincingly. -
1/48 Airfix English Electric Lightning F.1
FAAFAN replied to Jordan Giddins's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
I am in awe of the finish. Love the dirtying up of the metallic surface. Well done. -
Thats a great "beat up" look. Excellent weathering and camo.
-
Awesome job!

Very nice! I saw a Lightning at a show at RAF Mildenhall in '68 or so. Fly to Air Show Center and stand on end, Full Afterburner and head straight up, just as you describe. That was probably the loudest aircraft I have ever heard, including the F-100s stationed at RAF Lakenheath at the time... Nice job of representing the Red Arrows in a WIF. The Lightning was raw power personified!

Safely Aboard: Airfix Buccaneer S. Mk 2C
FAAFAN replied to David H's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Well done! I built the old Airfix Bucc many years ago (both 1/72 and 1/48) and have them in my case. I have always wanted to do the early variant round intake Bucc in all white anti flash paint and a 2-tone scheme. Yours is nicely done and I appreciate the info on potential pitfalls in construction. -
Eduard`s new F4F-3 Wildcat in 1:48
FAAFAN replied to mathy's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Great job!!!!! Love the 2 tone weathering on the wing. What's your technique? -
1/48 Corsair II, 1836 NAS, HMS Victorious, 1945.
FAAFAN replied to DaveJL's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Great job! Nice blending of the topside paint colors. Thats a hard scheme to master at times. -
Airfix 1/48 Buccaneer S.2D (new tool)
FAAFAN replied to sniperUK's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Nice job on the finish. I beat the original into submission years ago and still have it in my collection. How is the interior on the new release? Is it more detailed than the original? -
Now I want a stash full of Corsairs to build! These are all superb jobs. I love the weathering detail. Agree about the blue on the last one, but it's all good- first of all, it's your model, so finish it the way you want to. Second, it looks great no matter what, nothing to be ashamed of there.
