Hello Dears !

Look  ! here's the way to be a stupid modeller !!

I spent some times to create a landing light cover….

Aaaaaand ???

WP_20190512_23_19_20_Pro

I did'nt put it on its place at the right time….

Now that will be funnier with the guns, rocket and U/C doors ….

Yesterday was the historic rally !! I get to my colleague's house situated on the track !!

It was fun ! TR-7, A-110, A full load od Escort, Ascona and Manta !!

We have had some ammos with us !!

WP_20190512_12_40_22_Pro

Pretty funny day...

Hello Dears,

Let's bring this thread to its completion !!

Now that the firefly join the Seafire, let's get back to this one !!

WP_20190619_22_36_49_Pro

The corsair is a huge fighter, but the Barracuda is a torpedo bomber...

That will be a big one huh !!

WP_20190619_20_51_37_Pro

There will be some work on this one too !!

Now wich one will join the Corsair MkII first ??

Barracuda ? or Gannet Hellcat ??

See you later friends !! 

Have a great modelling time !!

My Dad was an electrician of Seafires & Barracudas.  Was also trained on Corsairs.  April '45..

wow !! Now that's a background !!

Trained on Corsairs in April '45 ? so He was readied for the BPF ??

Having your kit judged by someone who has worked on the real thing !! 

It should a kind of stress, is'nt it ??

Sincerely.

Hello Dears,

I now start with the internals, I added the compass from anoter kit !

WP_20190711_19_56_08_Pro

Now correcting the stick, flat one and almost protruding from the cockpit...

WP_20190711_20_22_21_Pro

I don't know if she will sit beside the Corsair and the Hellcat this year but....

Take care Gents, especially the one living in So Cal !!

Hello Dears,

The compass was too low, so I carefully get it out !

WP_20190713_22_24_15_Pro

The seat is starting to look the part !

WP_20190713_22_30_36_Pro

More in a few days, evening work week is already back...

Hello Dears,

Well, Corsair and Hellcat are done... Even if these 2 brutes did'nt deserve the name of perfect Ladies...

To me the one with the bent wings is ...

It's about time to finish the Tungsten serie...

I lost my mojo a bit when I saw that the Barracuda was so empty...

Then the Brengun transkit did'nt help for that matter !

Well, I start the ribbing !!

IMG_20200614_001600

Still, I mish mashed this kit...

There will be an Accurate miniature bomb under the SH Barrcuda !

IMG_20200614_002550

Aaaand eduard bomb hung under an ICM Mustang...

My good Lady is fascinated by the sundown... And take some great piccies...

Here's an example...

IMG_3576

Have a great modelling sunday !!

And good father day to all the father among you all !!

Sincerely.

Hello Dears,

Another one that I will finish this year and let the thread go BM's abyss....

IMG_20210509_232258

Still I don't understand why CA has detailed the 1/72 one interior, and let the 1/48 so void ????

I collected a lot of switch boxes and so for having something more realistic...

Then a Wildcat for completing my Tungsten serie ??

Have a great modelling week !!

Sincerely.

Hi CC 

I have one of these planned for my FAA thread,  great to see one being built, I have the Brengun set too, so more scratchbuilding ahead then, thanks for the heads up.

Great work 

Chris

You're welcome Chris

Alas the Brengun kit did'nt help for the internals...:deadhorse:

But I will save or use templates since the next 'cuda will have folded wings...

Following the master @TheBaron on this path....

Hello Dears,

I'm looking at my started kits... Hum.... It's time to do what has been planned last year....

I worked on this one too...

IMG_20220121_232740

I'll use the resin parts as templates and follow my own way....

That will make my Operation Tungsten almost complete...

Corsair, Gannet and Barracuda...

I wonder myself if there was more aircraft models involved...

Seafires or Martlets guarding the fleet, but I'm not sure at all...

I'll check my files... or maybe a helping hand from BM beehive ???

Stay safe Gents !! and enjoy modelling !!

Sincerely.
