thanks a lot I will order those, who knows if i get the typhoon finished soon i might even put this up as a secondary build in this campaign

Here is my entry for the Anything Goes Campaign. This kit has been on several shelves for the past 47 years. The Airlines MS 406 heritage is the Frog Kit of 1964, my kit is the 1966 Airlines release by Testors.

A Memorial Day weekend enabled me to do some modeling. I was able to do most of the assembly on the MS406. The fit was not bad at all and there was minimum flash except for one part. I did do quite a bit of sanding to the glue seams. The canopy is a flash monster and will take careful finishing work. The cockpit needs a new seat and instrument panel. I'll borrow some decals from another kit and paint this for a Finnish MS406. One nice bonus to these old kits are the stands. This stand is a very elegant clear deco style oval shape that gives a period feel to the display.

Bit of a late comer but i'm in for this group build with this kit:



Thanks,
Philip.

Update ( so much better than any A-model kit !!! )







Working on landing gear & other details

This is why you shouldn't rush decals. I picked the model up to put on a ridiculously tiny stencil and

It's not an inconspicuous marking. I'm going to have to trawl through the decal dungeon to try and find something I can cobble together to replace it.

@Jessie_C Ouch! But I'm sure we've all been there...

I'm about to start a new build, so I thought I might include it here.

The Revell 1/72nd scale P-51B Mustang.



Nice easy little kit, should be fairly straight forward

Nothing major to show yet, as I've yet to start painting the cockpit. It's been mostly de-sprueing and cleaning up parts so far. And consulting references, as I've learned to be vary of Revell's instructions.

Unlike the separately molded rear fuselage with open intake scoops, those going to the fuselage spine and the one in the fin were molded solid and needed some work to look good.

The fin was a bit trickier than just drilling and carving a hole, as on the real thing there's four slats in the intake. So I glued in strips of the thinnest styrene sheet I had. I didn't get them 100% evenly spaced, but far better than a flat solid surface, IMHO.


Dryfitting the drop tank halves revealed a gap over the fins, as if the cutout for the fins in the other half was made too deep and no one bothered to check it. Easily fixed with some styrene sheet.


I think I'll be painting the cockpit in my next update.

A little progress on the Super Fox-------Furball Decals are on, flat coat to follow.


Best wishes,


Ian

I'm calling this one done. There are a bunch more stencils but they're tiny, my magnifier isn't working well and I need to be packing to move rather than building. I left the extremely plain bang seats unglued so that I can replace them when better resin ones come along.

Ian - that's one dirty scooter!

Jessie - nice job. Seems the kit is quite a struggle though? I was thinking of picking one up and whiffing it into an aggressor.

Jessica----Good looking Goshawk. Glad you could repair the intake decal.


And yes--------------low viz Scooters tended to get a little grimy.


Regards,

Ian

Very nice work Jessica !!

looking great Ian !

I'm still working on some details,

The Spitfire is coming along slowly but surely

Small update.

Ok well I have made lots of progress with the typhoon so there are quite a lot of pics, firstly i have mostly finished assembly and im most of the way there with the painting, just a few smaller parts to go because it is easier to paint those when they are not attached

assembly pics




painting (so far)


not much more to do now, there is a light at the end of the tinnel!!!

Hi.

Been really busy with work and chasing a 1 year old so model time has really taken a hit. I was previously building a 1/48 tamiya mustang, but I recently got a hold of a 1/32 Revell He-162 and decided to try building it since I've heard its one of the easiest assembling 1/32 kits around.



That was back in May and here is where I am now.





I'm usually a armour guy, but I have to admit this has been a fun change of scenery so far.

Take care and great work all around so far.

Jeff

Update

Revell P-51B update. Well with some sidewall detail, decal for the dash and even moulded on shoulder straps there really wasn't much for me to add to the interior, so I just painted it up and started putting this baby together. Initial impressions were VERY good. Everything was fitting together really well. Until it came to fitting the wing upper halves. This left a nasty gap and 'hump' right at the root. I've had a go at fixing it, but I do feel like my repairs look even worse than the problem!



Well, onwards and upwards

I'll post pictures of the MS406 in it's primer coat tomorrow.

Decal week

Here is the Airlines-Frog 1966 vintage kit of the MS406. I managed to get this far yesterday. I spray outside here in Kentucky, weather permitting. Its rainy season and pollen season here so I'm dodging thunderstorms. Primer is discount store enamel gray. The paint is thin and dries quickly in the hot humid climate here during the late spring and summer.

I feel really heroic and have decided to go with a French paint scheme for the MS406. I have the original decals or the set from Hasegawa for their version of the MS406. More to come.

Decals are done.
Drop tanks too.

Canopy's missing.
