Fantastic detail work
- Joe the SMG
Even yet to be finished, this is extremely beautiful and is detailed impressively like an expensive swiss watch.
Awesome!
Fine scale modeling!

Approaching final steps.
Left to do - tail wheel, front landing gear assembly and painting, exhaust stains, some engine weathering, some pigments, antennae and antennae masts, canopy, some filtering and post-shading, some minor weathering details...
Apologies for the low quality zoomed photos...
Real nice, Nikola!
Very nice work
That bird is looking great! It's going to be a really awsome plane!
I like that stand too. Took the info off it and going to check it out a little more.
Stay safe.

Main WIP:
On the Bench: Artesania Latina (aka) Artists in the Latrine 1/75 Bluenose II
I keep hitting "escape", but I'm still here.
So, after 223 hours of work ( I timed every minute ), she's all glossed up with the main decals on.
Next are washes and leaking streaks. Then flat coat followed by further colour modulation with filters using stencils, exhaust stains, pigments, pencils and all that jazz...
Hi gents,
Some progress with the Corsair...
I know that weathering might not be completely accurate for this particular navy bird, but I had to have some fun with it, and as you know Corsairs are perfect for that, so don't hold it against me.
I am using AM open cowl flaps and I found some room for slight improvement by adding flap mechanism cables made from stretched sprue:
Thanks guys! Appreciated. :)
Best,
Nikola
Amazing how that looks like a real engine!
Its really coming along nicely. Good luck the rest of the way.
WOW!
Engine plumbed and ready for weathering:
The cockpit detail is fantastic. You are doing a great job.
Weeeeeeeellllllllllllll I'll tell you what. I won't tell anyone if you don't.

Excellent work!
On the Bench: Too Much
Seatbelts in place.
Only some idiot didn't read the text under the headrest which clearly says that the belts must go over the brace tube!
fox That is one of the best looking pits I have ever seen Nikola! The photo work is great too. Stay safe. Jim

Thank you very much Jim! Appreciated. Very glad that you like how it turned out. :)
Cockpit almost done.
I f'd up some stencils and didn't use them in the end. This is my first time working with them so now know what to do next time. Lesson learned.
Left to do - some more dry brushing, chipping, scratches, seatbelts, etc. I might even do some wiring. I'll see.
Some progress with the office and the engine. Not much and there is still a lot of work to be done, but this is it for now until I get back from vacation.
I intentionally slightly overdid the seat hoping that when the seatbelts come it will all be visually balanced.
I also decided not to scratch build the inside of the cowl flaps due to lack of enough free time. Thus I am going AM with this:
Looking forward to seeing your work on this bird.
Some initial progress...
Cockpit, tail wheel mechanism and engine parts ready for primer.
Of course I managed to break both 0.3 and 0.4mm drill bits so it is what it is with 0.6mm in the end.
I found this excerpt about Birdcages from Dana Bell's book:
"The aircraft was expected to have two coats of primer over most assemblies. The first coat was untinted (yellow) zinc chromate; the second coat was to be tinted to ensure that there were no 'holiday' areas that received only one coat. As such, there should be salmon nearly everywhere.The inside of the engine cowl also needed an additional finish coat to reduce the possibilities of flash fires. This was usually the same Light Gray camouflage lacquer used on Corsair undersurfaces."
I guess that the inside of the cowl flaps was also light gray.
