An AW Atalanta vac to finish by Thursday, Heinkel 111 Sat 25th, Conversion of a Marauder to Highball to get properly stuck into, paint and finish Whitley with Deerhound engines, Two Junkers F 13s to do final finishing off - and a four bedroom house to decorate. My Bloch 200 arrived yesterday so will look into that soon for this Heller build ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Yep @Adrian Hills, when the chips are down and life and modelling seem to be insurmountable challenges, what better way to answer the call then by starting another plastic kit! So C’mon my friend... what ya waiting for? Cheers and all the best.. Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian Hills Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 This one is for Rabbit Leader (David). My kit has arrived and by Thursday I will have finished my 1/144 Vac Atalanta and will start my TV Reconnaissance build thread. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had my eye in that one for a while (the Amiot 143's equally dowdy sister) do I'll be following your build with interest. Mind if I ask what schemes the kit offers?

Wez Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 The Amiot decided to undersling its bus shelter, the Bloch put it out in front, when you think about it, the Loire 130 just put a hull on it... ...all this from the country that went on to produce the Mirage series, quite baffling really. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Hills Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 TonyOD, as this is a conversion with a cut away showing TV recon gear too busy a paint job might aesthetically detract from the focus of the subject. However, I’m yet to be persuaded as the multi-colour scheme suggested in the kit looks most attractive 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Great going @Adrian Hills. I have to say, out of all of Heller’s ‘block nosed’ bombers, this Bloch 210 would be one I’d consider tackling myself. We still haven’t seen too many of these newly boxed classic kits down under and am sure I’d snap one up if one presented itself at my LHS. Good luck and all the best juggling everything on your plate. Cheers.. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyOD Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) A further delivery from Messrs. Kingkit. The Revell Arado is a 1991 reboxing, there was a Heller Humbrol option but I went with the newer Revell for the sake of a safer bet with the decals. I need to have a word now, it's getting silly. Although building every 1/72 Heller original seems a doable, if formidable, project. Edited October 16, 2020 by TonyOD 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends upon the colour scheme, green into yellow = edible, yellow with brown spots = inedible (I don't like 'em too ripe). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
