bigbadbadge Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 More progress Spitfire fuselage and wings now together And I am pleased that the struts are in with minimal adjustment. This was the bit I was most worried about. Thanks for looking in comments most welcome Chris 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggles87 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I started a multiple build recently, and now instead of not doing very much with one, I’m not doing very much with three. What scale is the Moth please? John 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found it quite enjoyable to build after all the concern initially. Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris I have got an RAAF Airocobra I'm busting to start, but with the Lysander it might just end up as a hippacrocapig 🤣. Maybe the master of multibuilds @corsaircorp could offer advice? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard of that before, what a cracking word, love it. I am just going off to paint some details on the Moth now Whilst on Lunch break. Thank crunchy it's Friday too.

bigbadbadge Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 Moth struts and tank painted And this is another biplane I have been working on and will be rigging soon, top wing is just resting in place. This is the Revell Stearman and is a lovely kit and fits together very well, the decals were a bit of a struggle and I have repainted all the red apart from the dude strip and logos Thanks for looking Chris 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles87 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 The Stearman is beautiful. I do like biplanes but I just cannot do rigging, I found it difficult enough 45 years ago when my fingers were relatively supple but now they behave like overstuffed sausages it’s virtually impossible.

John Thanks John, rigging is a bit scary, I will be doing that tonight hopefully. I do like a biplane too. Though I might struggle with the 72nd Felixstowe I have in the stash!!! 40 minutes ago, Dunny said: Chris - a Stearman too? This is turning into a circus! Focus on the Spit please...

Moons ago, I stayed on just one kit, but when a problem get on your way..... There's a risk of doing something wrong on account of finishing the da.... kit So, I changed my mind and start something else...

You did a great job in correcting the spine of your Spit !! Congratulations Chris !! How possibly did I miss this build ?? May I take a seat ? At the bar of course... Then I have to take care of @Martian's thread.. Are you showing up at the party ? The general will show up monday or a bit later... Are these 2 guys going for hollydays together ?? It will be frightening for the pubs on their way For now, I'm at work in my car, I can't see all the pics but I will catch up for sure...

The spine on the HB kit looked plain odd and so had to deal with that. Lots still to do. The Revell Stearman is the new tool version from 2015/16 and is the fully clothed version of their Kaydet kit. Its very nice. Will see i am slightly intimidated with some of the larger build threads as not that knowledgeable in matters of certain machines and so not sure and you feel something of an outsider. I did start following but time does not allow me to read all the long threads but may be able to swing by at some point. Thanks Chris 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted September 26, 2020 Author Share Posted September 26, 2020 Hi all Rigging on the Moth, used invisible thread secured in a shallow hole one end and right through the wing at the opposite end. Also been working on the Prop. Tge backing plate and boss from the kit have been used along with Grey Matters spinner and blades.

Marklo Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 (edited) I have to admit when I see Spitfire, hurricane, me109 or fw190 in the thread title I tend not to go there (don’t get me wrong I love all four and have all one of each in my collection and a couple of each in my stash) but the moth drew me in.

Thanks Mark I do love a Spitfire and have lots in the stash to do. Each to their own though as if we all liked the same it will beca boring place. The Moth is a nice little kit and has gone together quite well. I will put up a pic or two later as wings will be painted along with rigging and will very nearly be finished. Just got to make the fuel gauge and add some ancillaries. Thanks for visiting Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
