Hold my beer for the Airfix one !!


CC, there is only one fit issue with the Airfix kit, on the windscreen.  Otherwise is great, no filler on mine.

Hello Dears,

Very buzy these last days, and tired to the bone...

So I did'nt have a great deal of modelling time...

But after an hazardous (to say the least) masking and painting session, we got this !!

IMG_20201210_210507

Far from perfect but far better than my previous attempts on previous kits...

I've been really sadened by the passing away of Gen Charles Yeager, just at the time I was about to finish Glamorous Glennis III

Well, the show will go on...

Take care Gents !!

Happy modelling to you all !

Thanks Steve, Thanks John,

Finally, I take the bet, there was places where paint did'nt cover

So, I'll do a bit of corrections..

Great stuff CC, some awkward masking going on.

 

So Pierre's building a 1/48th Sanger Stirling now, good choice, will he post progress?

Hello Dearr General !

Yes, it is a Stirling, but not a Sanger one !!

He's on with a complete scratch seemingly !!

His generalship, I pushed Pierre to post his job on BM....

But he is not quite used with computers...

So, I'm not sure he will alas.

As I explain it, moons ago We've had our mits on what would have been the Fonderie's Stirling...

We corrected it a lot but the owner of the masters asked for it...

Well, I turned it back and did'nt hear from the guy anyway..

 

Not messed up too much, methink !

IMG_20201212_204440

some tiny corrections here and there and it will be transfer time !!

A huge lot of it !!

Have a great modelling sunday, for me, it will be evening work tomorrow !!

Sincerely.

Lovely little catch up CC. Hope you had a great Christmas and you’re not working too hard. We all need a rest. 🙌🙌

great save and touch ups on the stripes, she’s looking amazing. As I’d expect from your fair hand. 
 

If you want to stop the Flory having bubbles i’ve found decanting it into a wider topped container really helps. You can pour what you don’t use back into the pot.

 

Merry Christmas dear Friend.

 

Johnny.

I’m glad to see that I’m not the only one who ‘pools’ the Flory wash.

Hope you had a good Christmas.

Hello dear Spad !

Thanks for the tip, I learned to use the bubbles for having some variations in the weathering !!

I really enjoyed Flory !!

 

Well Christmas mean Turkey !!

It's been a while since I did'nt post some food porn...

It all started with a sauce !!

IMG_20201224_160249

I cooked this sauce to protect the Turkey when cooking, then, it give a good taste and make the meat mellow, nothing is sader than turkey meat dry in your mouth !!

Then, it has been time for the stuff !!

IMG_20201224_160254

Onions, 3 differents types of mushrooms and pepperonies...

And on in the oven !!

IMG_20201224_161233

Pouring on the sauce while cooking, that must be done regularly !!

While the turkey is cooking, I prepared some starters !

IMG_20201224_174859

And the pears and cranberries that my beloved wife always favored for Christmas

IMG_20201224_184243

Aaaaand here we go !!

IMG_20201224_182747

That was a real pleasure !!

 

The following was a bit less pleasant...

Now I know, Yeager's cab will be the first RFI in 2021...

Because the damned Nearly finished kit's curse struck again...

IMG_20201227_194747

These malditos plywood transfers....

Luckily, I've this at hand...

IMG_20201227_204133

But I received this from my stepson !!

IMG_20201228_001831

A bit of morale booster !!

Well Gents, I'm back at work, 3 evening work day to finish this heavily forgettable 2020 !!

Take care gents !! and happy modelling !!

Happy new year to you all and your families !!

Sincerely.

Hello Dears,

See @Biggles87, no need to worry, 2021 is still a good time for some Pony lunacies...

 

IMG_20210107_230437

Now, there's one more P-51...

It gave 5...for a grand total of 9

And still, I did'nt play with the B and C models...:banghead:

More to come soon !!
