I guess the whole thing just comes down to opinion. Just my opinion, but I think the model looks incredible. I love the entire finish, including the panel lines. I'd be extremely proud to have a model half that good, but that is just my opinion, and not that valuable many congratulations again!

Yeah looks to be in the wrong section, but the model looks brilliant! Nice job, congratulations!!

This year I'm going to build the kits I've got before I buy a new k........ hmm.... ok maybe just this one...!

I was thinking about buying this kit myself. After seeing yours, I'll definitely get one..... and then weep when it looks rubbish compared to yours Brilliant work, congrats!

just stunning!!!

this just keeps getting better and better

wow!!!! Loving this build!! Will be watching with much interest!

Thanks mate, I hope so, really pleased how the cockpit came out. Fingers crossed the rest of the plane will follow! The Spit VII looks a great little kit, can't wait to get stuck into it!

wow! she's a cracker! Nicely done! I'm doing this kit as well at the moment, it's a lovely kit for its age.

Thanks for the encouragement guys! Nothing much to report atm, mainly masking the clear parts in preparation for the paint, where disaster struck! I slipped whilst masking the main canopy and scratched the front glass area. I sanded the scratch out, polished it and dipped it and it's at about 98% what it was pre-slip, so got away with it just about. More to follow soon

ello!! What a lovely Sea Vixen, great work!

wow, they are awesome! nice work

you've made a cracking job there, nicely done

Hi all, This is a WIP, and it's my Tamiya 1/48 Mustang III, as you've probably guessed by the title!! I'm doing this as part of the group build on Flory Models, and thought I'd share it here as well to get involved. This will be my forth or fifth model since returning to the hobby. I am yet to complete a model I'm actually happy with!! I'm also 9/10ths through an old model 1/72 airfix GR7, which doesn't seem to want to get finished, and is a real pig in places. I'm also 3/4 through an Airfix Sabre which is a joy in comparison. This kit is a different world though, the fit is so good it's nearly a snap together kit with wonderful detail. The panel lines on the underside are very soft though as I guess the molds must be getting old. I've finished the interior so far and glued her up, although I've not got picks of this stage so far. Here's the box pic, although I'm sure most of you are considerably more familiar with this kit than me: and here is my interior: Basically I primed the interior with XF-1 flat black and used a heavily thinned Vallejo Interior Green which hopefully gave the model some shadows. This was then dry brushed with a lighter green. The rest was brush painted with Vallejo paints and the silver is Citadel, given an oil wash which you can't really see, and the floor was given some pigment. The seat belts are Tamiya tape and fuse wire. That's it so far. Also, I'm not a fast builder, apologies in advance for that!! I took the pics on my iPhone as I couldn't find my camera lead, but the pics would have been ok if I focused them properly! I'm here to learn, so please give me as much advice as possible, will be warmly received as I'm new to this. I'm not that bothered about accuracy, close enough will do, but would be interested to learn about correct colours/shapes for the future (I'll do another one of these kits, they're great!). Thanks guys, Val

Hmmm.... looks to me like you've photographed an actual aircraft and are trying to claim it's your model Only joking, of course, an unbelievably good finish, brilliant work, I'm inspired!! Congratulations!

Love it!!
