  1. The built-up examples of Airfix' forthcoming 1/24 Typhoon and the sprues:
  2. Two pics of HK's B-17G: And the IDF update of the venerable M60 Main Battle Tank; the Magach:
  3. HK's built-up sprue-shot of the Meteor Mk.4
  4. Hmmm, I've made these pics with a 16Mp Nikon, compressed them to under 2Mb for upload but still the pics are being thrashed further compressed to around 58Kb. ALL detail is gone! Anyone know how I can upload to larger resolution? The pics are somewhat hampered by high ISO noise as it is, so....
  5. My pic's of Iconicair's Spiteful Mk.14 and the accumulator trolley; bot 1/32nd scale.
  6. The decal options are also mind blowing...! Hehehehe!!!
  7. I use a Nikon D7000. Not that you'd need one to photograph models but I like to take pictures of flying aircraft too... Been toying today. The best pics get made outside where you have the normal daylight color temperature. Tip: if making pics outside; the lighting is best with a light overcast, it filters the harshness of the light and gives nicer softer shadows. Also don't forget that daylight in winter is much more blue than in summer, when it's much more yellow. Where I live we have a temperate sea climate: that means quite some rain unfortunately, so I have invested in some studio lighting to get "daylight" inside. And enough of it, for that matter! See: http://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/1633-dutch-decals-spitfire-lf-mkixc-lsk-322-sqn-netherlands-east-indies-1948/ I'm not quite satisfied with the results but that probably has as much to do with the settings of my camera because I shot the first pic in JPG, while I normally shoot RAW... Didn't feel like tweaking photos in Lightroom today but that turned out to be a wrong shortcut! This was the set-up thrown together for today. If I was seriously photographing a model I would include a paper background of a neutral color. Now the tabletop had to fulfill that function which meant I couldn't take horizontal photos because I didn't want all the clutter in the background showing! Errr... now I'm saying that; please ignore the mess!
  8. Been playing a little with my new studio lights and selected the 1/32 Spitfire built by Luuk from Dutch Decal as the victim! JPG's straight from the camera, no tweaking. I'm not completely satisfied with the results yet. But enough about photographing; on to the model:
  9. Oh, I thought he mastered it? Or am I wrong?
  10. Hmmm, the observation pod would be feasible...
  11. I really can't think of anything.... The Camel is being developed, right? I think I should start finishing them.... At the moment I'm Dave's replacement... His warehouse stock is slowly finding it's way to my adress. With some bleed-off to the Jeroen's, Jim, Umlaufmotor and AIR Modeller too, of course...
  12. And now for a serious reply: I like these photos very much because they can serve as examples for detailing parts. I really want to try the pencil-method for the prop, for instance!
  13. There's only one emoticon possible for this: It isn't called "kwijl" (drool) for nothing.... Yumm!
  14. Bertl, you should contact David Parker of AIR Modeller with this! It wouldnt surprise me if he would like to run an article on this! This really is great!!!
  15. That would be this version:
  16. And they're issueing a new-tool EC-135 too this year. The ADAC (medical) version is on the Revell Germany site. Seems that a Dutch Police-variant is coming too!
  17. Nice! looking forward to the in-progress pics!
  18. Indeed a nice choice! But a Navy-plane? I don't see folding wings, a tailhook or a catapultbar!
  19. Did I see the unmentionable written out loud? It's time to call: BTW I hope so, too!
  20. Great "derelict" scheme, Jim! Looking forward to the weathering you'll do on this one! Too late! But you know I love you, dontcha?
