Gisbod Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 (edited) Hi all, Just getting back to modelling as I’ve recently moved house and got my new workshop up and running (I’ve added a few pics 😀). I’ve so missed having a modelling space! I saw Brett’s review of the Brassin engine for this on Hyperscale and was so taken with the detail I had to order one and the associated Eduard S-199 - not a kit I would naturally be drawn to. The Brassin set is nothing short of spectacular in this scale, I’m not sure it’s turned out exactly how I wanted it. I’d be tempted to build another (maybe the two seat trainer?). I’m never happy at the end of a model! It does require a little surgery of the fuselage and cockpit, but not too bad. Anyway, here she is… And the raw parts… And my new man cave! 😊 Thanks for looking in, Guy Edited October 28, 2022 by Gisbod 65 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke1199 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Superb! I'm working on this kit currently in an Israeli scheme and I'll be happy if it turns out half as good as yours! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natter Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Very, very nice indeed. You've done a great job on the finish of both the aircraft and the detail set. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jochen Barett Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Nice engine! (to say the least) (bonus points for ring antenna, navigational lights, finish, photography and so on) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latinbear Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Is that really 1/72nd? What a fantastic piece of work! Great workshop too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeusa Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Very nice 199. And a tidy, very well equipped & well stocked modeling center. For my own sanity and self-worth, please tell me you had to clean your workspaces for an hour before you could take this picture. It is so neat and tidy and without a huge shelf of doom looking down upon you every time you sit in your chair. Good job on the engine and making it look so realistic. I've seen more than one high quality resin enhancement kit go by the wayside because of fit problems or inadequate painting and finishing. Your's is great. Thanks for sharing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gisbod Posted October 27, 2022 Author Share Posted October 27, 2022 Ah thanks guys, yep I put quite a bit of effort on the workshop - the benches were in situ but it’s had the walls dug out of loose mortar, sealed and painted, ceiling put in, coving, new floor, skirting, extractor fan, new windows & new sealed garage door - but apart from that, as it was 😆 2 hours ago, georgeusa said: Very nice 199.

Thanks, yes, it was taken in between builds to be fair! Yep, despite how lovely the engine is, I can see how it’s easy to cock up! If you’re building one, I’d recommend fitting prior to painting, the small cowling directly ahead of the windscreen took a fair bit of fettling to fit.

Lightningboy2000 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 I had to double check wether you had made a mistake in the title and it wasn't 1/48 or larger. That work gone into fitting the engine is exceptional and the engine itself is spectacular. Fantastic work. Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Wow! An awesome build! The resin additions are so brilliantly done, I could be forgiven for thinking it is 1/48 or 1/32 scale! 👏👏 How I envy you for that workshop space too! I must show it to my Missus, to illustrate what I aspire to. 😃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mig88 Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 That's jaw-dropping superb!! Indeed it could be mistaken for 1:48. Well done. I envy your workspace. I live in a small flat! Miguel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
