Kermit ruin me with the first gb involved

Just nicely back from a 10-day vacation. Now I'm trying to catch up on all the work at my office!

Owl - congrats on being first across the line! I'll update the build roster with a link to your pic page.

Jeremias, great display space you have there now - wish I had room for one that large where I am. And your Super Etandard is starting up just as bsyamato's is finished - wonderful timing!

bsyamato - great job on the SUE, love the final pictures! This is your first GB project as well!?

Bsyamato, Great work my friend! It´s realy nice to finaly see your finished model, as the guys said you did a great job with the brush painting. I´m very glaad that the pictures I post help you a little with some details.

The background of the pictures is very apropiated too, is that the sea in the horizont?

To see your finished model makes me want to progress a little more faster in mine, I will try to do so.

Congratulations my friend.

Best regards

yes is real sea , mar jonio, a piece of mediterraneo sea i live at just two km of the coast.

heres a shot from my house

thanx for comments and pictures friend was really usefull to detail dead zones not found on web

unfortunatey forget to take pictures rear the ejection seat before glue all pieces

Your etendard looks good till now and show the correct panel lines under the fuselage, academy kit was wrong on these details ..

At least some progress on the Super Etendard, not too much but something..

I filled and sanded the gaps, and have to rescribe some panel lines.

The fit is quite poor but nothing that with putty and patience any modeler could not solve.

I´m also working in adding a little detail in the wheel weel, I just have started, and still have to add some hidraulic lines.

I also perforated the inside of the airbrakes.

Also have glued the weels halves, Exocet, extrnal tank and some other parts. I hope to post more pictures this week.

best regards to all

El Jere,

What a great display cabinet you have!

How do you open it?

I'm about to make one but still not sure what will be the best system to prevents the entry of dust and humidity. Here at Azores, in the middle of the Atlantic, the humidity is always very high.

Thank for the coment on the display case guys, I´m quite happy with it too!

Like you, I live in a very humed and hot climate, about 40-42ºC inn the hotest days of summer and up to 0% humidity, so I know what are you talking aout LOL.

The cabinet have a lateral door in one side and in the othr side you open it by takink a portion of the rar wooden panel wich is screwd to the metal structure, it isn´t vr practical but it works... I belive that if the system works here it surely will work for you, I think we share the climate, but I live in a mediterranean province so I doon´t know about the sea enviroment.

let m know if you need to know something more about he display case.

thanx for comments, really appreciate   

i ever painted with brushes ,in twenty years some trick i learned with brushes

probably with an airbrush i cannot get good results ( but some day i must get one)

Will follow the gb for a while before to return on the harrier, need to finish others subject for the others gb involved.

Grerat job, that look brilliant. And brush painted as well.

Bsyamato -- you've done a most remarkable job! I think this is the most detailed (the scratched additions are amazing) and realistic brush-painted model I've ever seen! I've been spray painting for 32 years and have literally forgotten what it means to dip a brush in paint and apply it to a model. This one visually competes with air-painted models, and that is an outstanding accomplishment.

Finished pictures for the Super Etendard , my first finished kit for a GB

as you see i miss the 04 numbers on upper wings hope to get in future, and the sink mark , becaue decided to ambient the plane before the mission.

Hope you enjoy this little plane

that's all

last mods was the ejection seat more details and cockpit rear bulkhead with some intrsuments , holes and a tube added.

This looks really nice, be nice to see the final pics.

tonight used the boost on the sue:

part of last added pieces

the wrong gear pieces, gears idraulic actuators was shorted to fit correct, gear doors too

and... at 3:35 pm i finished it

tomorrow will do last retouches and take decent outdoor pictures, now is time to locate my bed and use it

great challenge to translate englishntine language

post some picture of the model ,probably someone can aid to resolve it

no updates picture of the sue, but workin on.

detailing ejection seat and the rear seat zone, thanx to el jere pictures . Lots of problems encountered on the main gear/gear doors assembly, needed to resize some piece: probably is a kit bad engineering, will post soon pictures about this academy\italeri error. wings main pilons too ,needed to place in another position to avoid touch between exocet\fuel tank and gear doors

I hope tomorrow finished pics and errors pictures report

Great cabinet El Jere

how many of my planes cockpits could be saved from dust in all this years with one of this.

This afternoon will work hard on the sue, yesterday glued gears (hope no cats introduced during night )

Nice display case, and some nice builds in there. Look forward seeing how the Etendard is coming on.

bsymato, great work on the SUE, yo are almost there! Mine is quite stoped now, but I hope to make some progress soon.

For the last couples of weeks this wer taking all my modeling time and money

I have a new display cabinet, I´m quit hppy since now my models will be shown of properly and safer (the ironic prt is that in the progress of taking the models from the display cse to this one I broke several LOL)

This week end I will post new pictures of my Etendard

Azorean

Congratulations OWL!

You are the first one to finish the job. Nice Harrier.

 

wait? Im the first one to finish? cool.

Congratulations OWL!

You are the first one to finish the job. Nice Harrier.

I was surfing the net and found this pics about a SIG South Atlantic:

Some are from the Milton Keyne Show. Nice town.

 I was there 6 years ago for a training course.

bsymato, looks very nice. I like the detailing on the landing gear. Looks like your not far off finishing either.

yes, i'm just on 99% complete panic from 3 weeks

bsymato, looks very nice. I like the detailing on the landing gear. Looks like your not far off finishing either.

OWL, nice job, pulled that kit out of the gutter. regards the outriggers, its looks to me like the landing is set to in flight angles. The front wheel looks more like the pic of the harrier hanging from a roof than the one you posted of it on the ground. But even without that, the outriggers look to short.

Nice job, and nice pics. Thanks for posting.

My little Harrier is finished!

The outrigger wheels were too short to touch the ground, but I can get it to balance on the main gear.

Bish:

 

OWL, assuming that is Stanley, then that would have placed that photo as after the conflict itself, which is fine as thats allowed.

But apart from the drop tank, i am finding it hard to see the lighter colour underneath. But as long as your happy with it.

 

 

thanks Bish. If you look close at the front landing gear door and gunpack (?), they are a distinctly light color

probably you get the most confusing picture of the gr3

at a firts look the color of hangar behind, causes a strange contrast .

so guys, just to not seems dead some little sue update

details added on the front gear and retraction arm replaced

a stolen piece from the airfix sue donator; the exocet pilon

right noe painted various nose antennas, plus added the little tube on the right and replaced (because i brek the original ) under yellow antenna

all others pieces are just ready to be glued, some more details on the seat and rear seat and it's finished !!

Ye, i had looked at that. Yes it does look a bit lighter but not as light as the drop tank. And the green on the nose looks like it just carries on, i would have thought the lighter underside would be more visable there. But it is hard to tell so certain.
