Bandai 1:48 X-Wing Starfighter ‘Moving Edition’
Wingco57 replied to James H's topic in Non-LSM Reviews
I always loved those X-wing Starfighters. Pity the RAF didn't order them. Cees -
Strange choice, the 1/48 Revell Ju52 was a classic shelfqueen. Cees

Sopwith Camel, 1:8 Hasegawa

Great instrumentpanel, those brass switches should have an off- white base. Cees -
George, Could be, as soon as the definitive length for the moving flap has been determined. The rear section of the nacelle moves inside the nacelle itself when the flap is lowered.

As promised, las pica's. The nacelles have been cut into sections, but the correct lenght still needs to be determined. Trial fit of the flap is satisfactory. Can you spot the difficult job ahead............? Well, The crossection of the bulkhead and the rear fairing do not match. Either Milliput to the Rescue or scratchbuilding a new fairing. We'll see.

Chaps, As the title says unfortunately Edgar has passed away. He had been diagnosed with Cancer. Edgar was a well known participator on the major fora regarding all things Spitfire. He was always quick to answer a question backed up with drawings or other proof. He went to great lenghts to search for information. The modelling community has lost an invaluable member. Rest in peace Edgar. Cees

Revell Beaufighter X
Wingco57 replied to Wingco57's topic in LSM 1/32 and Larger Aircraft Ready for Inspection
Thanks Ian, Or a completely new kit perhaps? Exit stage left. Cees -
Oh well, I have recently moved house and last week a new heater was installed, they didn't mention that it came with water seeping underneath the laminated Floor. So had to rip the 3 week old Floor out Again. Souldestroying and bad for modelling motivation but it will improve hopefully soon. Looks like we are now camping in our own home. Cees

1/32 HPH Models Ohka Model 11

Clock is ticking, tick tock....... Cees -
I saw the wing sprues at Telford, looked nice, bit like the Revell kit but hey the Hurricane had mushroom rivets all over the place on the wings. Very interested in the fuselage sprues, how would they have rendered the fabric skinning. The starved cow way or the subtle way. Very much hoping for the latter. Cees

That is the RAF Museum Cosford location. Cees -
Let's see then, The flaps on the prototype are a single unit. Due to buffeting the nacelles were later lengthened creating split flaps. Here I have to make a single unit again. I left the sprue bit in the middle for strenght. Bridging the gap with plastic card is plan A. Hope it works as I do not want to scratchbuild new ones, but if plan A fails, oh wel. I also want to correct the radiator opening a bit. Tried bending but the plastic is too thick, so the razorsaw to the Rescue Again. Later I will fit more shallower leading edges from plastic card. The fuselage fairing needs to be modified too. The strips on the topwing are marked for removable, this was a postwar modification, so some heavy sanding is needed. This is fun. Cees
