AdrianMF Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Super job on the Flycatcher. Those old Inpact kits are amazing but you’ve raised the bar a good few notches there! Regards, Adrian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadbadge Posted August 12, 2021 Author Share Posted August 12, 2021 Hi all Now the Flycatcher is finished work is underway on the Corsair although nothing to show just scraped off the raised panel lines on the fuselage with my home made chisel. The Gladiator is progressing and now has the correct canopy the locally made armour plate has been added behind the pilot's head area . Just going to try and figure the wing struts and upper wing etc before I get the paint out. Although not FAA this Hurricane just sort of fell together. What a lovely kit. Lastly the Anson has moved on a bit too with the interior progressing well will hopefully add the Starboard side framing soon then move onto the tope tubing. Got to finish painting some interior bits first though. Thanks for looking Chris 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kit is the Hurricane? Keith Hi Keith Yes it's getting that way, the Hurricane is the Airfix Mk1 Tropical boxing it's a fab kit. The Anson is getting better and wondering how far to go with it, no I want to get it buttoned up. I do also have to resume my Beetle model and got two OO gauge locomotive kits on the go too. Oh my word. Thanks fella Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliGauld Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Everything is looking really great there. Looking forward to the Gladiator as I'll need tips for my own one when I finally get round to it. Cheers, Alistair 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieW Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Plenty going on here Chris, the Hurricane came out of nowhere. I'm sure that was said a few times 81 years ago! It's all looking very good as ever, I'm very much looking forward to seeing the Gladiator especially. I've had a real soft spot for the type since reading about Faith, Hope and Charity the famous Malta defenders. Richie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie Thanks Richie, yes the Hurricane was a birthday treat for myself, it builds really nicely and is a lovely kit. All of a sudden I had the cockpit frame completed and wings , then that I would test the fuselage and it just clicked together so decided to use TET. It was a pleasant surprise. The Gladiators I plan on doing are all going to be Faith N5520 at three time periods. Thanks guys Chris 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
