Mmmmmm, HPH Me 410.....very sweet kit (review next week!)

Looks great! This is on my radar for the future

You did a great job of finishing and building that 110 Ralph. Gives me inspiration to pull finger from ass and complete mine. Hell, there's only 2 or 3 days work left!

So good in fact, that I just ordered one

That's some great buckling The end is now in sight.....

Looks great. I always shy away from metal finishes, so kudos to you! I know what you men about the Tamiya vs ZM kit. The Tamiya fits great, but the ZM needs a rake of filler and a prayer book.

If you're a rigging virgin, the D.VII might have been an easier option, but the Hisso isn't too difficult. Can't understand why you didn't go for a DH.2 or an FE.2b

You know it makes sense Steve We should have the Roland C.II coming soon, so watch out for that one too if you need a further fix.

It's a good job I have total faith in your ability Peter. If anyone can do this and pull it off, it's you. Sawing that casting must've been nerve-wracking.

Come on Rick, how is this going?

Cheers, I'll give that a try. Most streaks are gone, but that's after two hours of swearing and threatening to take up origami instead.

I've had minor success. My only real impression of my attempt is that is can leave a streaky film over the original paint job. I had to work it in to get rid of the streaky appearance. I'm thinking I could just have applied misted coats of randomised buff and RLM02 and got a better effect. Yours truly, pissed off....

What do you use to fade something like RLM76? I was just thinking white, possibly the odd dot of pale grey. If you streak in direction of airflow, I presume that accounts for the fuse too? That's a serious length of fuse to streak.

Come on Mike. You don't want a slack-ass reputation like Dave

Fantastic! Just don't airbrush at 150PSI

Hi Petr, When do you think we'll be able to see this? Also, just bought your Ju 88 resin cockpit, C-2 conversion, and fuel tanks for my mega-Ju 88C-0 project Check it here: http://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/2455-ju-88c-0-wnr0880133-4dfh/

Great tips guys. Very helpful. I have the markings almost applied now, then it's the stencils and a wash. Looks like I'll be hitting this early next week

Can anyone give me a proper description on how this is done? My Bf 110 is in the vinegar strokes of the project now, and I'm looking at wanting to soften the hard edge RLM74/75 splinter camp, and to fade out the masked/sprayed markings. I know the best way to achieve this is with oil fading, but: what colours would you use for this? Is it applied to matt or glass finish? How do you tacked the RLM76 underside? I'm sure there are other questions I've not asked, so if I missed something, feel free to tell me. Cheers!

I found the depth of the pit to be a little bit of a hindrance when it came to airbrushing. I had to use real low pressure and thinned paint so it didn't blow around and leave a rough finish. Can't wait to see you tackle this, and that Sea Hornet IP looks amazing

Great looking pit John. Almost a shame to close it all up.

Looking forward to it Ralph. I promise to post mine this week. I laid down the pre-shade and RLM76 undersides this weekend.

That is just incredible. Got to be one of my favourite builds in ages. I'm not as brave as you. I'd need an injection kit to satisfy my Halifax liking....I just wish there was one.

The best thing to do is to give them another bath in Future. That should strip it back to plastic. Dust...a serious pain in the ass. I keep dipping and dipping until I have a bubble and dust free finish. Then set on absorbent paper, and cover with a container to stop anything settling on it.

This was one kit I really wanted to build, but was put off with all the talk about it being totally the wrong shape. I'll watch this one as I quite like the Lightning.

Serious space! I'd kill for an area like that.
