wingnut

Great work.Really like the understated weathering and chipping

never seen one of those before.Great work

great build of an interesting subject

That looks great Mish

nice one Rob

great work

just spotted this.Great work, love the broken window and the rust effects

I bought the kit from hobby link japan afew weeks back: 'Box' shot: 'sprue' shot: I started by joining the the fuselage halves together: I then joined on the wings drilled out the crew compartments in the wing section: Had to add a small plug to the air intake due to an air bubble in the resin. Apart from this the resin is of really good quality: the kit canopy is solid perspex and a bit rough so I decided to plunge mould my own: I then cut it into the relevant sections.I made a seperate mould for the windshield: I then added some lead wire for the canopy framing and test fitted it: So far its been an interesting and challenging kit to work on.hope to have another update soon Dave

Thanks Rob The trees are just white metal model railway tree stumps, only problem I had with them was the paint coming of them while positioning them.Metalic trees dont look good! Dave

great work

Ive added the flak truck and afew tree stumps to break the base up a bit: Thanks for the positive response Dave

great work Mac!

superb! really like the scuffs on the wing root, great work

thats a great bit of scratchbuilding, nice one!

that looks superb! great work

Hi Finished the plane a while back.I used the CMK resin engine set Eduard photo etch and the squadron vac form canopy.Just finished the diorama using the airfix luftwafe ground crew set.Hope you like it:

wow You did a great job.I love the yellow pinstripes on the canopy, I didnt have the nerve to do those are they decals or painted?

finished this yesterday.built it pretty much out of the box.It was painted using citadel paints for the exterior and life colour for the cockpit.The figures are from the Italeri ground crew set.The ladder was scratch built from lead wire:

Glad you all like it I used 'propblurs' .it took quite a bit of experimenting to get it reasonably realistic : http://www.propblur.com/Home_Page.php I used the resin airwaves set for the typhoon.The pylons had to be cut down, but they were a good fit to the wing The August 2008 scale aircraft modelling has a very good article on the trumpeter and special hobby kits,It was very usefull guide during the build. thanks Dave

This was supposed to be a quick out of the box build but things quickly got out of hand! I ended up using the cannopy and wheels from the trumpeter kit and added the propblurs,photo etch and pilot.All in all it took about two months.hope you like it:

great work.

wow thats a pretty unique build.great stuff!

looks great, nice work

great work.The pics are outstanding

Wow that looks fantastic.did you order the kit direct or is there a British distributor now?
