Haris Ali Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I'm slow in commenting on your work, but I've been returning to it over the past few days to admire the craftsmanship. A superb piece of work, beautifully done. Looking forward to seeing it the mag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiffy Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 There have been so many superb models posted up here in the past week or so, that I'm running out of superlatives. How about, exceptionally tasty. Have always liked the Peties and funnily enough, I just watched the Bodenplatte episode of "Dogfights" the other day.

Mark Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Hi Nick, you already know what I think about your P-51D, but I'd just like to state publicly that it's the best I have personally ever seen! Stunning work mate and I hope that the earlier P-51s (which are now on their way) get the same treatment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vitor Costa Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Hi Turnerdad. What an amazing job you have done, always a pleasure to see "things" like this! Congratulations that is a reference kit for me. Thank you for sharing. best regards Vitor Costa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev67 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 That is a gorgeous build, how did you do the oil staining on the side of the aircraft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnerdad Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) Again, many thanks for your kind comments. I have written a very comprehensive build article for Military in Scale, I believe it will be in the April edition. It goes into every stage in detail, how I did the staining, weathering, painting etc so if there are any aspects of the model you would like to try then I would recommend following the mag. It's a great mag anyway and I would like it to see it continue going from strength to strength as there are some extremely talented modellers writing for it (not counting me in that btw), and it only costs a few quid and the way I've written the article, hopefully you'll be able to replicate the model almost exactly, and of course you will be free to create cleaner or dirtier models with whatever level of detail you wish, it doesn't need to be as dirty, or indeed a Mustang, it's been more of an excercise in natural metal finishes. If of course you don't want to buy the mag I understand and of course I'll pass any tips here. I hope that is fair.

M4rk Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Nick, I saw this at MK on Sunday and it really is a stunning model. A richly deserved Gold in the 1/32 competition class as well, plus 'coolest in show' award if I remember rightly. My Hornet actually took Silver behind yours in the same class which I was pretty chuffed with, as soon as I put mine down on the table and saw yours I knew that one would win easily!

Thanks, I poured over your Hornet too, very nice. Sometimes it's impossible to tell how these competitions go, but it's just a bit of fun really and I do like meeting the creators of some of the really nice models, like the overall winner with his scratchbuilt WWI pusher bi-plane. As soon as I saw it I knew it would walk away with the best in show, and rightly so! Congratulations on you silver, a big Hornet is one of those models I really hope I get to build before I go to the giant modelling show in the sky...
