RichieW Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Lovely subjects Chris, I must admit I was shocked when I saw 1/32 Nimrod in the title and laughed when I saw the Lukgraph biplane model. I've never built a Fly or Lukgraph kit, this will be great! Richie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I saw Nimrod I was was thinking the jet amd was wondering where you’d put it! 😂 😄 Crikey Mark, SWMBO would not be impressed 😬 I would need a bigger mancave!!! I have wanted to build some large scale kits for a while now, so can't wait to get on with these now 1 hour ago, Quiet Mike said: That Sea Hurricane box art is great. And really looking forward to seeing what you can do with the Nimrod Chris! Thanks Mike, it is a great picture, shame the writing is there as it would look good in a frame. Always wanted a Nimrod and so can't wait to start this, all parts now cut fir both kits, so ready to go. The Nimrod is my first 3D printed kit😬 Thanks guys Chris 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always wanted a Nimrod, such a lovely looking machine. Thanks Chris 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ngantek Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Oh yes I'm all about both of those kits. Really looking forward to the builds. They'll make a lovely 'evolution' pair as well. Do I detect some grade 1 bait and switch on the PR IV? 😅 That white coat looks flawless. Worth effort I think (not to mention the 3kg of paint it must've taken!)

Andy Tganks Andy 😄 I wasn't going to do a WIP for the PR.IV as I just wanted to build it on the side, but might well add some in progress shots to this thread. 😉 The Sea Hurricane and Nimrod are subjects I have wanted to do for a long time, initially buying two Airfix Furys to make in 48th scale, but when the Lukgraph kit came out I had to get one!!! Glad the white paint is done I will klear coat and then start on the EDSG finally. That should look better then . Thanks Chris 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Hi Chris, White is looking lovely - 5 coats indeed. Look forward to seeing both of those newbies take shape - the Nimrod is certainly an unusual subject Cheers, Roger 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliGauld Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Oooh, Now this lot looks good. Looking forward to progress. My new Arma Sea Hurricane arrives tomorrow, allegedly, and I'm excited about it. In my excitement I nearly missed the gorgeous white paint. Beautifully done. 15 hours ago, mark.au said: When I saw Nimrod I was was thinking the jet I did the same thing a few weeks ago when Chris mentioned it and it still catches my attention.

Oooooooo can't wait to see what the Arma Sea Hurricane looks like. Just been adding a gloss coat to the underside if the Sea Venom so will be onto the EDSG very soon. Imagine SWMBO's face if I had a 32nd Nimrod jet, it would be too big for the mancave, so would have to be hung from the ceiling in the lounge Chris 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick b Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Hi Chris I see Hannants have the Berna 32nd decal sheet for the Sea Venom back in stock or are you sticking with the kit ones? Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Thanks Mike, that's handy to know if the ones I have (I was kindly sent a set of Kit ones and the newer Revell ones by Rabbit Leader, as mine went funny), go wrong, I prefer the red shark mouth that Matchbox supply but if all goes wrong with that one, will use the black shark mouth.

And seeing that white Sea Venom underside having had five coats of paint I can see why your brushed paintjobs are so good, I just wouldn't have the parience to wait for each coat to dry!

Keith 😄 you are spot on she would show me the door at that point, I am lucky enough to have a 1:1 Tiggie prop in the lounge, I would definitely be pushing my luck there with a huge Nimrod, even trying to persuade her how beautiful it is would not help!!! Thanks fella, pleased with how the Sea Venom is progressing now the white coats are out the way and eager to get it done now for space for the two new ones. It does make the builds take longer waiting for the paint to dry to allow another coat etc 🙄 14 minutes ago, Bertie McBoatface said: It would only be four feet long. You could hang it over the bed... Only four feet long! Hmm interesting 🤔, maybe I could just get away.. no no I will be in trouble still, I would have to hang it over the bed in the shed!!!😉 Chris 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just use thinned enamel and a wide flat brush, luckily the EDSG pigment is good so hopefully will only take a few coats🤞 will be able to try the decals soon.

spitfire Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 I'm impressed, a Sea Venom in 1/32 you don't see many of those being built, I have one somewhere, maybe one day I'll be brave enough to build it. My cabinets are very light on FAA subjects , I think I only have two, a Seafire and a Sea Fury so maybe I should break out the FLY Sea Hurricane as well.

Cheers Dennis Thanks Dennis, yes you don't see many on the go, it actually builds uo very nicely, just very simplified in places so this is where the extra work came in, although i left out the engine. I started it for a GB but didn't finish in time🙄 I have a Sea Hurricane on the go next all the resin has been cut ready, also a Nimrod is up next too, I do like having a few on the go at a time!!!

I was going to give you a mention when I do the decals. I was hoping to finish it by the end of the year for this year's yearbook.
