AnonymousDFB1 Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 I've got everything ready I'm gonna build this on a tray on my lap like I used to, no temptation to use something I shouldn't then! I'm really looking forward to this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomber_Harris Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 I'm doing well, I've spilt the black paint and got a splash of grey on my trousers Pics in a bit I have just done exactly the same thing. Knocked the pot of black over. That will teach me for not putting the lid back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonymousDFB1 Posted April 2, 2010 Author Share Posted April 2, 2010 Right, first I did the 'interior green' bits this is more than what I did as a kid! Oh dear this is hard at 1:72 and with the brushed provided, and no flesh colour. No wonder I never painted pilots! In his new 'home' Fuselage halves together Wings and fuselage now cemented and will start to set over lunch (What have we got Mum?) More later....

Folkbox1 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 This was my second ever model (of the new era - ie two months ago). A nice little kit I thought. The only thing I didn't like was having to cut the landing gear doors in half to have the gear down. Not easy to do with a knife! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonymousDFB1 Posted April 2, 2010 Author Share Posted April 2, 2010 So this afternoons progress: Wings on Main Landing Gear in place with wheel bay doors I think it's going to need more than one coat of paint, it was so much easier with Humbrol enamels More on Monday (unless I get temped tonight) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonymousDFB1 Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 Well she's done and I guess when I was seven I would have been rightly chuffed. I've not used anything I wouldn't have when I was seven. I think these kits are great for kid, but I found myself becoming very frustrated in not being able to get a nice finish with the paint, plus 1:72 is not really my scale when it comes to WW2 fighters. However this was an enjoyable exercise, but i won't be showing visitors this part of my collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
