general melchett Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Good progress Johnny, starting to come together nicely. Quote Oh wow!! That was you? I bought that mag because of this build. You did a really great job. The PE looked a bit fiddly mind. fingers crossed this one will turn out half as good as your one. Thanks for that, I have no doubt you'll do a great job on the old beast, I must admit, I really like the look of the two-seater. The PE wasn't difficult to fit really and to be honest, having built many 1/700th ships packed with PE, these parts seem kind of big. (the state of my eyesight though, would probably disagree)... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Lyttle Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 The Me looks good! The Czechs inherited several of these, including the 2 seater, and used them into the 1950s. Known as the Avia S92 And some of them were done out in either silver paint or bare metal. They don't half look good. Some really interesting prototypes and experimental stuff tried out in the last stages of the war, including one with a single enormous gun in the nose that must be up there with the Mosquito Tsetse 6pounder. Lovely new venue too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookytooth Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Ooooooooh you moved work area, a bench with a view!!! Nowt beats a bit of natural light to work in. Oh , and the 262 is coming along nicely too. Simon. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Just did a huge catch up. I have to agree with the general point of view, Nice. Also, it goes to show that a good shift around can be good for you. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbudde Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Hello, that looks fine in all aspects and a look now on your old church could always have something inspiring. No matter in what directions. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(It's on the second slat up - is there a prize?) Nice mottling practice. Nice pre-shade. Nice Thanks Ced. Prize? Yes!! You are the best at spotting things for sure. You win...🤔 all the little pilots I have left. Do you still need them? I’m loving that blind, it’s like a sticky fly trap. 🤣 On 1/28/2020 at 7:03 AM, giemme said: Yes, overall nice progress, in both scales Ciao Thanks G On 1/28/2020 at 9:48 AM, general melchett said: Good progress Johnny, starting to come together nicely.

I saw the one you built for sale at Tornado today. Very tempting. But I can’t stop thinking about the Revell 1/32 one. 😱 On 1/28/2020 at 11:57 AM, rob Lyttle said: The Me looks good!

I'm going to check out MrDecal (in Poland) see if he has any of these covered in the listing. I just received his decal sheet for the Silver Spitfire G-IRTY and they look like the BUSINESS to me. Not individually done.... It's all one sheet, and they'll need trimming out, but looks good to me. I've done a 262 in foil already, some considerable time ago, just because I wanted to.....

Timmas Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Mein Gott! This is cracking on a pace. I've been a bit pre-occupied with real life stuff (elderly mum in hospital again for the second time in a year) and two extra pages have appeared as if from nowhere. I'm really enjoying this Johnny...and your workspace looks terrific too, with what looks like bags of natural light. Lovely! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I got this in the post. As I’m planning to build..... This thing ! ❤️ Join in if you like. It’s not for a while so no hurry. More 262 action soon as I get to the desk. Take care y’all.

Wince Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Xf21 is very good but might need toning back? I used to use it as a lad on late war Luftwaffe aircraft and also raf aircraft. I will ask at tornado if they are getting some ak paints in as they do look good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
