gunpowder17 Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 This lockdown situation gave me a little more time to do some modelling. I have given up on 1/32 and 1/24 i think. I keep buying them , then loads of aftermarket , starting them , getting bored with them and selling them on. Time for a change. I want to build good quality models , that actually fit on a shelf. I will not be using aftermarket if i can help it. I have been getting more into the Pacific Theatre and so have decided to go with planes from that. I will be sticking to Accurate miniatures or italeri , Tamiya and Hasegawa. I really dont have the patience for poor fitting kits anymore. This kit has really bought the fun back into modelling. Beautifully detailed and easy to build. I have a great time just building from the box. The problem is i think i need the rest of the F4U line now! Apologies for pics i took them on my Iphone 26 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAT69 Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 I really like what you did with the landing gear wells and the exhaust staining on the underside. Glad to hear it was a fun build. Like you, I don't have the patience for kits that don't fit well. Puttying and sanding are not my favorite parts of model building, thought I've done and still do quite a bit, given the nature of my kit stash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon J Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Lovely model and I think you are approaching things correctly by scaling back to do things you actually finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunpowder17 Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share Posted May 13, 2020 Thanks Guys. I have started the Tamiya p-38 and thats a sublime kit , but they are just quicker to build and easier to store than 1/32 1/24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
