The Hobbyboss kits look pretty good from where I'm sitting. I think I might get a few to use up decals in the Eduard FAA double boxing. Well you get what you pay for, they are just over a fiver each and build well and look the part,great for using up all the decal's lying around! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be getting a few. The Eduard night fighter looks particularly splendid, the decals have gone on really nicely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Looking good Steve, I agree with your sentiments re the HB Hellcats, quite a decent model of one & fun builds to get some schemes done. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Hi Steve, apologies for loosing track of your factory floor over the last several days. You haven't sat on your hands, that's for sure and the gruesome foursome is looking smashing! I like the French one best, but I am very slightly biased. Great work! JR PS: what happened to the D 520? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luis Alfonso Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Hi Steve!! This type of kits look nice and fairly easy for a quick project of any aircraft!!! I have bought Both of the Sabres, F-84G, a MS 406, and if possible the Hellcat as this bird has many nice versions to do. Currently I am looking for the Italeri to get the FAA decals to use them in an allblue scheme as the one I have watched in the FAA Museum, and plan to make an Aeronavale and AdlAir in Vietnam version too, and some USN aircraft. Thank you very much for sharing, Cheers, Luis Alfonso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted April 15, 2017 Author Share Posted April 15, 2017 Morning folk's I,ve been fitting the last few items to the various kit's and finishing of some detail painting,I put a wash into the panel lines of the early USN aircraft which has dried well and just break's up the scheme,a bit of exhaust staining next. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob85 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 That breaks up the colour a bit, looks really nice and further weathering will set her off a treat. Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyTiger66 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I like all of them Steve, but I really like the early USN one. Could I ask, what did you use for the blue/grey colour? I've a feeling it may apply to some early birdcage Corsairs too? I have an old Hasegawa one and have never known what colour to use . After what you and the others say about the F-84 and MiG 15 by Hobby Boss, I feel a walllet weakening coming on ! Have a very happy Easter Best regards TonyT 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Steve!!! The German one is an F-86F-40, the decals for WGAF are wrong to that variant BUT the Japanese are right, and also can make any F-86F-30 or -35 updated iin the wings for a -40 from this kit: Korean, Japan, USAFE, Thailand, and many more: The other is a F-86F-30 peculiar to Korean War or later in USAF or another Air Forces before the -40; also have bought the Messerschmitt Bf 109 E-3, E-4/trop, E-4/7, and G-2, G-2/TROP, 's as I am fan for this bird too and seem so easy to make something nice with them, just doing something here and there and little additions to make a nice build...Have thought about the MIG 15, is tempting...but have some three 15 and three 15 UTI from KP unbuilt...and the same case with Spitfires and Hurricanes as have many of Airfix to build...but maybe when will be back to the Hobby Shop things in my mind change... Cheers and go ahead My Friend!!! Luis Alfonso Edited April 15, 2017 by Luis Alfonso 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted April 17, 2017 Author Share Posted April 17, 2017 Hi folk's where did the weekend go? not a lot of bench time but plodding on with this group all the wheels,props etc painted and added wash finished on the gray scheme now ready for matt coat,I'm toying with the idea of a light wash for the sea blue machines I'll give a Hobbyboss one a go to see how it look's,the unwanted rockets from the Eduard kit have gone on the French machine. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
