  5. Now that's a lovely job on your EV, mate - Nice colourful bird, too! Regards Dave
  6. Thank you kindly, mate - This model is absolutely fine - I'm a perfectionist so probably spent too much time on this issue ......... Have a go and I think you you will be surprised how this one comes together. If you encounter any probs during the build you are very welcome to drop me a PM. Regards Dave
  7. That's a lovely job on your Hurricane - well done! Regards Dave
  8. Dear all, A nice straightforward model after my Albatros OAW. Roden's 48th scale Junkers DI early long fuselage variant which is a really great kit slightly let down by some vague instructions and poor quality decals. Nothing special - built mostly OOB with some minor detailing in cockpit. The kit rudder features a fixing strut/peg that is very flimsy so replaced that with a bit of metal wire which is much stronger now. Regards Dave
  9. Wonderful model Zero and an excellent diorama. Regards Dave
  10. That's good work on your Roland! - Had you not said, I would never have noticed the decal problems. Regards Dave
  11. Another cracking Gladiator model with excellent attention to detail. Regards Dave
  12. Excellent work on your Barracuda - good standard of finish too. Regards Dave
  13. Wonderful Gladiator and nicely displayed Regards Dave
  14. That's lovely Stew! Regards Dave
  15. That's a rather nice model Gladiator you have created there - well done! Regards Dave
  16. Dear all, After several attempts at getting the paint scheme sorted, some pictures of my completed Roden Albatros DIII OAW. This scheme is the most demanding one I have undertaken to date. It is not helped by the fact that the colour/marking diagram in the instructions are not to scale. I only found this out as I started to do it. If you line up where the drawing shows you on one part of the aircraft, it will not line up further along. After many frustrating attempts I settled for the version you see here. Therefore, the scheme is not 100% accurate and there are a few errors in terms of line distancing and size. This was the best I could achieve unfortunately ....... In any case, searching on Google has revealed that for the few that have done this scheme, all have errors as well so that made me feel a bit better! To paint (as you mostly know I am a brush painter) I used masking tape to give me a straight line to draw (pencil) the line I needed. I then removed tape and followed these drawn lines carefully with my brush and touched up as required. Painting therefore took a lot of time on this one. Model completed with the following: Eduard PE set (not all parts used); White metal cabane struts and tail skid; Hollowed out gun muzzles and exhaust opening; Some basic detailing to engine and cockpit; Used a WNW wind screen filed to approx shape; Fine copper wire wraped around undercarriage axel to represent bungee cord Rigging accomplished using 0.11 mm fishing line for bracing wires and fine knitting/sewing elastic for control cables. Displayed on base with Elan resin pilot figure. Completed scheme represents Obltn. Josef Loeser, Jasta 39, Italian front summer 1917. Anyway, I hope it is reasonable. Regards Dave
  17. That's really nice and as others have said, a pleasant change of scheme. Regards Dave
  18. Apologies for being late to the party ....... Not my genre of aircraft models, but boy is this good. Wonderful finish and I love the detailing to the undercarriage. Regards Dave
