Gift GB

Another one jumping back in here Bish. With the E.III done, I'm stoked to get going again on the D.VII.

Nice to see this started wayne.

This will be something to see, Wayne.

this is going to be a hoot to paint and colorful. since no one knows if they even existed, i can paint it almost any color i want.

Nice one Tony, I am looking forward to seeing this one.

I've finally got back to my Jaguar, since it's been a while, I'll post a picture of what it should look like.

The body has been prepped, primed (a couple of times) and has the gloss white on. Next step will be to mask the purple areas and spray them.

The chassis is sprayed, the wheels are done, I need to paint the details of the cockpit and continue with a few other things.

Cheers

Tony

no i don't have plenty of time if i am going to put it in ipms nationals this aug. but that is why i finished the GRIZZLY first.

Looking good Theuns. The wing root looks fine from here. I get the feeling your having the same problem with PB that I seem to be having today.

Still plenty of time wayne, I know you have been really busy as well, just as many of us GB addicts seem to be at the moment.

OK, so let me try put the pix on!  lol

I decided to fill the huge gaps in the wingroot with sprue, hope it will sand OK.

nice base. i hqve been productive, just not here. OTOH i finished my GRIZZLY for canadian GB and tried weathering with an airbrush. hid my camo but just picked up the HUSKY arv (o canada) and won't weather it as much. have been finishing my JGSDF TYPE 96B, working on hull seams for 2 modern subs and  firejeep for other GBs. i think i will work on the boat today between completely rearranging my study (2 computer tables, 3 model tables, 6 book cases)

I haven't been all that productive either, to many distractions. We are trying to break into summer up here, so I have had lots of jobs in the garden to do.

Cool plane there Bish.

I have been extremely "lazy" with modling the past 2 months or so:-(

I finally did some work on the 1/32 Hasa F-6f and the 1/48 Westland wasp, I will post some pix later.

We are moving into winter here and our house is not setup for "working after it gets cold!" Much easier to get into bed than build models LOL.

Theuns

Ok guys, how are we all getting on. Sorry I have let this lax a tad, been really busy the last few weeks, need to pull my finger out.

Very nice indeed Bish. The base piece does work very well...at least it wasn't an old 70's piece of pink bathroom countertop that you had laying around!! LOL

LOL, if only. Thanks Z.

Very nice indeed Bish. The base piece does work very well...at least it wasn't an old 70's piece of pink bathroom countertop that you had laying around!! LOL

Thanks guys. Its just a simple base, a bit of kitchen worktop we had left over from a job. I wasn't sure if it would get used as its so thick, but it does seem to work for this.

X2 on the base, it really adds to it. Great job on everything!

It looks really great, Bish, especially on that base.  Nice job!

Finally got this thing wrapped up. Its been an interesting build, if a little frustrating. But I have learned a lot.

Thanks guys.

Tony, I hope we get to see the jag soon.

BL, ye, I know what you mean. The only aircraft I have built with one overall colour are NMF and black night fighters.

Bish, nice plane! The first thing I thought was, 'That's a lot of green!' The detail is done very well, as is the rigging. Thanks for sharing!

Fantastic work Bish. I've never, ever seen this kit completed before. It's a high standard too.

Cheers

Tony

my wings are fine. the rest of me, however, is warped.

My wings seem ok, it was just the rear section. You can see that the tail is not right, but I can't make out where the twist is in the fuselage. O well, its done now.

Thanks for the comments guys. My other half is happy with it, and as she bought it, I guess I am safe.

No, I haven't built mine yet.  I taped it together just after I bought it.  My fuselage is straight, but the wings are warped.  It's gonna be hard to fix.  I've been waiting years and years for the O/400 to be re-released.  I was a bit disappointing, but I knew it wasn't going to be as good as a newly tooled kit.

Anyway, yours looks great!  I'm excited to get started on mine, but I've got to concentrate on the Spindrift for now.

Looks top shelf to me Bish

Thanks guys. Watchmann, ye, theres a nasty twist in the fuselage so the tail is a tad lop sided. I didn't check and noticed after it was together. Have you built yours.

nice work bish. i need to get cracking on CHINESE TREASURE SHIP.

Bish: Nice job....looks great!
