well well well, you just can't tell

Well well well My michelle !!

I worried about my Spitfire Mk.24 and the radiator, I checked twice but I did'nt invert it ...

And the look  was not right to me

WP_20181128_20_40_19_Pro

If I ever wanted to have a Marty Feldman Mk 24 that would do the job But….

With all the respect due to this great artist, I just want a Spitfire Mk 24, and a good not too bad one.

So, I took my chainsaw And….

I restart the radiator ;;;

First trying to have the squared up a bit !

WP_20181128_21_19_36_Pro

More to come soon...

I think that the .24 will go back in its box for some days….

Sincerely.

Hello Col,

Thank for the kind words, it's already fixed, that poor horatio has lost all evidences.....

A good serial kit starter did'nt let fingerprints behind...:evil_laugh:

I just paid a visit to your Seafire XV's Thread, really great work indeed !

Love that paint scheme, I'll try to buy a SH one and then start a dual building with my hobbycraft one !

It will be another crazy thread from CC :rofl2:

Have a great modelling time

And many thanks for the Pict langage lessons !! it was great !!:cheers:

A pink one...

WP_20190415_22_34_17_Pro

Air intake almost fixed !! Blending Tamiya green cap with Mr White putty !!

Aaaaand Hey you what are you doing in a Starfire's box ???

WP_20190415_22_34_24_Pro

This Russian Spit is an evil child… Why did I decide to use these open flaps ??

Stupid me...

It may look like a mess but in fact it is well organized...

WP_20190415_22_34_09_Pro

And let's have one last look at the desk...

No, no Dears, The ICM original cockpit is almost not here :rofl2:

WP_20190417_22_46_39_Pro

Here are the prop blades…

I will use the BrenGun ones, they are far better, however, I started to correct the ICM ones..

WP_20190417_22_40_58_Pro

Let's say that Pinkie is on her way to the painting booth !!

Hope that you have a great modelling time !!

Hello Dears,

Yesterday, I get to my LHS for buying a rattle can of white primer...

For both my Dear Pinkie and my F4U-2

I've been savagely agressed by this guy !!

WP_20190509_11_54_59_Pro

He took me 38 € and he's now in my attic !!

One more for my R.P. Beamont serie !!

Of course I already have the old Eduard moulding...

But did you snif the smell of a double correcting build ???

Okaaayyy no more emojis...

I also see this box, a collector specially reboxed by Airfix for our Dear @Martian Hale

 

 

59761783_1151375808380022_1339742965551071232_o

 

Let's see an interesting build !!

I'm starting to feel this start a kit bug. At the moment I have six kits started. Two for the Specialist group build. My real problem is I can't seem to stop myself buying new kits. I have more than I can possibly build and three on the way. Now I find myself eyeing up the new ICM He 111H-20 because I like the box art.

Hello Greg !!

Glad to know that I'm not alone..

And you are'nt either !!

I showed my stash... Now, I try not to buy more kit than I built in one year:evil_laugh:

I say "I try" never say that it was working :rofl2:

I'm a bit late on my schedule .... :crap:

Well, A 1/48 Spitfire Mk XIV by Airfix... Must have one and correct my 2 hobbycracked ones....

Sincerely.

Hello Dears,

Here's the next RFIed Spitfire me think !

White paint is done...

WP_20190519_20_55_08_Pro

On for the stripes….

The one on the lower fuselage will stay visible,

The one Under the wings will be overpainted and faintly visible !!

I  will try this for the first time !!

More to come soon, 2 evening work day so the paint has some time to cure thoroughly before maskings !

Take care !

Sincerely.

CC

I like the idea of overpainted but still slightly visible stripes, if yours works I might steal the idea

 

John

PS Did you do a WIP on your Starfire? I looked yesterday but couldn’t find one.

Hello John !

Thank you feel free to use any tips or weird idea here on any of my threads !!

It's done purpotedly !!

Alas No, The Starfire was too far advanced in the building when I joined this Happy band of jolly modellers :rofl2:

Same for the Stuka and I think that it will be the last non WiPed kit...

I will save a sentence from our dear Alien !! "We pride ourselves in being the biggest batch of loonies hetre on BM" or Something like that !!

Not sure that Mike will put this on the BM banner :rofl2:

Sincerely.

CC

 

Here it is : We pride ourselves on having the modelling world's finest loonies here so you are indeed fortunate! Wibble!

 

Nicely said !!

All caught up! Blimey it’s like a festival of kits. I can’t keep up watching how you manage to keep track of what you’re building is amazing and with such great results too. Hat doffed CC. 😇
