modelling minion Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Great to see you and your Storch back in action Glynn. I have to say that this is the best looking model made from the Airfix kit that I have ever seen, the painting looks fantastic. Good to have you back mate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learstang Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Excellent job on this Storch! I'm old enough to remember the kit (new!) in the blue plastic. Regards, Jason 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hewy Posted June 17, 2020 Author Share Posted June 17, 2020 @Jinxman @PlaStix, @modelling minion , @Dansk @Learstang, @Corsairfoxfouruncle, thanks very much guys,i appreciate it ,its good to finally get a bit of time for modelling and tinternet browsing, glad you like it so far , but i reckon the canopy is going to look best masked up, due to a little distortion and thickness,and the fact its three pieces glued together, (i know fogged a up canopy was the norm back then) it did only cost me £7‐00, but i reckon i removed at least £5‐00 worth of flash Glynn 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockeyboy76 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 That’s looking great. I need a Storch kit to go with my Spitfire flown by Harry Broadhurst, then I can personalise it with HB on the sides. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need a Storch kit to go with my Spitfire Maybe the academy 72nd kit would be a slightly better choice H, just a tad more up to date ,(about 30 years) although it may come in at more than the £7‐00 i paid for this , Cheers H 13 minutes ago, stevej60 said: That's looking a little gem Glynn great work to date.

AdrianMF Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Wowzas! I love the sand colour - it really gives the surface interest. Hope you can get it in before the end date. If not, we will see you in KUTA GB? Regards, Adrian 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hewy Posted August 16, 2020 Author Share Posted August 16, 2020 Bugger! Green squiggles be dammed, ok hands up ,i thought the paint looked ok before my attempt to apply the green squiggles, but alas they were beyond me ,after a lame attempt ,a rapid repaint was the order of the day in a vain attempt to save face 🙄, here it is with its warts, Apologies to paul and craig for long periods of inactivity, in what has been a superb gb 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Well I think she is a cracker Glynn. Considering the fight the old girl put up you have done a grand job on her, and even without the squiggles (always beyond my abilities) she looks great. Well done mate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flipping well mine too, i had a great idea (🤔) well i thought it was , a felt tip pen! Do the squiggles in that and "bobs your old ladys brother" ooh dear, out with the pencil and a light draw of the lines and onto the felt tip(no practice) , it did not go well, first off the choice of felt tip, it might have been a bit harsh chemically, one pass was ok two passes stripped the paint below 😳 believe it or not i cracked on, thinking a bit of weathering would disguise it 😋 nope , lol sometimes they turn out ,somtimes not! Cheers craig I'm glad you like the fall out! , Ps ,the canopy took a stupid amount of time to get that clear,😂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Hey if we don't try these things Glynn then we will never know if they work or not, she turned out great in the end mate. And you have nothing to apologise to Paul and I about, life gets in the way for all of us and this is just a hobby, and besides that I think that you have helped a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief Cohiba Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 That's a great one! I think I can remember to try and have build one of these back in the days. I sincerely doubt it went somewhere even close to yours! 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffB Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 What a great looking Storch . It was one of the Airfix kits that I always wanted to build, but somehow never did! Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
