  1. Hi Jeroen , glad you got your CMK wheel bay to fit, looks like the struggle was worth it. I bet you're looking forward to painting, i wish you all the best for the rest of the build, Cheers, Pete.
  2. The basic airframe shape is pretty good but you'll have to do a bit of work to get it up to modern standards though. The kit has raised panel lines, a basic cockpit and shallow wheelbays and under wing radiators. You might want to replace the prop and spinner and get new wheels to. It's a bit of a 'diamond in the ruff' but with a little elbow grease it will shine up ...... I'm still working on mine but you can see what I've done so far in my thread below, Cheers, Peter http://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/3257-raaf-spitfire-mkvc/
  3. Looks goods Colt, Does the Brassin engine fit ?
  4. Juan Villegas's 109 looks amazing ! He does the best aircraft finishes in the whole world, hands down ! I'm getting a copy.
  5. I have several different titles of Kagero Books and I always find their profile art to be quite inspirational ! I do have to say that from the pics above their interpretation of RLM 82 looks more towards RLM 71 though. Also, If I'm not mistaken, it seems as though they've taken their top view profile from their earlier' Top Color' book series. Perhaps something new would have been nicer in this case. Never the less, with those minor nitpicks aside it does look to be a very nice title indeed and I'm looking forward to getting a copy of one. Thankyou Jeroen for the review and to Kagero for tackling this subject. Cheers, Peter.
  6. Thanks Doug, Mmmmmm I'll watch out for the wing joint then ..... Yes, it will be interesting to see what ZM does with their new Fw 190 family when they come out. Looks like you nailed the home brew colours ! cheers, Peter
  7. Very nice Doug, I've been wanting to build this kit myself for quite sometime but I don't have one yet. I like your 81/82 colour scheme, did you use Gunze paints ? I have to ask, what's the story with the wing to fuselage join ? I see a lot of built up kits with a gap in this area so I wonder if this is a part of the kit that is either a little troublesome or just not up to par. I hope you enjoy the Do 335, Cheers, Peter
  8. Looks like they do Ralph ....... http://hgwmodels.cz/en/wet-transfers/404-p-51-djk-mustang-stencils-132-232008.html got any progress pics yet? Cheers,Pete
  9. So, do they have and estimated release date yet ?
  10. Just out of curiosity......... If Eduard has revised the molds of this kit as stated above, how will the consumer know the difference between " the old kit" and the revised tooling ? I'm assuming they won't change the box art...
  11. Very nicely done Marek I look forward to more of your work. Cheers, Peter
  12. Ive always used Future built up in light layers through my Iwata Hp-cs which is all I've ever needed for proceeding steps of decals and oil washes. The only problem I've ever had with it is a pebble like finish which sometimes occurs on on days of high humidity. Other then that its pretty good stuff, but perhaps not really what your after in terms of a super high gloss finish. Have you ever considered a polishing method ? Doogs, your method above sounds interesting I'll have to try that out at some stage. Cheers, Peter.
  13. Hi James, nicely done ! The wave camouflage demarcation on the leading edge really looks great I quite often see a large gap between the wing root and the fuselage on a lot of these kits when they're built up. Is this a fit issue with this kit ? Cheers, Peter
  14. Hi Rog, do you mean C-47, as in sky train ? Please tell me that's right, holly cow that would be awesome
  15. Very nice, the seat belts look great Jeroen. -love the base !
  16. I would love to see a 1:32 190, 109 or 262 done by Tamiya that would just be fantastic !!! Sure they've been done by Hasegawa or Trumpeter, but given the big "T" treatment it would just be fantastic
  17. Thankyou for the comments guys, very much appreciated Bevan, sorry no updates recently as life's been a bit full on at the moment with exams and so forth If I get some spare time I might be able to get an update happening. -till then , Cheers, Peter.
  18. My Aires cockpit for the Revel Bf 109g-10 is altogether to narrow and doesn't even touch the fuselage sides at all. Its almost like the set was designed for another kit. I'll be doing a lot of modifying to get mine to fit. Great detail, shocking fit !!! Good luck with your builds and have fun. Cheers, Peter
  19. Amazing set up, very very cool !!! I really like your white board marker idea for the inside of your spray booth, did you custom make that yourself ? I like the glass bench top to, that would definitely make cleaning up glue and paints spills easier. It must be so nice to work in such a creative atmosphere. Squoosh over a little Ice Man, I'm movin' in too !
  20. Thanks Jeroen All the best for your Mossie. cheers, Peter
  21. Thanks Honza,very much appreciated. Any news with your corsair ? I was really enjoying your start to it.... Cheers, Peter.
  22. Hi everyone, finally got the fuselage and tail weathered in to match the rest of the airframe. Artists oils were mixed with enamel thinner and set up over night then blended and stained into the finish with coton bud sticks and a small dry flat brush. Colours were different mixtures of Black, Burnt Sienna and Phthalo Blue. I hope you like the photos below ........... Starting to come together now ....... I might have to brighten up that "1" again, it seems to have gone missing in the weather. Good time for whale watching off the Queensland coast Thats it for now, let me know if you're enjoying my progress. Cheers, Peter
