  1. Hi all, This is the kit I was building for the In The Navy GB but didn't finish it in time. Work so far; 20200427_200746 by Lex de Kort, on Flickr 20200429_203811 by Lex de Kort, on Flickr 20200430_203902 by Lex de Kort, on Flickr 20200520_210815 by Lex de Kort, on Flickr 20200527_204806 by Lex de Kort, on Flickr 20200607_195722 by Lex de Kort, on Flickr 20200607_201553 by Lex de Kort, on Flickr 20200614_203547 by Lex de Kort, on Flickr 20200614_203607 by Lex de Kort, on Flickr 20200614_205628 by Lex de Kort, on Flickr Some progress soon
  2. Well it's been a while since I’ve posted anything in this area, but two GBs have got me back into building 1/72nd aircraft. This build was for the ‘In the Navy’ GB that is still running down in the Group Build section. I have previously built Airfix’s 1/72nd Wildcat as if it were in flight so, when a colleague at work kindly got me this Martlet for a birthday a while back, I thought - rather than make it with the wings out, I would do them folded. The ‘In the Navy’ GB seemed the logical place to make it in this way and I had some ideas for how I would display it. This particular Mk.IV Martlet - FN142 - is modelled when it was based on HMS Formidable in November 1942. This is a photo of the actual aircraft: The build itself was enjoyable and the detail out of the box is pretty good. The only additional work I did was to add some extra detail at the wing joins (using bits of plastic and lead wire plus doing a bit of drilling) and introduced a droop to the elevators. Kit: Airfix 1/72 A02074 Extras: Plasticard, plastic rod, lead wire, Paints: Humbrol, Revell, Citadel and Railmatch acrylics all applied by brush. The WIP can be found: Here Some closer views - I'm not sure I should be doing this in 1/72 as it's brush painted! From the start of this build I wanted to display it as if it was on deck of HMS Formidable. Just a couple of photos here and the rest will be in the diorama/vignette RFI section. More photos of the deck vignette can be found: HERE So a big thank you to my colleague at work for buying this Martlet for my birthday and thank you to everyone who took the time to comment and make suggestions in my build thread. Thank you also to @rob85 for being the fantastic host of the GB. Kind regards, Stix
