Bob, she looks fine to me buddynice work, i can't see any silvering either but yeah you know it's there, i had the same issue with my Mk1....On my MKV i painted those lines on..

Nomad, I've really enjoyed watching you put this one together and it's come out great, well done Thanks for sharing.....

Nomad-very nice job on the Anson.  Very impressive.

Nomad- the Anson is STUNNING!!! Perfect!

Bob- she looks good from here friend. I had some problems with my Spit too.

Cheers everyone,

I just wrapped up another build and am ready to join the party.  The work I've seen so far is simply brilliant - great work everyone.

I humbly submit my entry into the lot: Eduard's beautiful Bf-109E-1 in 1/32 scale.

The kit provided a brilliant set of decals and photo-etch bits:

Another view:   

I will "break sprue" this week while deciding which set of markings to use.  This is shaping up to be a good bit of fun.

More posts to follow.  

Nomad that Anson looks great it's certainly worth the effort you've been putting in.

Jeremy your 109 is a real beauty, congrats on a great looking model

Bob that Spit is really coming along nicely, I'll actually have to get off my backside and get mine into gear.

Fasteagle I'll be looking forward to seeing those progress pics of yours

Cheers

Does Eduard make that in 1/48th also?

Fasteagle: Impressive, Eduard always seems to knock the ball out of the park.

Satch: I looked at a couple of websites and didn't see a Bf-109 in 1/48 so I don't think so.

Nice work on the Anson, Nomad!  The engines mad a huge difference in my opinion. Well done sir!

FastEagle, Nice looking kit that 109 you have there, looking forward to some WIP pics....

nomad68,

Excellent job and interesting Battle of Britain subject. I can't say I am familiar with the 'Aro Anson' Yet you chose this rare airplane over the heaps of Spitfires, Me-109's and other popular choices. I never followed the build WIP's and can only guess it was a limited run kit with a challenging fit every step of the way. Thanks for introducing the aircraft to everyone like me who didn't know about it.

 Had to go back a few to get caught up on the BoB, Great looking projects everyone.

Nomad, A really great finish to an unusual subject.

 Bob, The Spitfire is looking very good.

 Jmabx, An awsome finish on the 109, Very cool scheme.

 FastEagle, Looking forward to seeing progress on the Eduard kit. A nice selection of markings!

To the best of my knowledge there is no 48th incarnation of the Eduard 109 on the market at the moment.

Cheers

Hi guys,

Sorry for not posting for so long, I've been on my jollydays and I got so busy before I left and never posted.

Jeremy your 109 came out looking a real beauty, a real nice finish, well done sir .

Nomad congrats on the Anson, I really enjoyed watching you put her together and you did a fantastic job.

I also have had a few probs with my Spitfire, I was happy to be away from it for a couple of weeks but now I hope to get back to the bench in a few days.

Cheers....

Guys, finished the Spitfire last night:

There's still a few flaws with her but trying to clean them up I'd mess more up than I fixed. Also I used MiG pastels for the exhaust and gun stains. Most photos of BoB Spits I've seen showed them immaculate but I though she looks better with a little something there. I'm still new to the powders so they probably still need a little work yet.

Am still working on the figures, I suppose they're about half-way done so far:

Gamera-nice job on your Spitfire.  I especially like the paint/weathered effect.  Good job.

Oh yeah!!! Nice build Gamera!!!

Gamera   Nice job, the Spitfire looks great you did a fantastic job. Well done.

Gamera your Spit is just stunning mate!!! Well Done!!!!!

Thanks guys - it means a lot.

I'm just glad to get something done and off the bench!

Now to finish up the figures...

Gamera-nice job on your Spitfire.  I especially like the paint/weathered effect.  Good job.

Gamera, top finish, you've done a very very nice job. I really like how it came out

Cheers...

Nice looking Spitfire, the weathering looks really convincing.

Thanks again guys, you're too kind

Actually the finish is kinda rough if you look closely at her, the photos don't really show it. Anyway as I said I've got a pile of stuff on the bench, somehow it's always easier for me to start something than to finish it. I'm just happy to get something finished.

After some of the limited run kits I've been struggling with the Tamiya kit is a gem. No fit problems, no putty, no problems! The Tamiya Spitfire Mk. I earns the Giant Mutant Turtle Seal of Approval!

Spits going in a bag with some Mr Muscle oven cleaner when I get home tonight, I've ordered some gunze acrylics and I'm gonna start over

Cheers everyone...

again......great job Gamera

First off let me give a shout out to everyone here for all the great work, I'm floored by the quality of stuff you guys are cranking out.  Back at the bench after a month's hiatus in Japan.

 A couple of minor disasters, dropped it  and broke the antenna mast off the tail and I put a split the canopy.  If you've got a big pile of masking tape you're going to wad up and throw away make sure the canopy didn't accidentally stick to it, ask me how I know this.   :o  Sent an email to Eduard inquiring about purchasing a replacement several weeks ago and still no reply.

Paint and future applied.  Jagdwaffe Vol. 2 Sec. 4 suggested a 70/02 for hashmarks and fill on the fuselage sides and 70/71 for the upper surfaces.  Paint is Gunze acrylic.

Interesting camo scheme MIke... I like it!

Mike  that is a very hard cammo to paint it is looking great so far.   I have a spare canopy if you want to tackle it. It is a photo etch frame canopy with film windows let me know if you are interested.

Mike I'm lovin' that camo!!!!!!! WOW!! Always love seeing complex camo patterns well done, and you have done that one justice!!!
