bigbadbadge Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Hi all Just got this one over the line before the deadline. This is the Williams Brothrrs 1/32 scale kit. The cockpit has a fair amount of scratch additions and the engine also had extra detail added. The main thing was to cut off the lift out cockpit access section . Quite pleased with this, brushpainted with Humbrol enamels the wing scallops were painted using masking tape masks drawn and cut using the scale plan on the instruction sheet and the fuselage and wheel spats scallops were painted free hand. Rigged with Prym Knitting elastic and brake lines or cables and cowl support cables are invisible thread made taught by holding a soldering iron. Weathered with oils and weathering powders. Thanks to Col, Dennis and Enzo and thanks to those who offered encouragement Chris 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bianfuxia Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 This is the Chinese deep sea submersible research vehicle named Jiaolong (pronounced, very roughly, Jee-ow Loooong...the "long" is a similar sound to Oolong Tea). The name refers to a mythical "flood dragon" (the word long 龙 means dragon, and the wiki link I just gave has an interesting analysis of the jiao 蛟). The Jiaolong reached the then-record depth for a craft of this type - 7,000 meters - in 2012. Since then, China's newer Fendouzhe submersible made it to 10,909 meters in the Mariana Trench. This was essentially a snap-tight build which I did without glue (except maybe on one ill-fitting part) and without paint except for some silver on the floodlights. It was just fun putting it together, no muss no fuss. In the pic below you can see it in my "space and research" display at bottom left, next to the Hasegawa kit of Japan's Shinkai 6500, a similar snap-tight kit of a similar craft which once held a similar world record...at 6500 meters (the clue's in the name, Dad, as my kid would say). Fun build and there should be more kits of quirky things like this! Build thread: 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebra Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Here's my Tiger Meet Mirage 2000C - Modelsvit kit, Syhart decals.

Whirly Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Here is my second completed build, a Pilatus PC-6 in 1/72 from the old Classic Plane kit. It is a very special scheme applied by the Austrian Air Force in 2000 to use it as a recruitment tool. The plane was sold in 2012 and moved to the USA, apparently keeping this livery up to now. Build thread is here: Thanks for looking! 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
