That is one of my favourite comparisons - sidewinder next to a Tempest. If that had happened.....boy would that have ended the war early.

It has.... But not on the good side.....

Germans has started trials on AA missiles in 1944...

Heat seeking ones...

Cheers,

Your work looks incredibly striking in that photo CC. Bravo! :clap2:

Thank you so much Dear Baron

I'm now looking on the dark side of modelling...

You know what I mean...

3D printing is really tempting.... 

 

Hello Dears,

As ZZtop once sing....🎶 She's got legs🎶

Be careful for that Pitot tube, it is incredibly fragile as are the retraction arms...

Wednesday, I will work with Oil paints.... I love that !!

Sincerely.

Hello Dears,

RFI for the first tempest is here !!

Then, I still have 4 Tempests on the bench...

Another step in turning the old Eduard moulds into an almost new Eduard mould....

The wheel bays...

And here another experiment...

Look at the difference in using a full decal IP (on the left) beside decalling bezel by bezel....

More to come soon Gents !!

Stay safe and a happy modelling week end to you all !

Sincerely.

it needs some hacking and scraping,  to thin the wing and fin.   see here,  and the post a few down for some details on this.

Looks like you did! :frantic:  Do I win something?  :rofl2:


Ciao

No, no, not started yet....

One month and a half, and I'll throw in the last Mk II, one more Airacobra and a Hurricane.... :facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:

And another lunacy in project.... Another long term foolish game...

With another sailor's aircraft... Not an usual one.... 

Yes, it is teasing... Definitely....

Stay safe !!

Now Dears !! Color me stupid...

I was about to start to gring the internals of old Eduard Kit in order to place the new Eduard chin radiator...

And look what I found back in the cabinet...

Sparing a bit of sanding is always fine....

Ciao 

See, I waste a time to create a listing of what is at hand, it's on an Excel file here on my PC...

Now, if I don't pay a look in it when I start kits....

That's the way I used the word "waste" instead of Spend....

Especially if I keep it up to date....:tumble:

Everything is in this file, it can be useful when used....:rofl2::rofl2:

More to come soon on both fronts !!

Sincerely.
