Finally, I closed the cockpit. https://i.ibb.co/2g0R1LD/IMG-20201017-184231.jpg[/img

I start the build by the cockpit, which is pretty nicely detailed. Now the noose gear bay, step two.

As soon as my A-10 is finished, I launch into another kit, an Eduard this time. The aircraft is a P-39. The kit, which is in four clusters, is well detailed, and allows many versions of the device to be made, too bad we do not have the appropriate decals for the other versions. The kit will be assembled out of the box and the decoration will probably be that of the box art. Maybe I'll touch the exhaust pipes and flaps, to see. Here are some pictures of the kit:

Thanks Lord Riot

I will display them next to the plane then. Thanks to the experts.

Thanks Neil.

A very small step forward which should be followed by a big one. I started the charges, and that's a big part of the kit if not at least half. We have plenty to do, missile bombs laser guided bombs pods tanks. I want to go up as much as possible while remaining a realistic minimum so I will find out whether, for example, asymmetrical configurations are possible or not, as on the F-105 for example.

Hello everyone, Here is the rear wing (dunno how this is called in English) assembly. Everything went pretty fine too as with the wings. Once again are the gaps pannel lines or gaps to fill good question I have to sort it out.

Good evening everyone. I started the build with the wings. They assemble well, without any concern, however, there are some joints that I have to figure out if they are pannel lines or joints to fill.

Hello everyone, While my Avenger is almost finished, I will edit a much more modern subject, the A-10. The kit I chose is the Hobby Boss, there are several options for this 1/48 aircraft, the old Revell, the Tamiya, the Italeri and the latest one the Hobby Boss. The box is impressive in size, the number of parts is significant, but ultimately, there will be a lot of loads to assemble. The armaments clusters are doubled. I am thinking of mounting all the loads from the kit and presenting them next to the plane, the same for the gun which is supplied complete. Without further do, photos of the kit:

Thanks y'all

Hello to all, I would like to mount a MiG 29 at 1/72 the SMT version, the GWH kit at 18 is still too expensive for me. I hesitate between the Zvezda and the Trumpeter, what are their differences, which one is the "best" knowing that I am looking for a simple kit to assemble, detailed with a lot of parts. Thanks for your help

Hello all, now the cockpit:

Hello to all, While the Mirage 2000 awaits its paintings, I attacked another kit, the TBF-1C Avenger from Hobby boss. It is a rather original subject which does not exist very little at 1/48 in the end apart from Accurate Miniatures. The kit is complete, beautiful, as much as the AM, I can not judge, I never had it in hand, I leave it to the experts. However, the kit has its shortcomings, such as many injection pads placed everywhere and especially in places that are difficult to access such as in the arming bay for example where this area is dotted with injection pads. Finally there is a little "flush" to eliminate on some parts too, and finally we would have liked more details on the side of the fuselage where we have the door of the aircraft. We will see how this kit is fitting, with its satisfactory level of detail. T he kit will be built out of the box with wings extended and flaps and door open. In terms of loadout, it will be those present on the boxart, tanks, rockets and bombs of 250 kg, that seems a bit much to me, I still leave it to the experts on this side. Finally I would like to add that HB is not very efficient when it comes to indicating the colors for painting the different parts of the kit, I had to go online to find how to paint the details of the cockpit to the extent that nothing is indicated. Now some pictures:

Thanks F-32 !

Hello everyone, the assembly has progressed well since the last time, the plane is finished, I broke the tail wheel but I was able to glue it back on, but the result leaves something to be desired, hence the lack of photos of this area. Aside from that, all that's missing is the tarp to hide the canopy and we're good!

Hello DNL actually this kit was a bit hard to build to me. But they did the whole series I guess, which is nice.

Thanks Amos, it has been painted since, pictures will come soon !

Thanks SAT69 !

Thanks y'all !

I've started this build five years ago, and i've only finished it today, I am glad that I could've saved this model. I just need to varnish it, I wanted it clean so I did not made a wash or gun fumes, on the next models i guess. I wanted to finish this kit quick to start a new one.

Thanks Werdna !

Thanks to both of you guys !

Here is the nearly finished kit. The kit is beautiful, but quite complex to build, i could not glue some parts at the exterior of the model because they were too tiny I will glue them later with gel super glue if i find some.

Three months later, I have a decent workshop and I managed to start to paint the kit. I choose a different decoration than the one provided in the box, too complex for a beginner like me so I decided to do a desert one. However, I don't know if the fuselage shape is the good one for this version. Too late. This kit is more like a warm up to me, but a good one. Now the pictures : Here it is, the model is not complete yet, i need to do the exhaust fumes, the gun fumes, the wheels, and the tail wheel, glue all the little parts and then it will be done, but the main painting and weathering is done. I had to change one balkenkreuz on the wing for a fuselage one as i ruined the decal sadly.
