  1. Thanks, Troubles solved. The Reply button finally appeared to me. Thanks, Paulo.
  2. I wish to ask why I can not post replies in some posts, like the two reviews from the 1/32 tempest aftermarkets posted in the forum. I could not comment or reply in the two posts. Is a limitation for all users, os only to me? Thanks, Paulo.
  3. I'm still preferring the Revell kit. Almost so good as the trumphy, much better than the tamiya, and with a price more acceptable. I have two revells and one Tamiya. About the trumpeter one, the price of this kit even made me run out of the purchase. Cheers, Paulo.
  4. Clostermann had two tempests coded JF-E. The nª NV774 and the NV724. The NV774 has no inscription. Only the NV774 was called "Le Grand Charles" and has the inscription. This is NV774: And this is NV724: Cheers, Paulo.
  5. The only bad thing that I found in the Special Hobby kit is the absence of the "Le Grand Charles" decal. But even with this the kit is excellent. Mine is to be delivered this week at my home. And then I will analize it to decide what afters I will buy. At least the resin mengine and the engine covers, plus the Big ed, for sure. I'm nutz to start mine. I'm a big fan of Pierre Clostermann, and could not let this kit escape... Cheers, Paulo.
  6. Hi, friends. After a long time out, i'm back with this new kit. Is the long know Folgore from 21st Century, who besides appears like a toy, because some caracteristics, like the screws who close the kits covered by plugs, and the unusual plastic, who not be glued by the usual glues, only by CA. Despite these details, the kit has good fittings, and requires almost no putty. I filled the depth of the lines, riveted the kit, improved the cockpit and made some more scratch details. From aftermarket, I only used the resin discharges made for the BF109. The painting was made with Tamiya acrylic, totally freehand. I found the nochiola chiaro 4 very dark, according to the references, so I brightened a little. Despite this, it was still too dark. The colors used were XF52 lightened with XF60, XF61 and XF25. The radio line is maded with Uschi Von der Rost Rig that thing. Comments are welcome, even the bad... Cheers, Paulo.
  7. Nice work! I'm waiting my own kit to start...This one is a very good reference! congratulations!
  8. After a long time away from the forum for health problems, I'm back with this old kit Hasegawa P-51D. It's very old kit, with raised lines, poor details and other issues. But as all the old hasegawa kits is accurated. And as I bought some time ago a lot of PEs for this kit, I think I'll get a reasonable result. This is the kit: These are the PE sets that I Have: I'm not intend to use all of them, only the necessary. The remain parts will be left for any other Mustang. I will use too a resin wheel set, by True Details: The version to be executed will be the plane nº44-15569, piloted by Ltn. Roscoe Brown, in the exceptional 322 Squadron, the "Tuskegee Armein" at Lamiteli, Italy, March 1945. The markings will be painted in the kit using a mask set designed by me for this. And to start the kit, I raised the correct lines and removed the rivets of the fuselage and wings, then rebuilding some rivets in the fuselage, as would be the real plane. Then I began to detail the basement of weapons, with the PE set. And as the set only has the machine guns part, I closed the cover of the cartridges because it would be with a much lower quality than the parts with PEs: These PEs caused me a lot of extra work because they are designed to the Dragon Kit. The fitting are poor, and I has to reshape them to fit in the Hase kit. Thias caused some torsion in some PEs. But as the rough parts will be covered with the guns, I left them as is. So I sawed off the flaps to let them lowered. I simply could not resist to start the cockpit assembly, then I solded the PE seat and glued this to the cockpit part. Soon, I will be posting new pictures.
  9. I use Tamiya Extra thin, Tamiya regular, Revell contacta pro, Cianoacrilate low, mediun and high viscosity. For each case I use one. For canopies and PEs, I use gator's glue, and to fix lead weights, I use silicone glue. Cheers, Paulo.

  11. Man, these PEs are great! The front office looks like the real one!
  12. Nice model, Man! Well finished! Congratulations! I ever like the Marseille's planes.
  13. I'll be praying for her too! And with the blessings of God s she'll be fine!
  14. I used to utilize paper towels to give a polishing in the Tamiya Acrylic paints especially the matts to remove the grains of powder from paint that went on the kit surface. Then I discovered that the paper released numerous fibers and stopped using this. Now I get the same polish result with a paper coffee filter, who not release fibers.
  15. Thanks, Jamme. These are the pictures of the kit, after a few months: Now is repainted and redecaled. I'm at this time doing the wheatering. In a week or two, i could post the results here.
  16. Hi! This is my first post with some of my work. This is an Hasegawa 1/32 ME109G6 kit converted to a ME109F4 with an old conversion set by aires, and with a set of decals of Marseille's planes, by Eagle Strike( A great mistake). This kit was assembled in 2011 and I was very happy with the results. Unfortunately after a couple of months the decals reacted with the combination of Acrilic paint, a future coat and the varnish used and then cracked all the lower surface and the side of the fuselage. I'm actually repainted the kit and applied a new set of decals, this time a hasegawa set, without future. It's almost finalized. These pictures was with the original painting job: Soon I will post the new pictures, with the repainted kit. Cheers, Paulo.
