The model that I'm going to present to you is a WESSEX HAS3, the ITALERI in 1:48 scale, of the Fleet Air Arm, No 737 Squadron NAS, HMS Antrim, in service during the Falklands War in 1982. The model was produced by a mold totally new, very negative in the end, and quite accurate in the joints, also complete with a small photo-etched, what it does very happy, and the possibility to realize various specimens, both in low visibility, such as that I've played, but also much more colorful exemplary. Wishing to make accomplish with the cargo door open, I wanted to reconstruct the whole inner part, and I must say that I really enjoyed everything you need to rebuild. After joining the two half fuselages, and having filled and sanded, I painted everything with Flat Extra Dark Sea Grey, and after applying the clear gloss, I applied the decals that I have to say I'm a bit thick .... .but with the softener Mr Mark Softer of the Gunze, I still managed to make them adhere very well. After another application of gloss paint, glazes and given clear matt varnish, I applied the wash with the temperagrigia dark, and made of weathering with Tamiya dust. I chose to make it with the propeller blades bent, mainly for reasons of space, but in the end it is still aggressive.

The kit that I present is that of TA-4J dell'Hasegawa, scale 1/48. It 's the first I build and I must say the ease of the assembly is the same of mono. I used Model-Master colors, and added the seats of resin Aires, in addition to photo-engraved plate of Eduard dedicated to the cockpit of the TA-4J. It 'was fun to make another Agressor, a kit very precise and enjoyable.

The model that we present is a classic dell'Hasegawa 1/48, an A-4E Skyhawk dedicated to the VA-127 "Cylons." I used the decal sheet of Fightertown dedicated to the VA-127 "cylons", and the colors I used are the Model-Master, more exactly 1741 ghost dark gray (FS36320) for the top, where I applied under the 1728 light ghost gray (FS36375), and finally to the bottom I applied 1732 light gray (FS36495). I added EDUARD photo etch, dedicated to the cockpit of the A-4E, a TRUE DETAILS seat, and after it has been colored, I run a wash with color in distemper dark gray.

The model that we present is the well-known Hasegawa kit, very nice and precise, dedicated to Marine Attack Squadron 331 (VMA-331). I added the sheet of photo etched EDUARD, dedicated to the cockpit of the A-4M, and the seat of TRUE DETAILS, and for the rest of the template is to be canned. The colors I used are all from the Model-Master, and the washings were made with the color in distemper dark gray.

finish.....

Once you have purchased one of the last of the Minicraft kit, dedicated to the Cessna 172, my imagination went on over to one direction: to create a greek T-41, the military version of this subject. The starter kit I must say that I was stunned .... is beautiful, full of rivets and finely carved panels, perfect for conversion to Mescalero! In the interior I just added the photoetched belts, while on the outside there are some changes that now enumerate. Cominciando con la parte frontale, bisogna chiudere con lo stucco il faro che c'è appena sotto l'elica, e togliere la corona che sorregge l'elica. Must inevitably close the windows above the cab. After preparing the model for the painting, I start with a light coat of Aluminium Metalizer. After all colored in gray light blue, you go to the parties in Orange, where before I have colored white, then international Orange, and with the help of a sponge microfiber I wanted to give that aspect faded due to the sun and weather.

Thanks to everyone for the compliments!! russ c- I painted everything with the airbrush, with many Tamiya masking with tape, and I had not even considered the fact of using the kit decals.

Hello guys ..... a question .... Who does not know the AIR AMERICA movie?? Well I present a PC-6 Air America, the American airline, secretly controlled by the CIA, which has operated in the South-East Asia during the Vietnam War. The model is in 1/48 scale, the RODEN, quality good, with panels in the negative, and with the decals Air America. I added the rivets, as in the original mold were not present, marking them first with the riveter of Trumpeter, and subsequently ripassandoli one to one with an awl, and after washing with tempering all the panels and rivets were accented. The base is made of plastic of EDUARD, and after it has been colored, dirty, and washed, was ready to accept the model. Not happy I bought a can of Tamiya dedicated personnel of World War II, with a surprise inside ..... a beautiful Willys Jeep, not advertised on the cover of the box. With several changes to the sketches and a color in keeping with the Willys, you can make a nice diorama. Then just add some garbage and Verlinden some cash and you're done.

Here it is the finished work, I worked a bit to be able to adapt the pilots of PJ Productions. However, the work is not done here .... In fact, with the other companions of adventure, we are working on the mega board will be made ​​where a small aircraft flight line of 4-5 and two on the bypass taxiing. Soon to follow pictures of the board in the works!

Once the washing with tempering and after applying the decals say that these elements are nearing completion! Here you can appreciate the work done with the airbrush, dust and temper.

After managing to enter the cockpit inside the fuselage Aires, after a great job of thinning of the fuselage, I closed everything and plastered where necessary. After sanding properly, re-recorded and where the panels were gone, we are ready to start applying the camouflage the model. The colors are GUNZE, ie the 'H-311 for the lower part, the H-27 with an addition of two drops of red to produce the light brown, the H-309 for the darker green and the H -340 for the lighter green. Of course first of all apply the model to bring out the shading panels. And finally completed the camouflage: And now two steps of clear gloss and we are ready to apply the decals.

