modelling minion Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Wow! That has come on leaps and bounds Paul. She is looking very nice indeed, and would be a prime candidate for your weathering GB proposal. Can I ask how the decals behaved? They look like they settled down nicely.

modelling minion Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Hi Paul, hope that you are okay as we haven't heard from you in a while. A gentle nudge to remind you that the GB ends in 2 weeks time and it would be great if you could finish your lovely model in time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A long-story short: My one-year old daughter got ill and we’ve been very affected by it and I lost the point of modellling for a while and it put aspects of life into perspective but she seems all good now and we hope that continues. I have this evening got back on the horse and back to the bench and painted the yellow noses on the bombs. I think I can bring this in on the deadline, theres only minor work left. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 First off mate you have nothing to apologise for, family ALWAYS comes first. I am very glad to hear that your daughter seems to be better now, I sincerely hope that she continues to be well. When things like this happen it helps to put things into perspective doesn't it, and modelling is just a hobby, the best one mind you but a hobby none the less. Your A-4 is fantastic mate and will look superb in the gallery, and we have a 2 week extension to the deadline now so it doesn't finish until the 20th. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been ages since I was at the bench, I’m very rusty but some wonderful finishes in the gallery since my last visit to inspire isn’t there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dansk Posted June 12, 2021 Author Share Posted June 12, 2021 (edited) Here she is fellas. finally all done and dusted. This one has been a long meandering road. My most vivid recollection is the hasegawa offering being leaps and bounds above the chinese kit in every way (except munitions supply). My other most notable recollection is of producing loads and loads of bombs and ejection rack ephemera. zzzz oh and of course the AIRES cockpit is the worst thing ever created by mankind. 🤪 We had some pretty hairy family stuff going on during this build so I lost my focus a lot on this build and I only completed one out of my multi build plan also so expect to see this continue in a future KUTA pretty weathered but I think its apt for the airframe following the reference material. I think it looks quite alright albeity a few faux pas, but anyway i hope you enjoy the result. It takes a lot of energy to run these things so thanks to our boss, The lovely Mr. Minion for his expert hosting and good vibes, advice and encouragement throughout. cheers craig P Edited June 13, 2021 by Dansk 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Well Paul, that really has turned out fantastic. Your standards of building, painting and weathering just get better and better and your A-4 proves that. The decals have gone down really nicely and genuinely do look like they are painted on and really like how you have done the walkways on the wings as they are perfectly weathered. Thanks for having taken part in the GB mate and for producing such an outstanding model. Very well done indded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
