  1. Thanks Paul. πŸ™‚
  2. Completed. https://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/20744-grand-phoenix-firefly-rfi/
  3. All done with this one. All in all a nice kit with few fit problems other than the Aires gear wells. I have to question (1) the shape of the spinner, and (2) the seemingly oversize gear legs. Maybe it's just me but I think those two things could be "better". I built it OOB with no mods. Painted with ARCUS Ex. Dk. Sea Grey, Xtracolor Sky, and Dk. Slate Grey. Interior and wheel wells are RAF Greygreen. Decals are from the kit. I had to replace the small "77" on the chin as the kit ones disintegrated when I tried to pick them up with tweezers. Luckily all others did okay after I over coated them with clear decal film. πŸ™‚ I hope you like it!
  4. Thanks Kevin, I'm glad you like the re-do. πŸ˜€
  5. I had built this model a couple of years ago but recently I decided it needed some "adjustments" πŸ˜€). I re-painted and re-decaled for a, I think, more accurate and better looking model. And yes, those are original Luftwaffe boots πŸ™‚. I have 2 pair. I hope you like the way the re-do turned out. πŸ™‚
  6. Ready for some decals. πŸ™‚
  7. Thank you! I think it came out fine. πŸ™‚
  8. Cool!!!
  9. I'm glad you like it Ralph. Thanks. πŸ™‚
  10. Thanks Ralph. Agreed, they are very nice kits. πŸ™‚
  11. Just about ready for some paint. Sky undersides first.
  12. Got it all squared away and nearly ready for some paint. πŸ™‚
  13. Thanks Paul. I like the great detail on Aires sets but they have their "issues" sometimes.
  14. Seems to be a Aires "thing" Kevin. Aggravating!
  15. I'm glad I decided to test fit the wing underside piece. The Aires wheel well pieces will need to be "adjusted" so the wings can fit the fuselage. I've had this problem before with Aires on other models. They don't seem to take the time to mold their wheel well parts so they won't interfere with things. 😠
  16. Making some good progress. The wings are next. πŸ™‚
  17. Thanks Dave. I too have always liked it's looks. Agreed, a 1/32 one would be great! πŸ™‚
  18. My feelings exactly Kevin. πŸ™‚
  19. Resin interior parts CA'd in place. The rear section needed a bit of trimming as you can see. Not pretty but that won't show later. πŸ™‚
  20. This one has been in the stash for quite a while so I decided it was time to build it. Will be OOB. πŸ™‚
  21. Thanks Martin. I miss it at times but it was time to let someone else have it. And he DID get killed on it when someone turned in front of him. Had a wife and 2 kids. SAD
  22. I sold my Harley before I killed myself on it! LOL Was fun to ride though.
  23. I wasn't happy with the original scheme on this one so I decided to do a repaint, etc. I think it turned out very well in the Royal Navy scheme.
