corsaircorp Posted July 9, 2018 Author Share Posted July 9, 2018 Okay, First an off topic question, I need help about my Il-2 Can I call to a friend ?? A sturmovik anoarak may be, Oh oh Dear @Learstang I'm not convinced by the 330 green for this finish... So any idea ?? I brewed the soviet blue and I'm glad of the result but here for the green 🤔 So Jason, and any other ones, what's your best bet ?? Then back to fonderie... But a little introduction before the great laugh, That explain a lot … 🤪 More to come... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsaircorp Posted July 9, 2018 Author Share Posted July 9, 2018 Well, let's have a closer view... Flashes ?? Did I hear flashes somewhere ?? The fitting now… Well, no fitting at all !! The clear parts ??? No framing at all, that's far more funny !! Every one here know that Rene Magritte was a Belgian… So I call this pic "This is not a Hole !!" The part on the right corner of the PE fret is the control stick…. Aaaaand what's this ??? I bet for the craddle of a babyTroll, but it can be a dwarf either but NO Dear Gents, it must be a Martin Baker Mk IV... Someting like that in fact But we have a very good ejection handle here !!! Precisely my Dear it's a handle for a Troll... One cannot miss such a handle, the only problem is that the Hood cannot be closed with it….. Enough fun for today, I'll save a bit for the future…. Would I have a well fashioned brain, I will bin the whole thing right now….. BUT, NO !! However SMW 2019 is may be a bit optimistic…. Sincerely.

Martian Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Well, we did warn you but would you listen? Oh no, you knew it all and now you come crying to us for tea and sympathy...………….. Sympathetic of Mars 👽 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 (edited) You have a right to be sceptical of that green. It looks like it should be more olive to be a proper AMT-4 Green. I find that Testors Model Master Interior Green is a good match, in 1/72nd scale. Now what that translates to in Humbrolese I'm afraid I don't know, as I tend to stick with MM enamels. I hope this is of some help. Best Regards, Jason P.S. Rene Magritte is one of my favourite painters, by the way.

Head in the clouds. Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 This is looking interesting on just about every level; Madness.....check. 10/10 Workload....check 11/10 Bumps in the road.....check 10/10 Subject matter..... bang on the money, especially the Griffon and the FM Dragonfly. Good luck with it Corsaircorp, I think you have a fight on your full but capable hands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsaircorp Posted June 26, 2019 Author Share Posted June 26, 2019 Hello Dears ! The F4U-2 is nearing the RFI, so I spent some time gluing the main bits... More putty and filling ahead ! Okay !! Decision almost made ! I will make this one but I think that the right paints are Sky and EDSG ?? At least I suppose !! If one of you can confirm it, @Ex-FAAWAFU may be ? Be carefull with the heat wave !! Stay hydrated Sincerely. CC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tzulscha Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Mon cher Corsaircorp. Vous êtes en colère, vous le savez bien? Deux kits FM à la fois? Peut-être une sorte de tendance masochiste? Néanmoins, je pense que vous allez finir avec votre flair et votre panache habituels. J'ai moi-même l'un des hélicoptères FM et je serai très intéressé de voir vos progrès là-bas! (note de côté, je ne parle pas vraiment beaucoup français, j'ai juste un très bon traducteur! ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsaircorp Posted July 1, 2019 Author Share Posted July 1, 2019 Why should I be in Anger ?? Mad ? I'm for sure !! Sometimes Mad is translated as En colère, which really mean "in anger" or Crazy which is more appropriated !! Tendance masochiste !! Ooo h yes, for sure !! What is reassuring is that I'm not alone here on BM 🤣 BM that can be translated Brit modeloonies !! Do you have the Flying banana ?? I think that our now famous extraterrestrial has done one !! You surely know who I'm meaning Pour Fonderie !! On va s'y remettre !! But I must finish my 2 Roc for November !! Sincerely ! CC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzulscha Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Je suppose que j'aurais dû dire fou. Oui, ça doit être ça. Nous semblons tous être fous ici. Je me sens chez moi. J'ai un exemplaire du H-21 Shawnee maintenant que vous en parlez. J'ai été intimidé par cela. Je suppose que vous devez simplement supprimer tout ce qui ne ressemble pas à un hélicoptère. Simple non? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LorenSharp Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 You know when I first saw the box art of the Griffon, my first thought was , Well this is what happens when you put an F-16 and a Mirage over night in the same hangar. As the Late Arte Johnson would say.... Verrrrry interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
