vppelt68 Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 ...all that of course lead to me starting the build tonight . Build thread to be opened tomorrow. The Drakens do need a few days rest so the paint cures properly (the 35FS is actually fully painted already). V-P 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Does being late on FW GB mean I am properly sabotaging the WW2 war effort?... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well of course… No seriously, this is a hobby and it’s about enjoying the build, so if you miss the deadline don’t sweat it, you can always post the results in the inspiration gallery anyway.

Marklo Posted March 30, 2023 Author Share Posted March 30, 2023 (edited) Three of my five now in the gallery, hopefully up to the standard of the other entries. Focusing on my Sablatnig and my ling boat atm but chipping away at the last two FWs too. This is where my afternoon went Edited March 30, 2023 by Marklo 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted April 5, 2023 Author Share Posted April 5, 2023 (edited) Only 18 days left….. My last build is primer ready, my plan is to get my Saab Drakken and possibly a mirage or two to the same stage then do a large primer run on the kit if them. Plus I’m feeling a bit naff at the moment so I’m not up for a lot of serious modelling Edited April 5, 2023 by Marklo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted April 7, 2023 Author Share Posted April 7, 2023 A beautiful spring morning. Me and the hound out for our morning constitutional in the forest just across the road from me. Sometimes we just don’t appreciate what we have. Anyhoo two weeks from Sunday. Hoping to get primer on my last FW soon… 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzo the Magnificent Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 My builds are in the final furlong. It's just amazing how much work the final touches take. These models require installation of the guns, fitting the seats, building and painting the canopies, building and painting the airscrews. It doesn't seem much but when there are seven of 'em, it takes a while. That's all I have done all day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marklo Posted April 11, 2023 Author Share Posted April 11, 2023 I’m hoping to get my last FW done over the weekend too. The only fly in the ointment being that my clear decal paper is still in the post. So this may be a paint mask not decal artwork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marklo Posted April 15, 2023 Author Share Posted April 15, 2023 They really do look very good @Enzo the Magnificent. My last one should be done today. Seeing that collection makes me want to build more FWs. Ah we’ll just have to focus on my salty Seadog builds and catch up with the rest of my GBs. Oh yes eight days left… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
