AnonymousDFB1 Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 (edited) I shall be building this: More when the GB starts.... Edited April 5, 2010 by Mish
AnonymousDFB1 Posted April 1, 2010 Author 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.
AnonymousDFB1 Posted April 2, 2010 Author 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
daz greenwood Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 Hey Mish! That's what this hobby is all about!
AnonymousDFB1 Posted April 2, 2010 Author Posted April 2, 2010 I forgot to add I've got dried paint all over my fingers and I'm still waiting for mum to bring me a glass of milk
Milo Black Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 I forgot to add I've got dried paint all over my fingers and I'm still waiting for mum to bring me a glass of milk If you've been good, she might bring you a Jammy Dodger or an orange Viscount as well
Bomber_Harris Posted April 2, 2010 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.
RobF Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 Do you want to swap a jammy Dodger for one of my Penguins ? - P P P P P Pick up a Penguin
AnonymousDFB1 Posted April 2, 2010 Author 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 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!
fraxinus Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 Whirlwind coming along quickly airframe almost built looking good!!
Paul Brickles Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 Looking good mish -just about to start mine Paul
AnonymousDFB1 Posted April 2, 2010 Author 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)
AnonymousDFB1 Posted April 5, 2010 Author Posted April 5, 2010 This mornings efforts: This afternoon will see her finished.
AnonymousDFB1 Posted April 5, 2010 Author 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.
Deon Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 Lol those paints are pretty unforgiving aren't they!, Thanks be for airbrushes
Milo Black Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 Nicely done, Mish - you can un-grit those teeth now
