Tomoshenko Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 That is one seriously shiny bird 😎 What are your thoughts on applying panel line washes to it? Clearly you won't be applying any weathering, unless of course you have another session on the Jamesons with Nigel and on returning home think: "I know I've just had a great idea, what could possibly go wrong..." I think some very subtle panel lines in a light grey perhaps would set it off nicely and add to the contrast of those wonderfully striking colours. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y'know Tom, I might just try that; I've got some Paynes grey oil paint and turps. That said in real life the Airfix trenches panel lines are very pronounced and catch the light without any help! And who knows the jameson may actually help both Nigel and I,: There's something very helicoptery about to transpire In Camp Nigel, unless I lost a whole load of bits fondling it in a bar... 3 hours ago, CedB said: Very smart - well done that man! 5 hours ago, Corsairfoxfouruncle said: This turned out great Anil ...

azureglo Posted March 3, 2019 Author Share Posted March 3, 2019 And we're done! That makes five for 2019, woohoo!! A few details. Early pitot from Albion Alloys tube For @06/24, my twee wing tip lights New thing Uschi Fine I've used the Superfine for 1/72 but its ludicrously thin and un-pick-up-able. The Standard is a bit heavy and any of them are way finer than the undersea cable thickness of EZ line for 1/72.. and I haven't the patience of @clive_t to halve EZ line...Oh and another light of some sort for the Mighty Gwinn's pleasure ( or not) I muffed the cockpit by not painting the coaming part black but hey, they used a light grey primer in other places, maybe they were experimenting? After all this is an exhibition display plane ( see below) Quickboost guns, pretty! Look Ma, a spinner! Hacked together and reprofiled Hurricane jobbie from the spares box, pretty sure this prop was made by Curtiss, not Hamilton but the decals are on... Pre RFI Beauty shots ( too lazy to set up new flash head setc. and the sundowner has been poured) First off, the inspiration: Note properly deflected ailerons for the banking, you heard me, I said banking! Guns need glueing straight, just pushed in for now Rat-a-ta-rata-rat-a-ta-rata-rat-a-ta-rata-rat-a-ta-rata-rat-a-ta-rata-rat-a-ta-rata-rat-a-ta-rata-rat-a-ta-rata-rat-a-ta-rata-rat-a-ta-rata-rat-a-ta-rata-rat-a-ta-rata-rat-a-ta-rata-rat-a-ta-rata-rat-a-ta-rata-rat-a-ta-rata-rat-a-ta-rata-rat-a-ta-rata-rat-a-ta-rata! Lots of artistic license: Cowl should have wider flat upper intake not none, guns are wrong, should have two cowl guns and troughs, spinner too pointy, cowl flaps should be different, Rivet no. 125863 should be removed, secondary warp core inverted, eps conduits misaligned, incorrect flux capacitor installed etc. Who cares?, It looks like a honey and is different enough from the cookie cutter over weathered spits/109s/190s ( look who's talking!). Makes me smile and no military history was harmed (or quoted) in this build. Oh and look, its based on a real one with the undercarriage up and no plastic dummy in the cockpit, drone that babeee !! Well that draws this therapy thread to a close temporarily; having built six back to back Airfix kits, I need a change so I'm going to start something different for my workbench thread (s?) and restart this when I'm have the jones for Margate's finest. Many thanks for tagging along plus the encouragement of my often ham fisted efforts -I'll put up an RFI later next week. So in passing, loved doing this, got a decent cabinet full of models ( despite some being whisked away periodically by "admirers"). Learnt that it's easier to finish a model than whine about mojo loss etc. Practised my airbrushing, masking,seam filling, did a few conversions, made up stuff, respected history, got dirty, came clean, was grounded but now I'm airborne and all those years I said I would practice and get my skills developing? Guess what? I did! Building is fun, rivet counting less so ( for me at least) and of all my hobbies this is the cheapest and easiest. My concentration and confidence for other things is positively brimming ( which may mean fewer builds this year) but then, that was the point of doing this: learning to finish things and getting the pleasure of seeing a thing through to the finish. Also, got addicted to sniffing CA, doh! Cheery byes, styrene wranglers! Anil 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a blast! Looking forward to seeing what happens next! Aww, shucks, they wuz just fer y'all now! Seriously the uschi stuff is lovely but man you need to start with fine or standard, the SF is near invisible and you'll avoid it forever. BTW If I ever find it I have second unused Uschi Standard bought at Telford last year that may be going cheap in the buy and sell section...but that means going into the LOFT!!! 😱 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup thats Esci, as far as I know the TISEO was only fitted to port the wing, all will make sense here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
