Well yeah Richard my screen looked like a game of scrabble man Stick out tongue Couldnt resist the temptation to rattle your cage a bit. Stick out tongue

Cant wait to see your ummmm Warthog buddy. Hey got a bit of work done on the P-51 today, have the flaps almost ready to go back on. Then the ailerons get the same treatment. The fusealoge is all smoothed out already too, kind of suprising to me after building a half dozen of these kits, not much in the way of seam troubles. This is an older kit too in the small box not the larger repop, that must be the differance the molds were newer when this kit was made I guess. I am going to try and build another this year but I want to do it Griffon powered with the 5 blade prop, should look really cool swinging that thing off the nose.

Hey guys n gals,

Basic camo has been applied, as well as a mild black wash overall to bring out the engraved stuff. Since this kit has alot of raised detail i am planning on doing some drybrushing as well:

Having the canopy posed open ofcourse i did some work on a little pilot dude:

More to follow soonWink Hope you like her

I'm always confused so it wouldn't be a change for me.

Nice work on the A-10 Kermit!!

Well i'm gonna be really working on the Tomcat tomorrow. Been at work a lot lately so I haven't gotten to work on it. There's a small step at the resin nose and the fuselage that's gonna give me heck.

Great work on the A-10 Kermit and fantastic work on the pilot!

Ok, here is the Dark Shark, frankly the fit isn't too bad for a limited run kit. The big problem is where I accidentally smashed the starboard intake (circled in green in the last photo).

Ouch!  That'll be a challenge to fix,  Looking great, otherwise.  As I said on another thread, GB's push me beyond my comfort zone.  However, you've got the skills to fix it like it never happened.

Cheers. Toast

Thanks guys! Think I've got the intake fixed, if I can keep from breaking it again- somehow every time I pick up the model my fingers seem to close right over the wing root and the intakes.

Good save there Gamera. Kit's looking good too.

Here's what I'm dealing with.

 

There's a step there on the nose where it attaches to the fuselage. Working on fixing that.

Yes, thankfully my little buddy Kenji helps me with the delicate stuff.

 

MM: Yes, I've had resin parts push everything out of alignment too. Looks like you have the matter in hand though, sometimes you just have to sand the krap out of things Angel

I dont hate decalling my builds, not at all.....

But these "super decal sheets" that revell pops in to some of their offerings sometimes take you awhile...Ick! Just about halfway through after two evenings... Just the undersides left and all the ordnanceYes

here is what stage im currently up too on my P-39Q

this is the 1st time ive ever painted & made seatbelts before, did i do ok?

and here is what the cockpit currently looks like. i had to everything from scratch since airfix doesnt give you anything to detail. Sad

the front panel where all the dials and things are i made from scratch and im painting all the dials on it today, before i go to Hobart (the capital of my state, tasmania).

i would appreciate comments Big Smile, so what do you think of my first attempt of painting/detailing a cockpit?

the seat-belts look good, RRB. The cockpit is good for a first scratch-build, too.

Gamera, Medicman: I know both of you will be able to tame your builds...cant wait to see more!
