Keep us posted,

G-day Bevan, nice work mate, the vertical streaking in the exhaust stain is a nice touch.

Lovely scheme choice,

Cheers,

Hi Bevan, I've got some of the markings on the corsair now so I should be able to make an update as soon as I replace my camera cable.

While Im at it I'll post my 1:32 Ta 152 Cockpit WIP pics . I know it doesn't exactly fit the theme of this thread but hopefully you'll like them ....

 

Upgrades in clude Eagle Editions Fw 190 resin seat, HGW seat belts and Zoukei Mura etch ( but the Instrument panel isn't in these shots yet)

Rivets were made with the "Rosie the riveter" 1:32 scale -1mm-large wheel. Not sure if the large wheel is still available for the 1mm size though.

Hi Everyone, here is the start to my 1:32 RAAF Spitfire Mk.Vc. I've used the Aires cockpit to boost up the otherwise grim and barren detail provided in the Hasegawa kit. Yep, its an old tooling but most of the general shapes are quite good, besides, I thought it would be fun to do a complete rescribe and rivet and breath new life into an old kit. Kind of "a diamond in the ruff" if you will. No doubt there will be of plenty of aftermarket, kit pilfering and perhaps some head scratching ahead of me but I think the results will be worth it in the end !

 

Here's a pic of the A/C I plan on doing. It appears quite weathered thanks to the "top end" Aussie climate its been living in. Its the best continent on earth if you ask me, but hey I'm bias.

 

Anyway onto the pics.......

 

 

 

The work so far on the Aires pit. Quite nice detail if you ask me, except for the the seat which seems to be a little bogus due to its somewhat oversized nature. Mmm just like whats going on inside my pants but lets keep this g- rated shall we thanks Pete. Ok, so I would have used the seat from the 1:32 Aires set for the Tam. Mk. Ix Spitfire but it seems undersized compared to the Aires Mk.V cockpit . Mmmmmm what to do ?

 

 

 

I still have more detail to add in the cockpit such as the oxygen tube, rudder pedals and fuslage frame and I've also thrown in some Eduard placards which really added some extra spice (sorry no photos yet )

 

 

 

 

I've gotten rid of those old raised panel lines by rescribing them and I've added rivets to the entire airframe aswell. This takes a heck of a lot of time and I still have a way to go yet. Apologies for the crap photography but it gives you an idea of whats going on. An ink wash will highlight it better for the pics, but thats for next time.

 

 

Thanks for your intrest,

Cheers,

Peter Olsen

[1:32 Tamiya F4u-1 "White 126 Tojo Eats Sh$%"]

Hi everyone, here is my 1:32 Tamiya f4u-1 WIP. I've been working on this one on and off for a while now (amongst other things) and after following "DoogsATX" thread I thought I should also share my work considering we're both doing the same aircraft. I hope he doesn't mind....... Its quite interesting to see our two different takes on this A/C 

 

"White 126 Tojo eats sh$%" is a fascinating subject and from the look of the photo, quite worn looking. I've tried to capture the essence of the pic and generally how corsairs looked out in the pacific. its not perfect and theres still plenty of work left to do with weathering etc. but, I hope you like what I've done so far....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

By the way, its my first trip to Telford this year and I'm pretty excited, so please say g-day I'm more then happy to chat . Only problem is ..... you don't know what i look like- no i'm not some faceless vampire like modeller, i don't have a picture of my self to post.
