The kit is great

P.e. parts and express mask for painting

I'll build it to train for the campaign

It will be my first biplane

photos soon

Cheers Nick

Good luck with your new build Nick.
I'm sure you will enjoy building a biplane, they are challenging but very rewarding. You will learn a few new tricks along the way, but in the long term, they will help you with future builds.

Cheers mate and happy modelling

Des.

Thank you Des

Cheers Nick

Nick,

Looks like fun. Post pictures and let us know how it's going.

I am working on a ship project right now

I'll start it in a month (or earlier )

This (as I said before) will be for training, for the campaign!

Cheers Nick

Cool Nick , Looking forward to when you start !

If you have any questions or need help just let us know !

Thanks Terri

Don't worry I don't want to ask anything (until now )

Cheers Nick

Cheers Nick

Sorry for the delay

I'll start my bristol surely in a week

Cheers Nick

Glad to see that you got the kit Nick ! Will be looking forward to the progress pic's once you get started .

Nice working pace you have

Thanks Terri

I knew that you 'll answer

Cheers Nick

Nick,

Very nice. Have you decided which profile you will model?

Mark

This

"Bristol F.2B B1134, No 35 Squadron RFC, February 1918"

Thanks Mark

Cheers Nick

I've got that one as well, just need time to build it. I fancy one of the white or half white Palistinian front aircraft or even I believe some were used up to 1931 in Iraq and painted silver.

I saw this palestinian in the color chart in the kit

The whole kit is great (p.e. express mask great detail and cheaper (better too ) than roden's one

Cheers Nick

I am a fan of the Roden kit because it has the whole engine and has a better nose profile.

Stephen thanks for sharing what you know

I've started the kit but nothing special to photo.

Progress....











Cheers Nick

There's lots of progress but my camera is off and I don't know when I'll send you pictures



Cheers Nick

Keep posting Nick. May I suggest to use blank background, even if it just some sheets of paper
when taking pictures. It'll help the camera focus better. Hope it gets fixed soon.

Ok "jaypee" I'll use another backround

Tommorow I'll proppably had my camera fixed

Cheers Nick

Here is the lastest update:

I'll leave for vacation in 7th of August and I'll return in 6th of September

The cockpit was airbrushed with british interior green and I painted the details with a small brush

Left side & floor (not finished yet, needs wash drybrush and chipping) :





Right side (finished) :





Engine (finished) :





Instrumental panel and vickers MG (finished) :









Cheers Nick

Sorry for the bad photos but the camera (modelling camera ) Is new

and I don't know how to do the settings

Hey Nick,

It's easy.

1. Always use your flash.

2. That little symbol on the selector button on the back of the camera, sort of looks like a tulip?... press that. That puts the camera into Macro mode and allows for close focus.

Cheers,

Hugh

PS. Oh, and always set for Auto unless you are prepared to play with Aperture settings to increase your depth of field.

Hey Nick .

Hugh has some very good pointers . He has aided me many of times . It can be tricky and a art from on it's own . Practice , practice and you get it .

Very nice painting so far in the cockpit . What made you decide on the colours ?

Enjoy your vaction and look forward to more progress young grasshopper !
