Hi, folks
I have recently finished most painting jobs and this bird is ready for more weathering:





And again I am on the top of this new page.

Hi all,

very pretty warbirds in this campaign !

Here is mine, on the beginning, the Lavochkin La-7 from the Eduard 1/72 "dual combo" box.
I will do the "box art" one (difficult to choose with the 8 possibilities...)
There's a lot of PE:







It will need some putty for the next step...

Cheers

Ok time for an update on my Academy 1/48 F-15 . iv got the cockpit section pretty much done just need a little tidy up here and there .. im about to start the main sections of the fuzz ...







Ps sorry the pics arnt great i had to use my phone

Hm .... if you use your phone to take pictures, then I guess you get calls on your camera?
Well, I see good progress here in this campaign with some really great builds. I've just added 2 pics of my Spit to the gallery. More can be seen here.

Happy modelling!
Torsten

Applied the first coat of Flat Gull Gray to the 1/32 scale F-4S. Still have to do a little clean-up on the resin leading edge slats because the fit was so bad.

Dave------Great looking F-15 cockpit!!

Regards, Ian

Thanks Ian . Your F-4 looks like its coming along well !! .. The fit on my F-15 is a bit of a challenge im going to be doing plenty of sanding and filling , i just got all the flight surfaces glued on this eve

Nice Spitfire Torsten !! i like your tropical one

This is looking to be one of the best all-round campaigns I've seen. It's going to make for a jaw dropping gallery. I also see a lot of kits I've made in the past. Watching eagerly. Hoping I get a split second to address my FW190 and 110 languishing on the bench....

Amazing work going on here! Thought I'd post some progress just to let you know I'm still around. 1/144 F-18 before decals:



Cheers!
Stefan

Sorry my pictures didn't post, I'm still working on it, I gave myself a choice of a bf110c or a 45 year old Spad 13 from revel and I chose the Spad because we need more WW1 aircraft. I'm taking Pictures as I go and will post them when I can.

OK so last night i glued all the flight surfaces on ...



This evening i have been busy filling and sanding and its looking much better now ..



I also made a start on the exhaust nozzles .. i opend up the the bottom of the engine outlets and glued all the strips to the nozzles





im leaving plenty of time for everything to dry so thats all for tonight



Happy modeling

Decals...


I had forgoten how horribly inadequate Hobbycraft's instructions were. And these were the good sheets, too. There are a lot of stencils left over that I have no idea where to put. Time to do a little searching...

Hi Jessica
2012 and kit makers still have not sorted out translation/paint colour/decals/parts with no home!
The info is out there if they only took the time to search for it.

That's a 1995 kit with the dust blown off the box. And at that, it's far superior to the 1980s Hobbycraft kits which had mostly blank drawings which sort of matched the kit parts, if you looked at them in the dark, and no colour information at all beyond the box top painting. I've been spoiled by modern instruction sheets lately

And now the Buchon receives its plumage

Looking good there Jessica thers something about a 109 with a Merlin in it ... Anyway iv given the exhausts a base coat and made a start on pre,shading the panel lines

The Mule is nearly done. I need to add the cowling guns and fnd a nice clear flat overcoat that isn't too flat.

Does anyone have an instruction sheet which has more placement details for a Do 17. The hobby craft instructions are mystifying to say the least. Thanks

Nice build there Jessica. Russell

Now the Buchon is nearly done. I have to mount the rocket rails and the canon barrels.

Okay, now they're done.



Not bad for a first attempt at airbrushing, but there's definitely room for improvement.

If I can not figure out the interior placement of the items I will change my a/c. Can anyone assist me with some help in building the interior of a Do 17?

Perhaps this might help?
