daront Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Hi all. I thought i would post a few pics of my completed models. 90%of theses models have been built whilst i have been deployed on various operations around the world, so only had the basic paints, brushes kits etc. I am no where near the level of the vast majority of you all on here, so please be gentle. Slowly getting back into building models now i have more time at home and slowly building up my experience levels, trying out new techniques such as weathering. Pictures have been taken with my camera phone so please excuse the quality of the images. Thoughts and comments always welcome. regards Daron 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phildagreek Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 A smart collection! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72modeler Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Daron, Must have been a five-year deployment, as that is how long it would take me to finish that many models! Very nice collection and very nice builds, considering the circumstances and available supplies. Looks like some Airfix and Hobbyboss kits? Keep 'em coming and welcome to BM!

Mike Mike thanks for the reply. A mixture of a number of kits tbh. Haha, felt like some of my deployments lasted for 5 years......But i manage around 1 model per deployment so these have been on my shelf for a while now.

stevehnz Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I'm impressed with your line up, more so in view of your at times limited resources, to my eye, & compared to my ability, they're very good. The 262 could go some canopy framing though, only thing I could pick you up on. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Nice builds. Shame about the Mustang FF-943 with upside down stars though...and lack of Anti dazzle on the nose of it.?! Otherwise good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Hi Daron. Great to see your builds on here. They do look great and even more so when we know the circumstances in which they were made. I think you have done a brilliant job with them! Very well done! I look forward to seeing more of your builds. Kind regards, Stix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey-1980 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Cracking set of aircraft there! Perfect way to distract from the environment of your deloyments too I would imagine!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil.C Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Nice work Daron. I have trouble getting that sort of quality at home! I would imagine model making is a great way to occupy yourself in your down time even with limited resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winenut Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I really like the builds and the schemes congratulations! If you can it's cool to post info about the kit (Airfix, Frog, Revell, etc ) and also some of the finishes used (paint Tamiya,Humbrol, Gunze/Acrylic/Enamel etc) Looking great ! Love to see more Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glatisant Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Good stuff. Nice selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daront Posted September 14, 2018 Author Share Posted September 14, 2018 thanks to everyone who left comments. Means alot all the kind words and also the constructive comments. All the models have been brush painted using Tamyia paints. The models are a mixture of builds from various companys, but mostly airfix. The typhoon was built whilst i was in op shader based on my own typhoon sqn i was on at the time, the mighty 6 Sqn. fun fact, the me262 is very tail heavy, i made it in afghan when i was in kabul, didnt have any weights available so the nose is full of afghan sand and stones wrapped in cling flim 😀 Again thanks to all regards daron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
