Battle of Britain GB 2006 - 1 May to 31 Oct 06

Looks good Bob.  Nice work.

Regards,  Rick

Bear-Nice build. Looks good with a clean finish. A weather would give it the edge (nudge nudge)

Rick-Very nice. The white nose does make a differance.

Bob-You gotta delete the link to the pic of your car. It just ain't right seeing a grown man in a yellow bubble

The 109 looks excllent.

Well, finishing touches going on the 109 this weekend.

Just finished the basic weathering, now for another gloss coat, then some Tamiya smoke, a flat coat and pastels and the model will be done

Then I have to make the base  for it to sit on and to hide the batteries.

Hey!

How'd that get in there

Bob, Scott, Dave, Rick, Karl, Marc, Sean Thanks for the pos feedback it's greatly appreciated .

Sean your right it would look better dirtyed up a little.  I'll probably give it a go once I finish this next round of home reno's.

Bob your 109 looks super great work.

Rick your 109 is comming along quite nicely looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Cheers

Bear

Thanks guys.  The decals are now on so it won't be much longer.

Regards,  Rick

Sean, Bear & Karl-thanks. 

Karl-I know that feeling-not wanting to start a project.  I'm  getting to the 'do a piece of armour' phase.

Rick-looking forward to seeing the 109 with decals.

Scott-looking forward to seeing your Spitfire.  I need to do a Tamiya Spit BoB sometime soon.  Last one I did was the Monogram version.

That Tamiya Spitfire Mk. 1 is a nice kit.  The only issue is there are some seam issues in the front and back of the wing to fuselage, more so at the front.  There are two fairly wide gaps in the curve from where the wing meets in the front.  Other than that it was a typical 1/48 Tamiya kit as far as engineering and ease of assembly. 

Got the decals on my Emil.

Getting close to being done .

Thanks Marc.

Rick-looking good.

Very nice Rick, almost there.

Cheers

Bear

Regards,  Rick

Cheers

Bear

Thanks Dave.  Hope to finish it in the next few days.

Regards,  Rick

Thanks Marc.

Regards,  Rick

Looks good Rick

Well she's finally finished!!!!

This is 'Yellow 14' flown by Lt. Franz Fiby in July-August 1940.

The only additions were a Eduard c/p set which also included the radio compartment.

The mottle was done with a foam pad stolen from a Meguiars polishing kit.

Worked quite well I think

When I was putting it all together I made the radio compartment up and figured it was to dark to see anything once the fuse was together so I installed an LED to make things easier to see.

Before

After

Thanks again for another great GB Darren, and thanks to all who participated.

Considering the 'funk' we have all been in I'm both surprised and happy that so many kits were completed.

Hopefully the next GB will find us all with our mojo back.

Cheers fellas!!

Very nicely done Sean .

Regards,  Rick
