    Ok after what seems ages I have managed to get back to this build, though unfortunately I haven’t done all that much. Was trying to sort out Tigercat, but as mentioned in that build I have very little time to spend on build at the moment. With luck and no sleep I might be able to finish this off when next back on R&R. Anyway, spent more time trying to finish and tidy up red/white paintwork, think it’s sorted! Did a few other bits here and there which aren’t seen in the photos but needed finishing. Just sitting together to see how it should/may (hopefully) look like!!! Most of the work left is the little fiddly bits, paints 95% done, just the clear coats and decals. Then final assembly the rigging and mounting top wing.....not looking forward to that and will only have two days to do it in!!!

    I have finally managed to get back to this build but unfortunately this will be the last update! Now due to my working FIFO in North West Australia I only get 5 days a month off, which leaves very little time for family let alone hobbies. Hopefully this project will only be until the new year!! I won’t be able to complete this build in time but I will complete it, though won’t probably be now until later this year or early next. Anyway wanted to get a bit more done before it goes into hibernation. I’m not still 100% happy with the general finish, it needs a bit more work to get the look I’m after. So far I managed to get the patchiness of finish they had later in their lives just by buffing the surface unevenly, hopefully I won’t lose this once a clear coat is one. The engines are just fitted to see how the whole thing looks, I was going to details the engines but with tie as it is, this may been done when I finally got to finish it. The work on the lower exhaust section worked out nicely, looks much better correctly flared. Thanks everyone for look and for the comments, am just a bit sorry I could get it finished as I was enjoying this build.

    cool, do like the early Typhoons. Well you're one up on a few of us, we're having a hard time not gluing or fingers together! only one to go.......there's a prize for number 30!!! ....arrr.....well not really other than the satisfaction of being #30, ok maybe you can have your name in a different colour!

    opps, sorted...........once I get past 20 I take no responsibility for my counting abilities, I run out of limbs with digits on!! Cool you can be Pin #24. Arrr EvilBay my home away from home when I'm away from home. Ok now that's sorted we have an extra person but the count still stays the same.

    You're added. Nice wee plane Pin,I likey, just hope you havent built it by then. Just three to go.......... Ok this is just plain weird, have updated my self twice!!! Ok bedtime for me!
  6. trickyrich
    you're added. Nice little model there Pin, looks super cool, hopefully you haven't built it yet!

    yeap, though I don't think anything can stop you now, you've certainly got resin sorted with your last couple of builds!!

    we just need four more lost souls........opps I mean interested people who'd like to try something different. or just four lost souls who like the smell of resin dust in the morning..........or just getting their fingers stuck together with CA cement Again it would be open to any subject matter that its main components are made of resin and having more than 10 resin parts would be preferred. Really resin conversions don't really count, you'd have to be replacing 90% of the main plastic components, but just ask. So give anyone else you know a nudge to come join, would love to see some more AFV's, ships, cars, SYFY stuff are well. I currently have four to consider at the moment for this build; 1/72 Czech Masters Westland Wyvern TF.1 (wt 22 cyl RR Eagle engine) 1/72 Planet Models Me329 1/48 MPM He219A (this require a lot of work!!!) 1/48 Planet Models Ju388 J-1 (4 mths mightn’t be enough for this one!!) Though I’m bound to have more to choose from as it gets closer....

    Absolutely stunning work Bill!! It has to be one of your nicest yet and they're all pretty amazing!! It's hard to believe it's only 1/72 and not in a bigger scale. Another amazing job well done!

    Ha ha, I know I should have check out colour schemes before I wrote that! did a goggle on colour scheme and found out I was an idiot! Now chasing a TwoBobs "Sandbox" Alleycats decal set, that looks soooo cool, if I can't get that then the NSAWC schemes you mentioned look cool as well. To calm my digital urge am about to get 1/48 Academy Mig-29AS with Digital camoflage from SaintsPhil.
  11. trickyrich
    I am sooooo tempted, at this rate i'll be in GB hell for the rest of my life!!! hmmmm have no idea what to build for this one, wish they had some crazy splinter or digital colour schemes, that would be really cool. may have to troll goggle for ideas, plus may have to drop down to 1/72 as I'm starting to run out of room. Plus it's easier to hide!
  12. trickyrich
    OH YEAH!!! This would be good, count me in.............though would it be open to the F-51's and twin stangs? bugga another one to add to the growing list, oh well it keeps me off the streets!
  13. trickyrich
    Well done she looks great!
  14. trickyrich
    nice job, she certainly looks the part alright. mind you, you could loose a small child in those wing gaps. hmm I wonder if you could here an echo in there!
  15. trickyrich
    wish I was only away from home for a week, have another 7 weeks before I can get back to mine!

    I have heard of that problem before with the fuselage plus besides being different lengths they can also be quite warped. Think I have had some luck there, dry fits show there is very little warpage and they are both the same length! I bet though there is something nasty waiting for me..........
  17. trickyrich
    We now have 26!!!!!! Are Mish your new photo is quite creepy and is giving me nightmares!
  18. trickyrich
    You're right there, though I find bubbles the worst, just when you think you have a perfect finish.....bubbles! I think they plan and plot it like that. Good to see you want to join the madness....Ooops I mean fun! Gosh you may have to run a class in how not to, there's a little bit of me in every resin beasty I've built.........hmmm what a scary though! Maybe this will be you first time?
  19. trickyrich
    Those PE perforated barrels can be fun to build!!! Hope they gave you a spare, I ruined one of mine on the FAA build! Everything else is looking great though.
  20. trickyrich
    naaa, there's always room to fit one more on the bench, plus how big could a wee 1/72 Orion be! Am really looking forward to seeing this one finished, is an unusual looking beasty.
  21. trickyrich
    they look nice, if I didn't soooooooo many other things on the go as well as being time limited, they'd look like something nice to build!
  22. trickyrich
    I know that feeling, take a break and have a little fiddle with this one, may be all you need?
  23. trickyrich
    arrr i'm the first to say welcome to the funny farm! nice job, well done. The Vampires/Venoms (?) look great. Hope you enjoy it here and look forward to seeing more of your work.
  24. trickyrich
    I had been looking at the same photo's as well. On the upper section behind the prop it looks quite matteven with the prop wash blowing any spray away. Plus it looks like (or maybe the light) a fair bit of bleaching (?) on the upper wing around the fuel tank. Not the best place to be lax with fuel when refueling!!!

    lovely job well done
