Airfix 1/144 F20 If it’s in bold then it’s very nearly finished. Priorities are the Tonka and the F100. But I’m kind of enjoying the P47 and the Fokker so they may get finished first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted August 23, 2022 Author Share Posted August 23, 2022 The Swallow is back on the bench and rigging started, then of course I noticed a gaff so obvious that I didn’t notice it ( go figure that one out) can you see it. Yes like it’s builder the rounders are eccentric &@#%…. So do I live with it or fix it. Decided to live with it but couldn’t, so the port rounded has been overpainted and will be re applied…. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marklo Posted August 24, 2022 Author Share Posted August 24, 2022 (edited) Tail control wires and rigging added, all insignia sorted and a prop added; the Swallow is finally finished. Which m and I’m getting close to a Sopwith shelf (Pup, Swallow, Mouse, Salamander, TF1 and a Triplane, with a Dolphin started and a 1 1/2 strutter, a Snipe and several Camels in the stash ) , I’ll take some RFI pics tomorrow. The P47 isn’t too far behind Edited August 24, 2022 by Marklo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdrianMF Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Wow! Nice checkers on the cowling. I built the Academy 1/72 kit a while back in a Blitzbuild with the same checkers on the tail surfaces. I hope your decals went on easier! And identification stripes too. Decal heaven (or maybe the other place). Regards, Adrian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marklo Posted August 31, 2022 Author Share Posted August 31, 2022 Got this in Lidl yesterday evening It’s an A2 cutting board with (some) useful accessories for only €12.99. At that price I’m tempted to go back and get a few more. On the modelling front the DVII is progressing well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marklo Posted August 31, 2022 Author Share Posted August 31, 2022 (edited) My wip is all over the place and I keep losing parts, my portable spray booth is propped up on two IKEA plastic boxes and I’m also extremely short on display shelving. So I had a brain wave, why not solve all three dilemmas together ( all very first world problems I might add) I’ll build a unit sized to fit the spray booth with removable drawers for modelling WIP and free up two shelves in my older shelving unit. And here it is, the shelving unit of doom, very quickly fabricated from some left over decking and a few lengths of timber with repurposed plastic seed trays as drawers, each of which can hold 1 or 2 projects… next up a thorough reorg of my bench and WIP!!!

Marklo Posted September 8, 2022 Author Share Posted September 8, 2022 As well as spending three hours shopping today I actually managed to mask and get the dark green in these three, sigh. Not a bad days modelling . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Crikey and I thought I had a lot on. Good grief Mark. Great work on these and great idea re the drawers/unit too. Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted September 14, 2022 Author Share Posted September 14, 2022 (edited) Well the F20, F100 and the B58 are almost complete. And I reckon the F5A, F15, and Tornado are pretty close too. Should things go well there are a few others quite close to finished too. Getting the WIP to single figures this week is actually a possibility. My aim is to get as much of the WIP done before the 24th and the Prototypes GB for which I probably will build quite a projects.

Marklo Posted September 15, 2022 Author Share Posted September 15, 2022 So for today, the Tonka and the Strike Eagle are ready for Decals. The F20 is completely finishing and the F100 just needs a few bits added. Well on track to finish the top 6 by tomorrow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
