I've got a couple more Aldi Airfix Mustangs in the cupboard so we're sorted for the future. Full marks for your glass-half-full approach Ali. These things are character building indeed. Glad you've more in the stash. Best. Q 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spadgent Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 What a shame. I was following along as I’m looking at mustangs at the moment and this little wonder looked splendid. Accidents happen. A venom you say. Nice. I’ll pop over and have a looksie. Johnny P.S. Wonderful cockpit on this one though. You can mirror it when you get around to another in the future. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will attempt to bottle lightning twice with the cockpit, when I get to Round Two on this one. Cheers, Alistair 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliGauld Posted September 30, 2021 Author Share Posted September 30, 2021 And finally I have resurrected this thread. There will be another build included in this. I've never built an Me-262 so this should be fun. Sprue shots for the Messerschmitt And the decals, The Mustang ones have the Invasion stripes so I'm going to cheat and use them on Amorous Len. But the 262 will be done in this scheme I'll try and restart this tonight, but I'm off to see the new Bond Film, will have more tomorrow. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy Mr Bond - I would like a review but without any spoilers, please Cheers, Mark Thanks Mark, Quick summation. A good Bond movie with lots of lovely musical cues and items in shot harking back to previous Bond films. Typically very little characterisation for Rami Malek as the main villain, but that's not a surprise as only Cristoph Waltz has really ever carried it off perfectly. A bit talky in places but a suitably proper send off for Daniel Craig . I enjoyed it. Hope that helps, Cheers, Alistair 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely agree that Cristoph Waltz has played the best villain in very long time, though, and it sounds like he's held onto his crown! Whoever plays Bond next has a tough act to follow.....

AliGauld Posted October 1, 2021 Author Share Posted October 1, 2021 Plastic was cut, primer was sprayed followed by some ColourCoats Zinc Chromate Green, RLM 66, RLM 02 and Tamiya Nato Black. Edit: I've just realised I'll need to respray the wheel wells RLM 02. Don't know what I was thinking.

I wanted to get started as I'm back on the night shift tomorrow and then off on a bit of a jaunt for a week on Tuesday. Now it's started I'll maybe actually do something about it rather than just thinking about it. Cheers, Alistair 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliGauld Posted October 18, 2021 Author Share Posted October 18, 2021 The digit was removed and some progress made. Firstly the Mustang Dissolved putty applied to the wings. Some fairly shoddy detail painting on the fuselage halves and cockpit. And then the 262. Everything will get a wash and light dry brush and then some glue to bodge it all together. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
