Its 1/72 scale and not all that big. Just think of a fisherman holding his catch out away from his body at arms length for a photo. Then he holds the same fish close to his body for a photo.

Richard/Kermit – That is fabulous! Great work… love the water works… this one will be my first attempt at water. Weathering is superb, a great job all around for sure. Cheers !
Got some white paint on the P-3C yesterday. Now I just have to mask and hit it with gray.
Did some masking
and then sprayed some gray!
68GT, looking really nice there, great progress and very nice paintwork i'm thinking of the fish but it still looks big...
Well i have the Wellington now and i've cracked the box to have a look at it all and i'm very impressed with the trumpeter kit even if the detail is a little over done on the wings....
Wip pics soon....
Julez,
Splendid! Can't wait to see how you handle that one. Gonna be fun! Now, go modelling and show us your good stuff

I've already started the office buddy
Well i've accidentaly started the interior paintwork on the Wellington, decided to throw together another Mustang for NMF GB to kill this slump and mixed up way to much interior green so the Welly has it's interior base coat on....
Can't say i am sorry you mixed up too much paint LOL. And i do know what you mean with modelling blocks. Sometimes you just can't get yourself do do certain stuff... Luckily it's a hobby so you get to decide what you do or don't
68GT,
Maybe a bit late on my part (sorry bout that) but i just went over your gorgeous pictures again and i must say that the C47 is looking very good indeed!. I take it it is 1:72? What brand/ kit was it?
Thanks,
Thats the old Testers/Italeri kit in 1/72. I built that back in the early 80s and is one of the few that have survived being packed up by my mother and sister 15 years ago when I got married.
Yeah Richard i've been doing alot of thinking about this build, i was going to throw a whole heap of Eduard in it but having studied the parts/instructions it's plainly obvious that very little will be seen once the model is finished so i've decided to concentrate on the pit and gun turrets and leave out most of the parts in the radio room and fueselage....I will be adding some flak damage to the wing and tail though...BTW it a great kit..
Nice looking stuff going on here, you guys are gonna have me building an F-4 soon me thinks.
The P-3 is looking really good too
Randy So many to build.......So little time
...you guys are gonna have me building an F-4 soon me thinks
I will hold you to that buddy. Been considering a next build for the group myself but i am overcomitted as it is.... Ah well.... it isn't 2011 yet....
Looking forward to see all your stuff goin on boys
It's gonna take me until 2011 to get mine finished i think....
i forgot to add this modest wip pic to my last post, stuck a Tamiya 109 in there for scale....
Wow Julez that thing is huge ! You have a hanger out back for it when its finished ?
Yeah yor not wrong Randy, I have 3 little 48 scale fighters to finish up and then i'll crack on with it
Well I built another 1/350 sub and have it ready for painting. So my stalled sub builds will have another one to join them and get the builds and painting rolling again.
Here solo and with my previously built (but not yet painted) USS Dallas, is the new Airfix 1/350 Trafalgar class SSN which I will be completing as HMS Torbay.
F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!
U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!
N is for NO SURVIVORS...

Cool subs Stik, Is the Dallas a Los Angeles class? it looks like the one in the Hunt for Red October...
Yes it is a Los Angeles Class. It is a "Flight I" boat with sail mounted dive planes and no VLS. I think Dragon got the idea of Dallas/Alfa from the book and movie of Hunt for Red October.
The next Los Angeles class that I will be building is gonna be a "Flight II" boat, USS Chicago of Tom Clancy's Red Storm Rising fame.
Well here is how my Battle of the Atlantic 1980s style is shaping up...
Akula, Dallas, Torbay, Alfa, Kilo...
Thats a fine collection of cold war hunters Stik, very cool
Julez72 Thats a fine collection of cold war hunters Stik, very cool
Totally agree there! Would like to do a larger scale Kilo myself one day. There is something about them that attracts me...
Great work stik!
Trumpeter amkes a 1/144 Kilo sub kit. Thats about as big as you will get for a Kilo.
And thank you! I started getting the lower hulls painted yesterday on the Torbay and Dallas.
Bump cant have this one way back on page 3 ya know
Agreed
Today I finished airbrushing the upper colors on USS Dallas and HMS Torbay- Polly Scale Scale Black. I was not too keen on how that stuff airbrushes. But it went better than the lower colors did a few weeks ago.
And here is my 1/350 Battle of the Atlantic 1988 shaping up...
Nice Stik, I like the look of those Russian ones...Very cool
Stikpusher those subs are SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A very very nice collection.
Guys, and our fearless leader, I am finally getting my ducks in a row for my SH-60B build. I have to admit I am not used to the Revell Germany color call outs, in fact this is my first kit from them. The Revell paints arent available here at the LHS or the one over the hill, so I have been trying to find equivalent colors of Tamiya or MM paints, not too easy a thing to do it seems, but I am getting close. Anyway I have a FW190 build to complete its at 30% now and being a Tamiya kit will go together fast for me, well the last Tamiya kit went together very fast anyways. So by the end of the month my first helicopter build should be under way. I have already done some parts clean up, and a bunch of drooling.
