Markh-75 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 That looks a terrific build! You'll have plenty of fun with it; my only question is, why do they supply all those clear parts? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly does the newer Airfix kit is amazing . The Trumpeter tooling looks very similar to the Tamiya 48th scale tooling so far. Chris Thanks Chris, The sprues are also extremely reminiscent of the Tamiya ones. I believe there were accusations that Trumpeter had just upscaled the Tamiya one when it came out. Allegedly.

AliGauld Posted September 1, 2022 Author Share Posted September 1, 2022 Some of the bits and bobs got some paint and a bit of photo etch. It all needs a light was to bring out the finer details and I'll need to fit the photo etch harness in the second position.

Dunny Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Nice work Alistair - I have not forgotten my Stringbag. It may receive some attention on my day off on Mon, Cheers, Roger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandie Dinmont Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 More than just a bit of paint, the detailing in that cockpit is superb! What a shame it will mostly be hidden, maybe you should use the transparent fuselage sides after all? Craig. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about using one half of the transparent bits and masking up to show bits through it but I've gone off the idea as i want it to vaguely resemble a Swordfish. 2 hours ago, Dr. Quack said: Cracking start Alistair.

Q Thanks Q, I do like a wingfold but it hides so much of the swordfish I'll be going for the Full Bhuna. 1 hour ago, Tomjw said: This is coming along nicely Alistair.

Spookytooth Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Well, you got badgered into doing a "Stringbag" mate. Lovely stuff. I will watch from afar as they say. Stay safe. Simon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliGauld Posted September 4, 2022 Author Share Posted September 4, 2022 Some dirtying up done. The rolled tarp got a coat of Buff followed by a misting of a Buff/Desert Yellow mix and then a Burnt Sienna Oil Wash. And then the Radio got a bit of colour added. Not accurate but gives a wee bit of interest. I wasn't planning on anything else for this today but this sort of happened. And because I can..... There is still a wee bit more work required in the cockpit area and I'll get on with that tomorrow hopefully. That'll be it for today as I'm away to get ready for work. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookytooth Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Fine work on the old S.Bag. I like the finish on the "Dickie" seat behind the pilot, great job. A bit of "Poetic" Licence does the job here and there Alistair. Stay safe. Simon. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Simon, I think it gives that lower part of the gunners compartment a little more colour. Cheers, Alistair 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
