Thunder... Struck ?? Monogram and Tamiya F-84's


Recommended Posts

Spassiba @Nikolay Polyakov !!

Find it out is relatively easy !! on Evil Bay, Seriously, I love these old Monogram kits

But engraving it is a bit boring...

Once I cleaned up my cabinet, I will restart my Flagon too...

I restarted my russian learning ... With my son, It's an interesting situation to be and learn in the same classroom with your youngest son :rofl2:

I think that the flying Coca Cola bottle will be in RFI this week end !!

Sincerely

CC

Once the canopy is peeled off and she's loaded out, this will look fantastic. 

It's best not to rush these projects 😅🤣😇👍

It’s always great to learn the languages! And it’s never too late. (I think) I have a good practice here and my skills are better since my first post was created some time ago...

It’s not my favourite thing... 😬 I’ll prefer the raised panel lines in this case.

 

Lovely work my friend! 👍

I'm creating another speed brake...

IMG_20220623_225539 IMG_20220623_225535

Then color me stupid, I tried another type of lead ballast...

These are balance leads for alloy wheels....

IMG_20220623_205248

It has almost the same height as the loading drums.... But not the same width....:banghead::banghead:

Well, another job tor my trusty SCHIRC.....

I wanted to close up the gun compartment.... 

Well, a bit of work added...

Now, let's share a great new....

My son Nicolas, the one that know SMW has finished his schools....

He get through it, fingers in the nose !!:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

IMG_20220623_152422

Now, he's on his way to the university !!

Political sciences.... Oh Lord... Have mercy !!:rofl2:

He want to make an international career... 

Fingers crossed...

My other son have to wait the end of August, 3 more exams....

Fingers crossed too....

He is in graphical and digital arts....

Not too bad indeed !!

Stay safe Gents !!

See you in 3 days when I'll be back from France....

He's definitely picked interesting times to study this subject CC! Best of luck to the lad with starting his course. :thumbsup2:

 

I'd be careful posting a picture like that containing other people's details on though as it's probably breaking data protection laws.

Wish him luck too from me too CC - if he's inherited half your levels of enthusiasm he'll do fine. 😁

Sanding is on its way....

IMG_20220805_234825

There are not too much to do... Except to correct my over enthusiastic gluing....:rage::rage:

Hello Gents,

It is highly probable that we have our next RFI of the year here.....

I saw that the nose wheel have no brakes, just a see through wheel on early F-84....

Sooooo, what could a CC do ???

IMG_20220816_215947

Here's the state of that beast today....

Well, almost, I did'nt do nothing yet today...

Yesterday, I was at work.... Errrrr

Well, let's see....

IMG_20220818_220233

And then, I still must finish a Corsair this year.....

Stay safe Gents...

Happy modelling...

Hello dames and Gents !

Very sad day, I present my humble condolences to all my british friends...

Bereavement is shared, I've always hed a deep respect for the Queen...

Turning a G into a E is not hat easy.....

The gunsight is different, So, I modify the space behind the IP

Hello Dears,

I spent a lot of time searching for documentation about the gunsights...

To find out that everything was at hand...

Well almost....

IMG_20220924_225730

Now this....

IMG_20220925_225048

Vacu cutting....

Not my fav game at all....

The painting booth is really nearing now....

However painting is already on....

See you soon Gents !!

Well well....

In fact, I'm working on various aircrafts, but progresses are not worthy of pics...

I told you that some paints are on ...

See,

IMG_20220926_224016

And airbrake shovel is done now...

A bit of tidying up and paint too...

IMG_20220926_233527

So, it will be a proper E model methink....

Changing the Gunsight is not as easy as it seem... Now, I added some details too....

I still have some F-84's but I need something else after this one....

I also will update a XF-91.... But not now....

I also worked on the Steam Pigeon and the Mustang...

I did'nt choose the easiest paint scheme....

As usual for me....

Comments are welcome....

Sincerely.

Hello Dears,

Here we are....

A more conform gunsight and some bits to make it more interesting....

IMG_20221002_001341

Copper wire has been painted since

I always gave a first coat, but paint got out when I place it...

So, it is now repaired....

The mustang D-5 is almost at the same level....

Which one will make it to RFI first ????

Bets are open....

Sincerely.

hello dears !!

I fully masked the Tamiya canopy, it can be used later...

IMG_20221004_202323

Then, risky business....

Cutting a Vac formed canopy....

IMG_20221004_214559

This one will be brush painted...

Then again, some decals ??

IMG_20221004_225052

BM beehive is the best place for knowledge....

Okaaay, see you in 3 days for more lunacies....

sincerely.
