No fake tan for me...
No interest in my GB either... Oh well, can but try! I would love to see though a rapid build GB sometime, maybe a week, or even a weekend. Be a great challenge!
Occasionally theres a weekend build comes up. 48 hour builds. havent seen one since...november last year?
Have been fighting with my TSR2 cockpit resin set, I hope I have won. I am aiming to finish up the cockpit in the next few days, and then the real fun begins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is one of those "off the beaten path" themes, you either catch a bunch of people thinking the same way or it fizzles quick, I suppose. I know I have an ESCI kit in the stash I could have thrown in with, but I've got a full plate right now.

Darn that "work getting in the way" - if only I could find some other way of buying kits and supplies. Oh, and food & lodgings. Clothing too...

As there is some interest in clearing out old Esci, Matchbox, Frog (and others) kits, when would be a better start date for the GB? 1st Jan?

Anyone doing the new Swordfish? What's the skinny?
Haven't seen one yet!
Did some more work on the Widgeon. Here's the aircraft as it was before I began work, and as you can see, the squared off section which filters the wing to the body is both a different size and offset, from the body! I sanded it down, which means I lost a little squared off bit, bit it's smoothly faired in now
I used some spare acrylic I wanted to finish off to prime the aircraft. It went on a bit thick, but it did it's job, and I can see that both the ends of the wing where it joins the body had a bad step despite the filler - so more work! Also, the starboard engine needs a tad more work, and the wing tips need some filling too.
Back to work! Since the picture was taken, more filling and sanding, and the tailplanes have been added in. They needed a lot of work, as the prongs that go into the tail are deformed. Still, once cleaned up, they were OK. They do seem rather far forward though.
My Airfix Mk1 Spitfire is done. Here is a pic of it and another of a Airfix Mk1 Hurricane I did awhile ago.
On the bench: 72nd scale P51D, P47D Razorback

Hey Noah, nice birds. Um i dont have you on the list, did i miss your entry?
Yeah no biggie. On pg 20 I started the Hs 129 and mentioned that I had the Mk1 Spit going on prob just too far along for the rules. Thought I'd post pics anyway.
BTW on the Henshel i'm waiting to go to Bobe's to plunder the decal boxes and then it will get paint.
Wow, somehow i managed to miss ALL of page 20.
Ill sort you out now.
The old Airfix Spitfires and Hurricanes still build up really nice, don't they? Great job on the assembly and the painting. They look excellent.

Nice job on the Spit Noah.
Nice Spit Noah and the hurricane too
good progress Centhot the Widgeon is nice
rtoo speed makes ugly results, too relax don't make results
Nice spitfire & hurricane Noah, I hope my hurricane turns out as good as yours!
Well being sick with the flu is not fun, so I'm limited to what I can do modeling wise.
I scratch built wheel wells, and masked a few things ready for airbrushing, im going to be drilling out spots for guns will a very small drill bit, and I marked this out in the pic, hopefully clear enough.
Coming along nicely, RRB. You are more amibitious and daring than I am to drill out those little gunports. I just cover up the area with a red decal, representing the tape.
Sorry to hear about you getting the flu; but when I was young, it was a good excuse to obtain a new model: "Mom, I'm sick, and can you get me a model to do while I recover?"
Most times it worked.
Get well soon.
Thanks, I won't drill out the holes though if the drill bit isn't small enough, actually now that I check my decal sheet those decals are actually there
Somehow I don't think that will work for me, the answer will probably come out with something like "Zac don't already have enough of them in your cuboard, what about that ugly one?" - (referring to the BV P 194).
What I need is some future thinner so I can airbrush my model, and come up with some lame excuse like, "can I go outside in the backyard to get some fresh air?" when I would really be airbrushing.
Fresh air is important when you're sick.
Fresh air in a can!
