While your at it Miss Owl, Could you put my P 47 on the front page instead of (if not both) my P 38.

Thanks Big Smile

Miss OWL,

Nearly a year ago i started up the RoG hurricane mkIIc for the GB.... I must admit i completely misplaced the front windscreen and ended up binning the project.Bang Head

This afternoon at my LHS i noticed the shop owner was experimenting trying to sell some airfix kits, which he never done before and i ended up taking this box home with me:

Airfix 1:48 scale Hurricane Mk1

I was hoping my big charming froggie eyes would be able to persuade you to change things up on the front page and list this one instead of the mkIIc? It's bigger tooCool

Got started on my Gekko.....

I used some craft acrylic paint for the aotake. It splatted a good bit (and clogged my airbrush quite often!) but the flash on my camera makes it look worse than it really is, I think.

....working my way up the airbrush learning curve......

Theuns -- sweet build! I especially like the way the salt chipping came out, I must have a go at this -- or hairspray or those AK Interactive things! These old Otaki kits are fun, aren't they?

Cheers, Mike/TB379

Here are the latest picson my Jug. I used some charcoal to weather it. What do you all think

There is a little bit of Flat Black paint on the exhaust stain. It is a lot darker in person.

Owl: I'll admit a Viggen in American markings looks a little funny to me - sharp work! Love the Ferris scheme on her.

My daughter used to like "Babylon 5."  Built her a model of it, hung it from her ceiling with fishing line, and glued myself to the fishline with superglue.  Had to holler till somebody brought me fingernail polish remover.

Embarrassing moment...Embarrassed

nice progress greentracker! :)

I stick my fingers in wet paint too.....

Thanks Ms. Owl. That must be a occupational hazard. We just can't resist picking it up. Especially when the matte finishes look dry. Geeked LOL

That's a nice, attractive camo scheme to look at; finely and subtly weathered, too.  Good work, Ms OWL!

I'm sorry I forgot to tak a few pics of my Jug Thunderbolt before I painted it tonight, I'll take a couple of pics tomorrow. This was the first time i used my airbrush in a long time. I need to do some touching up where the colors change from dark olive to neutral grey. Also, I need to get rid of finger print in the paint. Embarrassed LOL

Looks great Owl Actually, everyones builds are looking great.
