Matcham11 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Hello everybody here on britmodeller! I'm one of the new dudes, and don't have a big amount of experience. But I have built quite a few kits. I went to an airshow earlier this year and a fellow plane builder was selling out some of his kits. And one of them was this brilliant kit! It was damn cheap so I had to get it! As I've already said, i'm still new to building models, done it for like two years now. I'm 15 years old Build thread is here : http://www.danskemodelbyggere.dk/forum/index.php?topic=2665.0 I'm very proud with the results! Yes I know I weathered it a bit too much and there is silvering, but the silvering is fixed. Here follows : Robin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadders Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Flippin' 'eck Robin!!! For a 15 year old thats brilliant. Keep up the good work. You know your mistakes, and I'm sure you'll learn from them, but this build is something you can be proud of 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matcham11 Posted September 9, 2012 Author Share Posted September 9, 2012 Cheers mate! Appreciate it! At the moment I'm building a Revell 1/32 F-15D. Alright kit, but it has some missing parts and so on. But it's from 1984 or something like that. It's gonna be painted in the scheme of 86-0182 / LN from RAF Lakenheath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPARKER Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 The Spitfire looks good and as Chaddersvsaid you know your mistakes. Very impressive build, looking forward to seeing the LN F-15. Keep up the good work 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dekenba Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Damn right you should be proud - that's a pretty good build. Good quality photography as well. My builds when I was 15 were, um, interesting.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riggers Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I have to add to that!! Very well done young man, you should be very proud of yourself. Enjoy the F-15 build............ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matcham11 Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 Happy to know that you all find it nice! I think one of the things that helps your builds is the possibility to find loads of reference pictures on the internet rather than lending/buying a book. I will post my F-15 as soon as it's done!

Robin Robin, Better place here as there are LOADS of tutorials & guidance here for the F-15. Just do a search & there is 'bound' to be someone that has made it & they have completed a 'build' sequence. Better still, find it & try to match or beat the person that made it! All the best & have fun................. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miggers Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) Good attempt at "Donald" Like folks say,you know your mistakes,but at least you've listened to us "Spit buffs" and not gone for the thick black panel line look that is oh so wrong with a smooth Spit/Seafire airframe. Well done lad,ask all the questions you want about anything,we're all here to help. Edited September 11, 2012 by Miggers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done lad,ask all the questions you want about anything,we're all here to help. I quite agree on the one with the panel lines! It looks rather silly with too much of a black line Thanks for the ''like'' Robin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
