Hugh thanks for your advise

Terri thanks for your comments

I chose to airbrush the cockpit with british interior green cause it's a british aircraft

I'm talking to you from an internet cafe' in Crete

Cheers Nick

No I didn't forget it but the progress is really slow!

Pictures-I don't know when i send better

Cheers Nick

No worries Nick. Life intervenes sometimes. We are here when you get back to it. Sometimes a build goes slow. I look forward to your finished work.

Like Stephen said Nick , no worries ! Some of my builds take me from any where to 4 to 7 months . We are all in the same boat as you , Just take your and Enjoy

Updaaaate....

Not bad at all Nick !

What do you like about the build so far ?

Thank you very much

I like very much that i build a very nice detailed kit but really difficult ("profipack" means lots of cuts of the plastic for the p.e. , bad fit of the parts e.t.c.) But I like it

Cheers Nick

I have glued the two parts of the fuselage
Now I have to sand and apply lots of putty

Cheers Nick

Hi Nick,

Do you have any new pictures for us?

Mark

Unfortunately no

Cheers Nick

Update





Needs to be sanded







Needs to be sanded.... a lot

Some details on the upper fuselage

Here is something useful that the useless humbrol acrylics can do

The exhausts finished
Basic color humbrol enamel 100 matt 75% w/ raw umber oil paint 25%.Drybrush is the same mixture with 30% titanium white oil paint





Cheers Nick

Looking pretty good so far Nick ! I like how your seatbelts turned out .

Would it have been easier to leave the front windsrceen off until after painting ?

Keep up the good work Nick

Thank you very much for your comments Terri

Don't worry about the windscreen

I'm gone to use liquid mask such as Humbrol and Gunze (I've got them both )

Really do you like the exhausts painting??

Cheers Nick

Yes Nick , I do like your exhaust painting .

Thank you very much Terri

Cheers Nick

Decent work here Nick. PE can be a trial at first but your doing well. Model On!

Hi Nick


Well done! I'm impressed - you've picked a pretty advanced kit of a complicated subject - so don't be surprised if it's a quantum leap in complexity over what you've tackled before.

But take heart - one day, you'll look back on your efforts with the Brisfit and realise how much you learned with this build. Occasionally, we all feel we've bitten off more than we can chew - my latest build has almost gone in the bin through sheer frustration on several occasions! - but learning to overcome such obstacles is part of what modelling is all about.

That fact that you're still making progress speaks volumes for your determination. Keep at it! (And, maybe save your other Eduard Brisfit kit for another day... ).

All the best

Rowan

Thank you very much

I'm so happy for your comments

Cheers Nick
