Gamera Nice work Owl! Somehow I missed your earlier post, good job with the cards to build up the spartan cockpit and I love the use of the stug wheels for the compressors etc.

Danke! :)

Ive made a few changes to the Viggen's appearance: lengthening the nose cone by sticking a road wheel in there (also from the Stug kit), adding on conformal fuel tanks, and changing the wing-shape a bit. All those changes, plus the fit of the kit meant filling and sanding. Yay...
painting next!
checkmateking02 Since it's spring break, are you building the model in Ft. Lauderdale? Good looking progress, by the way, Ms OWL.

thanks checkmate :)
Beautiful work Theuns! Love the NM finish, the decals, everything!
Winetanker 1/48.... It'll be a week or two before I get started, but should easily beat the deadline. Nice scratchwork on that cockpit. What kind of jet is that?

....working my way up the airbrush learning curve......
While home for spring break, Id figured I do a quick build. But knowing me, I had to add some detail. This is an older (hasegawa) kit I picked up at a vendors table for a buck, so I dont feel bad mucking around with it! lol
This is an JA-37. First off, there was no detail in the cockpit, just a floor and a plain chair..scratchbuilding commence! I used plastic card, and some old gift card to build it up. Everything here not silver plastic was adeed by me. I even scratched an IP [ painted up and looking good next, I decided to add internal detail, a la intake ducts. Spare road wheels from my Stug kit supplied the details thats all for today. Stay tuned for more! :)
Theuns Hi all, Here is my 1/48 Hobbyboss Mirage 3 cz in SAAF 2 sqn colors (in France) just before being delivered to South Africa in 1963. Alclad finish and a resin Bangseat. All the decals except for the Castles and finflash are from the kit and worked very well over the alclad. Theuns

That's a great-looking NMF. The plane is outstanding. Good work!
Superb job, the Alclad came out fantastic! Sweet!

Ken: Nice work, I wish we'd see more P-38s around here, used to be my favorite fighter as a kid.
CallSignOWL nice, Greentracker. Can you post more pics?
nice, Greentracker. Can you post more pics?
Weeellllllll, Seeing as how I don't think it turned out very good, I'll take a coupl of pics of it side by side with the finished P 47. I also will post more pics with the Academy P 38 when I get it, WIPs and when It is finished.
OK one more pic
I also learned a valueable lesson with this kit; Don't put the smallest parts on untill the very end.

CK - Yea, Punxy Phil did not see hus shadow. It was 70 degrees here (NW Pennsylvania) today Where ar you at?
Thank you for the eencouraging words about my Lightning.
Very nice looking, Lightning, Greentracker. NMF looks excellent.
Looking forward to seeing what you do with yours, too, Theuns.
And, as an aside, the force of nature is about to drop 8 more inches of snow on us tonight, and two more tomorrow.
Didn't the groundhog predict an early spring???
P 38 Lightning Finished
That is no lie!
I hope to simulate this look then done - www.saairforce.co.za/.../mirage-iiicz
well, its shiny! :D
Here is my 1/48 Hobbyboss Mirage 3 cz.
Black undercoat it Tamiya X gloss black enamel.
I put on the alclad pollished allu to heavy and lost the tone difference , but I will add it later with oils and a pannel wash.
The underside however look awfull after my airbrush spluttered , too late now!
so our force of nature wasnt very forcefull.....just a day of constant snowfall. So much for winter storm 'Q'
Thanx mate. The only hassle I had with this kit is the VERY fine pannel detail, I lost most of it withing the first sesion of priming and danding, so I will not I think be able to do a pannel wash. I hope the different shades of alclad will be enough, I also intend to stain some of the pannels with highly thinned oils , so stay tuned.
All of these tecniques I will need on the Mirage and the newly acuired 1/32 Tam P-51 and the 1/48 Hasa F-86, so I am learning on a cheap model.
