CR-Models Boeing 727-100 1/144 complete New tooling
Rabbit Leader replied to RCI's topic in The Rumourmonger
Yes and I still work for them although sadly they never quite acknowledge this important part of their history. -
Hoping things sort themselves out as amicably as possible @Karearea. Modelling is a hobby best enjoyed when the mind is clear so glad you’re taking a step back to get the more important things back on track. Cheers and all the best.. Dave

Something I didn’t know and another reason why these STGB’s are great for getting the little things right. I agree, your kit looks good to my eye and having taken a second look at my 1/48 Airfix kit, they all appear to be the same and are in place to intentionally do the same job (so I think they’re right?). Cheers.. Dave

Revell 1/72nd Handley Page HP57 Halifax MkI
Rabbit Leader replied to Heather Kay's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Apologies for just coming across this now, however the finished article is absolutely stunning. What a superb Halifax, undoubtedly one of the best early versions going around in kit form. Cheers, congratulations and very well modelled.. Dave- 30 replies

That usually has the opposite effect, so you’re doing really well getting these beautiful kits to this stage. The work so far is exceptionally good. Cheers.. Dave

Happens to all of us, however give it two weeks in the cabinet and your eyes will see things quite differently. We get fixated by all the little things that ‘we modellers’ see during our builds, but that’s a sign of wanting to be perfect so a good trait to have. Once it’s 100% finished it will all blend in and your eyes will forget any small issues this kit gave you. It’s looking great from here mate. Cheers.. Dave

Mosquito Racer KB377 - a problem child
Rabbit Leader replied to Courageous's topic in DH Mosquito STGB
That’s looking exceptionally good now that paint and decals have been applied…. Prop spinners are beautifully done too! Just one point of interest if I may?… the angle of those open undercarriage doors look a little too wide to me. It appears that’s how Tamiya has designed the connecting stubs, however my take is that the gear doors should sit closer in to the gear legs when open. This is certainly not a criticism, just something that may become noticeable once viewed from the correct angle. Cheers and great progress.. Dave- 37 replies

Mosquito N.F. XIII MM465 Tamiya 1/48 in-flight
Rabbit Leader replied to Collin's topic in DH Mosquito STGB
Totally agree, that is really looking fabulous. The subtle pre-shading has work rather well. Cheers.. Dave -
de Havilland Mosquito STGB - The Wooden Wonder - Chat
Rabbit Leader replied to Johnson's topic in DH Mosquito STGB
I think these all need to be wrapped up in one single thread with attached photos. Seems like you’ve got a few on the go so no point making individual threads for each of them. Even one photo of all your half starts would be enough to get you on your way. Get onto that photo hosting site and start posting @The wooksta V2.0 Cheers.. Dave -
Actually the kit just arrived today and you are quite correct, replacement wheels are definitely in order. Mind you, the vintage Airfix kit is really in mint condition even the box is virtually brand new! Cheers.. Dave

Ha!!! well with a head like mine, what else would it be! Thanks Charlie. Thanks James, I’ll persevere with it. I think I always get this way at this stage in any build, decals will definitely lift it. I did notice that too Antoine, so I’ll probably get them in a few days. I’ve only got three days off next week, so it may be a struggle to finish it then. I’ll see how I go. Good luck with your build too. Cheers.. Dave

Apologies, it's been a while between updates as work and interstate family trips have gotten in the way a bit. Progress slowly continues, however this build is lacking something that is really grabbing me at the moment, perhaps some subtle weathering and decals will lift it a little bit, I'm just not sure. I'm now also at the point where I'm getting a little jealous of all those lovely Tamiya kits with those self-aligning wing spars.... hopefully I can get both a decent fit and tailplane alignment with this old bird! Cheers.. Dave
