Sim, buddy i'm not building a 1/72 kit, i'm going down the 1/48 eduard A-5 path....Nice start you made there too mate
and my bad!!
Again great to see so much and quality progress!!!!
Well I have had a good night at the bench and got a fair bit done, well it looks like it anyway in this scale lol!!! First off i want to introduce my modelling buddy Scarlett.
and here's the progress on my 190, the office,
the fuse closed up with said office in place,
Tomorrow will sand and fill the seams and move on to the wingy things. Enjoy!
Looks like a good start Richie. Your modeling buddy looks very happy in that picture. My modeling buddy went out the door last Monday morning and vanished never to be seen agian. Really bummed me out all week.

Hello All,
This GB continues to roll like a fast freight. Nice start Richie. Nice and clean for 1:72!
I've had to put off the final final for the Ta152. I broke my detailing AB with a stupid move. I twisted off the threads for the head inside the body! Luckily, I was able to extract the broken piece without further damage. However, the exhaust stains will have to wait until the new head arries next week.
I am building a Bf109E-4 over at BoB 70th now. That build is a breeze compared to the Ta152.
I shall return! I have an A-5, a D-11 and a D-13 in the stash!

I guess we will have to wait for the final pictures Clebode. I will be over at the BoB GB sometimes next week to. I am also going to build a nice simple Me 109 E-3 1/48 Heasgawa kit. The almost seem to build themselves. See you over there buddy!
soulcrusher ...Heasgawa kit. They almost seem to build themselves.... Soulcrusher
...Heasgawa kit. They almost seem to build themselves....
I second that Coach. My BoB bird is a Hasegawa too, 1:32 scale. Compared to the PCM/Rutman I think I could have de-sprue; cut a hole in the box; add glue and shake to have the plane come out.
Ok, just a few just before I finish it up pics. I wanted to get them up as I am on the road working this week. Still need to put on the pito tube and aeriel wire. I left some of the panels posable for different looks. Hope to have final pics up next weekend
Ive also being doing a bit of a diorama for this one as I was building it
Steve
Gorgeous work, Steve.
Building Now:
1/48 Academy Bf-109G6 - 100%
1/48 Tamiya F4U-1A - 5%
Upcoming:
1/48 Revell F-14D
She looks great Steve! I love the detail on the engine. Looks like it was worth all ofthe extra effort you put in with all of the open panels to show off the detail.
Steve, outstanding build very cool...I hope mine looks as good as that....
Thanks, guys!!!!!
SC, hopefully your modelling buddy will come back!!!!
Steve, she is a stunner mate!!!!!
Sorry Sim, i didn't reply to your pics
Looking very nice there, very crisp and clean...A great start i would say
simpilot34 SC, hopefully your modelling buddy will come back!!!!
Unfortunately Richie it's pretty much a given once they have been gone more than 48 hours you have about a 1% chance of even seening them agian around here. Alot of wooded areas and lots of other critters wandering around. It seriously bummed me out all last week. He was hand rasied by me from when he was only about 5 weeks old. He was 8 years old and the second best animal I ever owned. Only my pet wolf was better.
Guy, Richie, great start there fellas, looking really great. These pages sure do shift along and I'm champing at the bit to get started on mine but I gotta finish my Spit first. Keep up the fantastic work everyone
Steve well done on a real beauty, cant wait to see those finished shots with the last few bits attached, I really hope mine comes out somewhere near as good as yours has
Cheers...
Mike
Woo Hoo Steve! That is a fantastic creation. Here's to you!
Man, there is some serious work going on around here, stunning builds!
Mike (Tbolt379)- Thanks for posting up those pics, I see what you mean about the headrest. Looks like you have your own little fleet of 190's going!
Frank
Guy- You never cease to amaze me with your skills and speed at the bench, I bet by the time I finish typing this you will be getting ready to spray some paint on it. Very impressive!
Richie- Great work there, and new toys for the bench too! Let me know how you like that new scribing tool, always on the lookout for better tools.
Mike (Luftwaffle)- Looks like you are making major headway now, well done! Thanks for the reference photo too, have never seen one showing a good view of the hook for the W.Gr.21's before. Interested too in those brass barrels, trying to source some for my Spitfire right now but everyone is out of stock!
arki30- When I first looked at the photo, I thought it was the Tamiya kit. Amazing how similar the Hasegawa kit and Tamiya look as far as breakdown etc. Looking good!
Crusher- I am very sorry to hear about your buddy, that is terrible! Still, I shall keep my fingers crossed that he returns. Hope you are doing better now, though those things are never easy.
Clebode (Can I call you Hugh?) Saw your name at the bottom of your sig line, OK to call you by your first name? Bummer about the AB, hope you get it sorted out soon so we can see some finished photos!
Steve- That really is an impressive looking beast, beautiful work! Looks like you are almost to the finish line!
Steve- Looks great you're in the home stretch!

STunning work as always, Steve! I love the finish and weathering!
Daywalker Clebode (Can I call you Hugh?) Saw your name at the bottom of your sig line, OK to call you by your first name? Bummer about the AB, hope you get it sorted out soon so we can see some finished photos!
Frank--Please call me Hugh if you like. The AB just needs a part and TCP/Badger delivers in 3-4 days. I should be done this coming weekend. Just the exhaust stains, minor weathering and the antenna wire left. Nav lights, pitot and belly antennas are on.
Daywalker arki30- When I first looked at the photo, I thought it was the Tamiya kit. Amazing how similar the Hasegawa kit and Tamiya look as far as breakdown etc. Looking good!
They are very similar. Hasegawa's cowling is much more complicated in assembly however. Or I seem to recall Tamiya's cowling was simpler.
Hey all, not a lot to report so far. Ive got the fuze together and the wings on. Eduard have really made getting the wings on a trial. Ive now done it twice, with the 190D and this one and geez, theyre not wrong when they say this can be tricky. Ive had to trim some of the inners a fair bit in order to get the wings together any fashion. Also another biggy is the top part of the engine bulkhead (Small triangular bit) There is no positive locations for this bit at al. Luckilly im building it closed up again. Im sure there is a way to build these sweetly, but im beggared if i can find it LOL.
Anyhoo, pics,
I must admit, the positive 'Click' you get when the wing snaps in place, is just lovely,
...Guy
Guy---I see you are proceeding on your usual leisurely pace. The photo and comments about the wings are helpful because I may build an Eduard D11/13 for my second for this GB.
All who expressed sympathy--TCP reports the new A head is enroute. It should arrive in time to let me finish the Ta152 this weekend.
