mackem01 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Nice production line. Your not only bashing the plastic but some of the lesser used paints too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted September 10, 2021 Author Share Posted September 10, 2021 Working on the AHRLAC a bit Definitely a real red letter day, I finally got around to sorting out my paints and glues. With one or two ( ahem) duplicates to go into storage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted September 15, 2021 Author Share Posted September 15, 2021 (edited) Another red letter day; rearranged the WIP shelf and the shelf of doom ( items on the right hand side) the Junkers and the Morane are WIP. And the rest of the WIP and slightly less doomed. Edited September 15, 2021 by Marklo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many really, but I consider the 109s as a single project, if I can just find the tail wheels I can start to move them along but in a positive note I did find the missing decal sheet for the G2 today Edited September 15, 2021 by Marklo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marklo Posted September 19, 2021 Author Share Posted September 19, 2021 (edited) My two little F16s are done. Not bad could be a bit neater but look reasonably good on the shelf. More photos in the GB gallery. I think finishing the Morane Saulnier and the two high wing builds are the next order of business. No I just realised the Bristol GB ends in two weeks, so the three Bristols will probably get worked on next. Doable in two weeks hmm we’ll see….

Marklo Posted September 19, 2021 Author Share Posted September 19, 2021 The current state of the two scouts. The upper wings are done. So both need a nose, an interior and an undercarriage. Won’t get too upset if I miss the GB deadline, will probably be a bit less ambitious when signing up for future multiple overlapping GBs 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only, no, but I get to put in about an hour or two each day. I probably spend more time planning what to do next than actually modelling.

Marklo Posted September 24, 2021 Author Share Posted September 24, 2021 V1 and the III/JG 53 E4 are back on the bench and done. Otherwise working away on my high wing builds and my three Bristols. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted October 12, 2021 Author Share Posted October 12, 2021 The two scouts are almost done. as is the Junkers And the Graham White type20. Must finish the two 109s I think all they need is the rf line. Then it’s the Italian G2 and one of the G6s probably the Swiss. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marklo Posted October 20, 2021 Author Share Posted October 20, 2021 (edited) My Dad passed away last week and we had the funeral today, so not a lot of bench time, but I did make a little balsa chuck glider as a gift for the service to remember him, modelling was the biggest shared interest we had, although he was more into flying models he was a keen scale modeller too. I thought this looked suitably nineteen fifties and would have been the kind of thing he would have built as a kid. im hoping he’ll be looking down with approval on my future modelling activities Edited October 20, 2021 by Marklo 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 So sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad Mark, the glider is a nice touch fella. Great job. Please accept my sincere condolences to you and your family. Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandsaw Steve Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Hi Marklo, Condolences on your loss. The ‘1950’s glider’ looks terrific. Very best wishes, Bandsaw Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted October 22, 2021 Author Share Posted October 22, 2021 (edited) Haven’t gotten near the bench in the last few days owing to my Dad and my ME flaring up a bit. But I started reading this I’m only as far as Fokker but it’s proving to be a goldmine of source material. So far I want to build an Aviatik DVII, a Halberstadt DII and at least one of the Fokker V1,V2 and V3 series ( the line which more or less led to the DVII)and a V4( the Dr1 prototype) This is the V1, way ahead of its time. Of course trying to find drawings led me to this, and I managed to order up a copy for less than a tenner including postage. I’m positively dizzy with anticipation or maybe that’s my ME.

Marklo Posted October 24, 2021 Author Share Posted October 24, 2021 Been resin casting and molding today. Three engines( not perfect but will be fine inside a cowl) four sets of wheels three seats, eight Vickers/Spandaus and the ends of the ARLAAC winglets. I can now finish the Bristols and my Sopwith Swallow. The J6 is very nearly done. And the type 20 isn’t that far behind. Although I really must finish my two French Fancy entries. I have two weeks. Should be more than enough time. The Morane Saulnier only needs the tail control wires, prop, engine and wheels added. The triplane should be a fairly quick build. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted October 28, 2021 Author Share Posted October 28, 2021 Mostly working on my high wing GB trio at the moment. All 1:48 scale, all scratchbuilt. All three are proceeding along nicely. The Junkers is almost finished, the Graham White needs rigging and a few bits added, the AHRLAC is the furthest behind, I’d say it’s about 80% done but should progress pretty quickly from here, the only big job left on it is the cockpit interior and scratching two ejector seats…, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LorenSharp Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 They look pretty good there Marklo, especially the nearly completed Junkers. Keep up the great work! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marklo Posted November 2, 2021 Author Share Posted November 2, 2021 Sometimes you have to spoil yourself a trip to the local toy shop. I mean I couldn’t let the stash become depleted. Plus that’s me sorted for the Mig 21 GB if it wins the bunfight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
