Hi folks,

 

my first one this year, actually a residue from the festive period madness.

Built out of the profipack boxing, I only replaced the dipoles for the brass-turned Master items.

 

Wish everyone successful new year!

 

Cheers

Many thanks gents for kind comments once again!

 

Hobo: the interior paint was a mix of Gunze H colors according to instructions. Sorry for typo, HGW is correct (actually, they are not decals but 'wet transfers' - they do not use any background carrier film).

That could be easily corrected I guess. I battle with the same on each model of mine

Hallo Roman,

 

I guess your worries you mentioned last weekend were redundant, the final article looks very convincing - great job!

Well done Patrick, glad to see we had the same taste recently:-)

Hi folks,

 

with my growing collection of IAF I thought it would be nice having some of their opponents in the display case too, so I opted for this Eduard kit (this is my second kit, so I knew what to expect). It comes with the Royal Class boxing, basically with all goodies you may need. I only replaced the stencils data for the GHW ones which are just fabulous.

The markings is one of the machines flown during the Yom Kippur war and later allegedly wore some kill marks on the nose (including one for an Iranian F-4). However, I did not find that in my references so I omitted it for the time being.

Now on to the Mirage:-)

Hello Hobo,

yes, it might be the effect of postshading technique using various mixes of the base colour. Usually I work with Iwata HP-BH.

The fuel stains here were done in combination of post-shadding and paint chipping, if I recall correctly.

Enjoy the book! May post the He 111 at a later date.

Good luck, its not difficult, just some experience and feel for fine work is needed. The Emil is good choice to start with.

Sure thing:-), using riveting wheel from "Rosie the Riveter" range. That was done by free hand into a primer layer of Mr.Surfacer (i.e not into bare plastic) and then sanded down and polished.

Hi folks,

 

here is recent addition to my IAF collection. The AMk kit is very good kit just out of the box, so I added only home made seat belts and HGW fabric "RBF's".

The machine represents one of the 'The Arawa Guardians' squadron C.7 as seen in 1990.

 

Cheers

Gorgeous looking model - did you use the black basing, marbling effect technique or something else - came out perfect in any case. 

I used just postshaging us usually with my models, with couple of different mixes of the base colour.

Thanks! Yes, it goes to AA14. The deadline was pretty short, I spent on it about 2 weeks (I assume around 30 hours).

Those red lines along the wing roots are really strange, but make for a dash of color.

Hallo Roman, these were the sealing of wing fasteners made of doped fabric. Their bolts regularly broke off when the cannon were fired, so these are typical feature of practically all operational airframes.

Hi folks,

 

this is my recent build of the Airfix kit updated to a 404.sq (RCAF) machine as operated in the summer 1944 using Aviaeology gorgeous decal sheet.

We have a new book on this hard-hitting twin coming soon, see HERE.

Try to avoid AZ kits as these are not worth bothering. Some virtual modellers will bring up million negligible reasons which are in fact not substantial for the final kit's representation, but if you want to enjoy the hobby and avoid addressing millimetre here or halve there, just go for these.

Hi Chris,

 

thanks, hope you'll enjoy it! (it should come more than a kit build, but can!t promise more at the moment).

Hello Roman, good luck with yours! My build won't be finished any soon though as it is in the pipeline for the end of this year at the soonest.
