Fritag Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Wiper’s a lovely touch and the Venom looks superb in her flat coat. Mind you; I don’t hold with these long threads 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnson Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 I can't add much to the appreciation already shown Chris, but definitely a WOW! And, of all the myriad of gorgeous details, I love the windscreen wiper! Not surprised you took a close-up. Cheers, 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadbadge Posted December 17, 2022 Author Share Posted December 17, 2022 Now I finally have some bench space I can move onto the next projects. The Spitfire is my PR.IV for the unofficial GB , the yellow peril is a 32nd scale Williams Bothers GB Z racing plane and is for the PRRRS mega GB and the Hawker Nimrod is just about to be started. No room for the Sea Hurricane as well will have that on a shelf next to the bench gor easy access. Thanks for looking in Chris 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichieW Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 You are an absolute modelling machine, a very efficient one! I'm particularly looking forward to the Nimrod. The surface textures look lovely. Richie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nimrod does look a lovely kit and am looking forward to it although a bit nervous about it too. 16 minutes ago, RichieW said: You are an absolute modelling machine, a very efficient one! I'm particularly looking forward to the Nimrod. The surface textures look lovely. Richie Thanks Richie, I do like to have a few on the go as brush painting takes longer to build up coats than airbrushing otherwise you drag off the previous layer. The Nimrod has lovely surface details and will be my first 3D printed kit. Will start this over the next day or two as I want to get the Spitfire wing and fuselage joined and fettled to get towards painting first and the GB needs yet another coat of yellow too.

Ngantek Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Dunno if it will be useful, but wandered past the Nimrod at Duxford today with all her naughty bits out. I took some random poor quality photos in passing here, possibly I might accidentally have caught a useful feature or something.

Cheers, Andy Crikey they're brilliant thank you Andy, that is very kind of you to think of this. I will certainly have a study and there are some cracking images with some great details.

Chris Might want to wait before thanking, my experience with these random unguided flypasts is the uncanny way in which the feature I actually want is always somehow out of precisely just out of shot. I usually end up being more annoyed than if I didn't have the photos in the first place! I'd love to make a Nimrod in the long term anyway so it's all self interested!

bigbadbadge Posted December 23, 2022 Author Share Posted December 23, 2022 There are some great details for me to pick over Andy, it will be very helpful to me thanks once again . Are you doing one with the Lukgraph kit or the old fashioned way with two Airfix Furys??? Chris 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ngantek Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 No worries Chris. I flirted with the idea of getting a nice CMR one at one point but it's so far over the hill I think 'I'll just see what's available in 2062 when I get around to it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
