Doug, best wishes for the wide. My better half has mild Asthma and i know what a pain that can be.

I have switched to Vallejo for larger scale figures and much prefer it. For smaller scale i just stick to Tamiya as i don't worry to much about finer detail.

Looking really nice there, i am likeing those colours.

I got the wings on the Spit. I have a few seams to fix but nothing major. I still need to add the wing tips since I'm not building the cliped wing version.

In front of the Macchi 202 and PE for the Fletcher.

 

Coming along well there Steve. Looks like you have a nice bench full.

Nice work on the pit there Justin. But just a note on the colur, the cockpits and exposed areas of RAF night bombers was black.

 

 

 

 

Bish, I was using the callouts listed in the kit instructions....they call for the interior green on the floor, and a very dark grey...just this side of black...for all other surfaces....I'm not too concerned, as once it's all closed up, not too much will be visible. ...

 

No worries, just thougt i would pass it on. I only found out when a few years back i was fourtunate enough to get inside the BBMF lancaster.

Brandon, Steve, Toshi, Justin, those look great guys!!!

 

I pulled apart the cockpit I'd already started on with my Tempest and re-sprayed the interior green yesterday. Hopefully I'll have something painted to photograph this week. 

 

Thank you Gamera!  This kit is very challenging.

Afternoon all! Pre pics... Toshi... Nice work on the figures! That is one thing I struggle with. I've been told its the brand of paint. Most tell me to use Vellajo... I'll try sometime. Greg, Hope your better bud, Just went through a spell of Asthma type ills with my wife. Antibiotica, steroids, cough meds, on and on...But shes doing better now.

Any way... Progress pics, Not alot but progress none the less...

Model Master Dark earth on Tamiya Sand yellow...

That seat looks great Toshi!  I can only imagine a figure in that scale...I just painted two pilot figures for my 1/72 Lancaster bomber,  and holy moly. ..they are small!

Here are Moy progress pics so far....

Here are three photos in regards to the pilots seats.  I haven't added the pilot as I'm not good at all at painting figures.

Well, dang...I'm going to need to get my butt moving on this build!  I've gotten the flight deck mostly assembled, some of what Vallejo calls interior green, which appears to be much lighter that what I've seen here, applied, and starting painting the smallest pilots I have ever seen in my entire life!  Pics to come soon. ...

But I have been doing lots of research on the Dambusters raid, I'm listening to a book called "the last Dambuster", and I have been watching documentaries on youtube about the mission....

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.
