OTS (1/72) GB 2017

Looking goo guys!!!

I got my French Bf 109E-3 done. It's the Academy kit with Berna decals, which are niiiice. I hope you like it. I've ordered some aftermarket wing cannons, but  Ithought I might as well post it now.

Cheers

Veryyyy niiiice!!! Love your work Tony! One question, too late now but, was the prop all one piece? The blades look like they are backwards as in the curved bit should be the trailing edge.

Some nice work going on in here!

Thought I had better stop in and show that I haven’t been completely idle. Got some paint on the Hurricane. Taking a bit of artistic license with the colors but wanted to use what I already had. Was initially going to do the tropical scheme but every example I saw online had the chin filter, which this lacks. Tried for more like the sea hurricane instead. Got a little touch up to do, then a gloss coat and decals. I’ll hit the nonexistent cockpit when I install the “pilot” figure. More soon!

Hi Simpilot,

Sorry I missed your post. Yes they were, I fixed it after the photo was taken. The Academy kit has a pin that protrudes from the cowling, to hang the spinner and props on. The props are molden on a ring on a ring, that is closed on one side, so it only fits over the pin one way. If you do that, you end up with back to front propellors. Luckily it came apart fairly easily and I shaved off the pin and mounted it all with CA, this time the right way around.

Cheers

I procrastinated long enough on masking and painting the top side of th Phantom.  Time to get it done.

and some decals today.

68GT that came out really nice. The metal finish on the tail looks really sharp too.

Thanks, thats Testors' Metalizer stuff.  Non-bufffing Steel and today I hit the lower suff with Burnt Metal.  I'm not sure when this is going to close but I want to get this done.

Thanks to everyone who contributed. 2016 was an odd year and i certainly dropped the ball on this GB as a builder and moderator. Anyone still working on something post it.

Thanks Wayn and the Fujimi F-4N is done.
