mykyby Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) Hello , I'm Nicolae ( mykyb) Bercsenyi, I'm living in Bucharest ,Romania.Modeling for a while now but not much a post guy, I'm just watching all those wonderful work you guys are doing here but finally I made my mind to post my last build of the year 2020 and what a better kit to do that then with the Tamyia 1/32 Mk-IX.I choose the mount of Pierre Clostermann MJ 586 from 602 Sqd, just because I love the paint work on that bird,.not much to say about the Tamyia kit, everyone knows it, I've used Barracuda cockpit bits, Eduard Brassin wheels,Master 20mm guns and Montex masks , needless to say that every roundels , letters and numbers was painted and for the data stenciling I used HGW wet transfer decals ( love them)I did some scratch building in the cockpit and I did the rails for the auxiliary fuel tank.Sadly I find out after I was done with the painting and installing of the undercarriage legs has no torsion link installed and I didn't want to do same damage trying to remove them, so I just let them on for the time being. Painted with Tamyia paints, weathered with oils and watercolour pencils and with some AK and MiG products. The plane is done but I want to make a nice stand for her and maybe I'll add some figures in the near future. That's been sad, I let you with the photos hoping that you'll like my work on this iconic airplane which I love the most.Happy modeling and A Happy New Year!!!!!!

noelh Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I like what I see but many of the photos are not visible. It could be though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 The close-ups of the detail work look fabulous, but at least a dozen photos seem to be missing, presumably overwiews. A pity, since the details look so enticing! Did you use Google for stroing the photos, perhaps? The "spacer.png" links seem to hint at that… Please republish using some other photo hosting site! Kind regards, Joachim 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAT69 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Your model shows the work of a quality oriented modeler. Very nicely done. That's a model you can be very proud of. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Walter E Kurtz Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 welcome ! Your modelling is fabulous! The close up shots show some fine work indeed. Thank you. I loved the canvas gun ports 'shot through' touch. Totally authentic and brilliantly executed ! It's what they did.. rearmed and doped over to stop the guns freezing at high altitude. At this scale its a detail that turns a fine model in to an outstanding one! Love your restrained approach to weathering too. ! My uncle, Sgt PC Brown s/n 1800332 RAF flew a Tempest V sortie with the famous man - Pierre Closterman in March 1945 with 56 Squadron. Nice to see one of his earlier steeds portrayed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mykyby Posted January 6, 2021 Author Share Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) Thank you all for your appreciation. I worked on it almost 8 months and I tried to make it one of my best models. I don't know if I succeeded but definitely is one of my best. I uploded some photos again and I hope this time won't be any problem.

bobsyouruncle Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 What a beauty that is. Very authentic feel to it with the extremely well done weathering. I love the exhaust stains and the fluid streaks that have ran down over it. Absolutely beautiful to look at. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
