    Stunning work Rob! The Spandau guns look great!

    Thanks Harv! Hope that you are better now? Have you already moved to San Diego for further testing? All the best for you! Cheers Kai

    Just started yesterday with the build. Prepared the cockpit-tub and the IP for Eduard-Brass application. Also finished the IP. Eduard really offers so tiny parts which couldn’t even be held with tweezers. Wonder if they ever testbuild every part of every set they make... Next step will be the detailing of the tub. Cheers Kai

    This is real wood! Amazing work!

    Hi Gaz, Thanks for your quick answer and the foto. Your 3 foiled planes are all beauties! And all very colorful! Nice idea to paint a camouflage over foil! No paint-chipping is more realistic! You are also very fast! Never thought that a job like this can be done in several days! But it’s like you said: experience is what makes you quicker. It’s a pity that all information on the B-29 is lost. This is a really big model in 48 scale and a challenge for foiling. I almost model in the late evening/ night because I have a job and a family. So I‘m in a comparable situation to you not always having time. And modeling isn’t my only hobby. Would be great if you could give me the link to the video. Thanks again for your pictures, tips and explanation. Much appreciated! Cheers Kai

    Thanks again for the further information Gaz and the tips! You are already really experienced with foiling! Good to know if I have a question. I will try to get the stuff from Microscale too. Do you also have a single foto of your other BMF-Models? I‘m very interested to see the results of your efforts! How long in average do you need for foiling of a complete aircraft? Thanks again and cheers Kai

    Thanks for your feedback Mike!

    Thanks for the fotos and your explanations, Gaz. Awesome looking Widow-Maker! I believe it’s 48 scale? Lots of work you put into it! Even foiling the inside of the intakes! Which foil do you use? Normal household I suggest? The hot metal zone looks quite realistic! Do you use the eggshell-method to achieve the color? And which glue do you use? Clear Laquer? Peter once told me that even if you only change the direction of applying the foil gives a different but not patchy look. I should really give it a try on the 48 scale 104 I have in my stash! I‘ve sealed my Alclad 104 with Future too. Good protection! What are the other planes you foiled? Thanks again for your explanations! Cheers KStadt (Kai)

    Great work on the tracks! These AK-Colors are really beautiful. How did they fix the tracks on the real thing (no superglue available in 1945 )?

    Thanks Gaz. Following your arguments I should really give it a try. I don’t know if you know Peter Doll. The foto below shows one of his beauties. He’s a friend of mine and has done a lot of beautiful foiled birds. Sounds like you already did a model with foil. Do you have a picture of it?
  12. Kaireckstadt
    I did it in Alclad II. Didn’t dare doing it in real foil. Was too anxious to screw it up. Nevertheless the result was acceptable for me. What do you think?
  13. Kaireckstadt
    Didn’t realize these lights and their protection frame. Nice details (and well done!). I have a question, Carl: What do these markings on the body mean? Is it production data? Nice detail! Haven’t seen this before!

    Thank you for your feedback, Martin! Much appreciated!

    Thanks for the info regarding the Manchester! Seems to be lot of work you had to put into it! And you have a unique model no one else has! Your progress is really nice! Which colors do you use for the black and cockpit green? Looks quite close to the AK colors I used for mine (cockpit green and RAF night).
  16. Kaireckstadt
    This absolutely worked out! Looks really convincing! You are also using AK Real Colors? Me too, they are simply beautiful!
  17. Kaireckstadt
    I wouldn’t do either Gaz! It‘s only specialists like you who know that. And since I think you do not plan to present it upside down nobody will even recognize...
  18. Kaireckstadt
    That looks great Gaz! Interesting Idea with the Main-Gear Door fixing. Keep on with the brilliant work. One Question: Seems, that the small inner L/G-Doors were closed after it was extended? Didn’t know about that til now!
  19. Kaireckstadt
    Stunning result Pete! How long did it take to paint the figure? The camo of the uniform is a real challenge to paint so realistic as you did!
  20. Kaireckstadt
    Gorgeous looking Jeep and Crew, Jeroen! Will try the AK-Oils for the faces too. Looking absolutely realistic. The finished diorama will be stunning!
  21. Kaireckstadt
    Nice comparison fotos thanks! I have a question: what is the reason that you changed the wing connection at the Manchester? The HK-Solution also allows wing-removal. Is it too weak?
  22. Kaireckstadt
    Looks absolutely awesome, Rob! This will be a real eyecatcher!
  23. Kaireckstadt
    Another lovely piece of art is growing!
  24. Kaireckstadt
    What about RedFox items in addition to Quinta?
  25. Kaireckstadt
    Thank you for the nice compliment!
