PZRGREN Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 You have out done yourself. I find it hard to believe it is in 1/72 scale! A work of art if there ever was one. regards, Roger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You ran a superb GB as can be seen from all the wonderful builds in the Gallery! Not only fantastic quality in there but also a wonderfully wide range of subject matter. Very well done! 59 minutes ago, dogsbody said: Beauty! That's come out looking great. Chris Hi Chris and thank you!

modelling minion Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 That is a great result Stix, it really is hard to believe that it is 1/72 scale. I think your diorama and figures have also worked out really well, despite the figures being a pain. Really sorry that working from home is having such a negative effect on your spare time, I hope that things get back to normal for you soon mate so that you can entertain us with more of your brilliant builds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianMF Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Looks terrific! The Airfix Wildcat/Martlet is a smashing little kit and you've certainly done it justice. Regards, Adrian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 What a cracking finish and brush paint masterclass. Excellent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 That's a superb finish all round Stix The master brush painter strikes again! I see you use Humbrol matt varnish( I presume from the bottle) do yo thin it for brushing? I thin it with white spirit but still can't get that really matt finish you do which is a bit of a disappointment,mine's fine for modern subject's but still a bit shiny for WW2 aircraft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sorry for the very slow reply to your question - this build went a bit to the back of my mind. I actually use rattlecan Humbrol Matt Varnish rather than the bottled or tinned stuff. It's always been my one concession to spraying (well, apart from my Porsche tractor build in the Blitzbuild BG! - gloss bright red would have been too difficult to paint neatly in such a short time period!) Thank you for your comments and question. Kind regards, Stix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Blooming brillaint. A Revell F4F was one of the first models I ever made & painted, not very well I might add but it has left me with a soft spot for this tubby fighter. Yours has caught the look of it wonderfully well to my m eye. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