Hello Boys! Just because I do not have enough, I start with another 104 more precisely, a TF-104G of the Belgian Air Force. To be more precise, we are friends we are making 7 7 104 all Belgians, TF 2 and 5 single, to be reproducing the whiskers on a flight line! I am more taken back by all, but I am committed to finishing it in less than 2 months. Then the configuration that I want to make it like you see in the picture (http://www.sbap.be/archivalia/pictures/pics%20129.jpg) that is with a container instead of the SUU-21 tanks under the wing. I would like to present it in a taxi, so I've got two drivers in the resin of PJ Productions, beautiful, and the set Aires to the interior, and of course the beautiful decals of DACO. Learn how to work the interior ...

As soon as I got this kit in his hands, and I saw the detail of the print, I had no doubts at buy it! The ICM, this time has made ​​a kit fabulous, the panels of the print have a negative fine, I would say perfect for 1 / 144 scale, perfect without snagging. The idea that I jumped on his head is to realize the landing concordsky and position, then raised with respect to the base support, but where the board is modified, so as to give a good effect "panning" right on texture! As you can see it starts with fixing the windows from the inside, but has reserved a small negative surprise ..... the windows of the back did not coincide perfectly so I had to separate them in groups of 2, however, is nothing impossible!

This scale model is a Hasegawa 1 / 48, where I went to add photoetched to the interior of Eduard, the wheels of the True Details resin, and exaust engine of the QuickBoost resin, and finally the tauro decals depicting a sample of 3 °Wing, based in Bari in 1952. The staining was done using color-Master Model Metalizer.

Due to a failure to digital, I could take some photos just finished model, and I joined in some shots with that of my friend Silvano. It 'the first time I use a pilot production of the PJ, but I must say that the final result is not all bad! you these figures recommend them!

The model that I started to build a Royal Navy Harrier GR Mk.9, scale 1 / 48 dell'Hasegawa. The box is dedicated dell'Hasegawa all'esemplaredel Naval Strike Wing (ZD406) 100th Anniversary of the FAA. The kit very good, I wanted to add the resin cockpit set in dell'Aires, resin and a pilot of PJ Productions, very nice and detailed. After eliminating the internal detail of the original cockpit kit, the set is perfectly suited Aires. The only downside on the assembly about the bottom inside of the vents, but will be resolved by applying the caps, representing the plane to the parking lot.

Here's to you the finished model!

I wanted to try to do a job challenging enough on its wheels in the end I liked it. I used the new sheet of decals Tauro dedicated to 104 .... and I must say that have nothing to do with the old Tauro decals, these are wonderful, in-register, accurate colors, thin at the right point, even dare I say perfect.

Now we are ready to run the washing tempering gouache. Of course, in order not to affect the underlying color washing will be done in phases farie, that is, before the wings, then the front of the fuselage ... etc.. Even before it is completely dry, the temper began to remove more, with a damp cloth. In the photo below you can see the right wing used in the wash, while the left one lacking them. Without this, the dust Tamiya, I give the model a little but not too much experienced. Finally two coats of glossy paint.

Once you have filled and sanded, we are ready for the coloration. I apply the pre-shading. Finally, with the color Gunze H306 cleared with a drop of white, apply the paint, and also those of the cone forward. The undercarriage I've colored with alluminium Metalizer. Meanwhile, the colors are dry, I colored wheels, always with the alluminium Metalizer, polished and after I did the washing with the temper.

The change to do the eyelid of the front instrument panel. Then I wanted to put into practice the advice of a Silvano, for coloring the cabin: Consists in coloring everything with black, then spray the base color of the cabin with the airbrush in a vertical, from above, it manages to highlight the details in a much more realistic, and you end up with a slight drybrush white or light gray. This means that the washing temper would be unnecessary. Finally, the seats are in the final ...

And here we are with another Starfighter, a TF, always of Hasegawa 1/48 scale, with the addition of the set AIRES for the interior, and since the color grey Model-Master produces it, so I should make a mixture of several colors, I feel for the first time the colors GUNZE, even the color, because it will only gray H306 I cleared with a drop of white. I must say that I have not been all bad, even If the rest of affections Model-Master! The specimen of 20 ° Gr I would like to make is the MM54254, or 4-36. http://www.airfighters.com/photo_1362.jpg It begins, after removing the resin sprue, to color the interior AIRES. I replaced the headrest of the original set with plastic kits, typical examples of the Italians. Photoengraved the plate, is very well made ​​with tons of details. Stamp with a magnifying glass and a permanent marker I colored each quadrant. by applying scotch tape on the dial you can have the glass effect of the same quadrant. In the back of the instrument panel have "closed" dial dedicated to the radar, while the front of the upper eyelid must be changed.
