Hello Gents !!

Even if I totally dislike it...

More masking....:wall:

IMG_20221017_213857

And there will be far more masking on this one.....

White paint now !!

I got to the doc and took a test....

We'll see tomorrow if the bug got me at least....

Just catching up after life ( and visitors ) got in the way last week, what I seem to have missed most is ... masking!  😜

 

John. 🇺🇦

 

 

Masking is a bare necessity...

And I dislike it....

But I always choose paint scheme that need....

Guess what ???

Masking....:facepalm::facepalm:

 

One more setback....

Varnish reaction....

IMG_20221030_174241

Tamiya canned clear varnish and Life colors paints !!

The right path to disaster....

The white spinner is painted with AK

The yellow tips with Xtra crylics....

It is already sanded....

Well Gents...

I'll see you in 5 days... 5 evening work days.... Rats....

sincerely.

Hello Gents !!

Here we are with more..... maskings...:blink::blink:

IMG_20221031_000252

I'm trying another way to proceed...

I saw this here on BM but forgot the alias of the guy... or Gal....

I mean, realising all the stripes or coloured parts before applying the NMF.....

But I think that I did'nt choose the easiest one with Salee......:suicide:

Hello Gents,

Stripes are done but need a bit of improvements.....

IMG_20221105_222820

And the next pony is about to be buttoned up....

IMG_20221106_011233

While I was at work, I crossed the path of @Pete in Lincs on his way to help our Dear alien....

Well done Pete...

Hello Gents !!

Here we are, Working on some kits as usual....

The Thunderjet is about to get in RFI....

Be careful about Airfix Mustang....

Everything looked right, I dry fitted the other half fuselage and DANG !!!

IMG_20221107_000130

Everything seem to line up perfectly but this part must line up with the fuselage....:blink::blink:

Externally, it look quite fine when it did'nt line up.....

Damn pitfall......

But it is fixed now....

If found this pic on FB....

It just show how clean the Mustang were in ETO.....

309693919_474194261417373_5351880522526563264_n

More ideas for Salee......

Important Mission debriefing for both @Martian and @Pete in Lincs....

I sacrified myself to taste this one.....

Seemingly a recipe 2 years younger than me...

But reissued now.....

 

IMG_20221106_212541

Totally forgetable for me....

I did'nt finished it....

Taste like a Stella or a Jupiler but with more volts....

Seriously, I turn myself back to prayers.... Monks and Nouns know what tasty beer is meaning !!!

Drinking a Pils with 8,5 volts is still a Pils..... 

Now, for a Pils amateur.... 

Have a great modelling evening !!

Sincerely.

Hello Gents,

And then ? and then? And then ?

Huh huh...

Here comes another pony.....

IMG_20221108_223657

Airfix one....

Still a Tamiya and an ICM to be assembled....

But I'm looking with envy to another box....

Promise Guv't, that will be the last ones....

For a while.....

At least....

Perhaps....

3 years without SMW, that make me sick as hell.....

Can't resist to share this one with you...

It gave me a smile.....

Top work on the ponies CC. The beerbulance made me smile. I need that thing in my life. 😃 

 

Johnny.

Who don't ??? :rofl2::rofl2:

Well, maybe @Pete in Lincs since he is the main driver of the beerbulance....

 

Airfix Mustang is a good kit but.....

The way the enginered the tail unit is.... Errrr

I was glancing at the pony but something was wrong...

Then the penny dropped....

 

IMG_20221110_232917

The tail was wonky, so I fixed it wit a plastic shim....

The good way of gluing bit by bit....

More to come soon ....

Sincerely.

And now, back to Mustangland....

Looking good on the progress CC.

The way it will be....

When I showed the firsts ones done, it has been said so 😛😛

IMG_20210109_142056

Huh, there's still a Mustang Mk I almost done....:bandit:

And then the B and C models still in the stash....:bandit:

 

 

Well Gents....

Almost last action masking.....

IMG_20221126_231654 IMG_20221126_231703

Fingers crossed now.....

The next Ponies will be more colourful....

See you later Gents !!

Sincerely.

Hello Gents

Very busy days now....

The shoulder is worsening and I have to finish my little peanut....(aka my toyota)

Cylinder head will be back tomorrow....

On the Mustang front, SWMBO was at work and I've had a bottle of Alclad almost empty....

It was too tempting.....

IMG_20221129_152158 IMG_20221129_152215

Look good to me.....

I still have a bit of AK for the control surfaces.....:wicked::wicked::wicked:

We will perhaps have a Mustang finished this year.....

More to come soon....

I also worked on the Devastators and Walruses but nothing worth a pic.....

Stay safe my friends !!

Sincerely.
