Beautiful model

Thank you very much guys, that input is invaluable information ..so apart from the seat it's pretty much a OOB build with a few details added to the cockpit .. my sort of model Thank you again Norm

Hi all I'm thinking of starting my Trumpeter kit which has languished in the loft for the last five years, are there any pitfalls with the kit I need to correct?... I've read up on a few reviews and apparently the props are wrong? I know about the access door should remain closed and that the flaps were always closed on the ground (which I'll model that way) I'm not going to buy the expensive trumpeter etch detail set (90% of it wouldn't be used) so a bit of scratch building is in order. Are there any resin replacement wheels available (can't seem to find any) as I'm not a fan of the rubber ones. Many thanks in advance Norm

Looking very good

Amazing work Tom .. really impressive build so far

Great work Ian

I have this kit in my "To do over winter" so I'll be watching this progress .... great work so far

Excellent work Russ .. beautiful finish

Beautiful Tomcat .. brilliant work

Cracking build Mike ...love the weathering

Looking forwards to this build ..oh a clean work area, we can't have that

Excellent ... another stunning model

It's pretty quiet and shouldn't disturb anyone in the house, add to that the compressor has an auto cut off once the tank reaches pressure and restarts once the pressure drops below a certain limit ... my model room is below our main bedroom and the wife said she can't even hear any noise when I've been doing airbrush work at 3 in the morning.

Hi Rick That combination would cause you more problems than it's worth. so a better option (for little more money) would be this option ...it gives you a compressor with a tank (so no pulsing) pretty much the same compressor I have except mine has the boxed cover over it, works very well too and you get yourself two airbrushes to learn with. I've heard some good and bad things about the cheap knock off airbrushes, but you could always upgrade your airbrush at a later date and still use the compressor. Hope it helps Norm

Brilliant work, a real masterpiece

good detail work Tom

Excellent work Peter ... even down the pre-shading of the hand

Very nice model Mike, but doesn't the P-47 have navigation lights under the wing?

great shape for an aircraft ... great job

What a cracking pair you have .. models that is .. I agree not many planes look good in desert pink, but they both do ... good job

Red plastic (shudder) one thing that puts me off coloured injected kits ... good work none the less ... that range of thinners looks good, I'll go have a look

This is insane scratch work ..oh wait Fozzy is building it .. carry on people ... very nice indeed

Welcome to the forum ... very nice internal work you've done there ... looking forwards to seeing more Norm

stunning model .. looks almost real
