  1. I'm only familiar with the Hasegawa kits but they are really nice kits. Great detail and fit.
  2. I need the cash more than the kit. If I can't sell it I'll build it at some point. Kit is complete and untouched. $250.00 plus shipping
  3. This one's been in my stash for a good while so I guess it's time to build it. I have some good after market exhaust hiders and some wide prop blades that are needed for this particular a/c. I'll use some Eaglecal decals for markings. Makes a BIG model!
  4. Since I wasn't able to come up with the checkerboard markings for this build I've decided to go with a different scheme. I over painted the white rudder and cowling with GSB then went back and applied the white wing and tail markings for this VF-10 a/c off the Intrepid. Now to come up with enough 6's for the side numbers, etc.
  5. Thanks!! I'm pleased that you like the results of my labors! LOL Maybe you could resume work on the Typhoon now? Difficult but not impossible.
  6. Done and RFI!!! https://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/20423-old-mold-revell-fw-190-completed-and-rfi/
  7. Calling this one done! I wasn't real sure I wanted to build this old mold kit with the plethora of raised rivets etc but finally decided to go on and try it. I'm glad I continued with it as I think it turned out fine. Here's a list of the modifications I made: 1. Replaced canopy with a Hasegawa item. 2. Replaced canopy headrest, etc with correct Eduard detailing parts. 3. Replaced cockpit with Eduard resin set. 4. Added FineMold belts. 5. Replaced centerline bomb/drop tank rack with Hasegawa ones. 6. Sanded off ALL raised rivets. 7. Lightly scribed panel lines. It had many fit problems, especially with the Eduard cockpit set. The set was made for one of the new tool kits and, since this is a old tool kit, it just did not fit without a lot of work. Painted with White Ensign Colourcoats, Testor's, Humbrol, and Tamiya. Decals are Eaglecals. I hope you like it!
  8. LOL Dennis. Silk purse from a sow's ear. Thanks! 🙂
  9. Thank you Kevin (I think!). I thought my previous mottling jobs looked good......... Did they look "wrong"?🙄
  10. Most of the painting is done. I still have to go back and paint the gear wells and re-paint the struts. Also paint the black panel behind the cowling. Some touchup then overspray with clear gloss. Decaling and weathering to follow.
  11. When I started this build I had no idea what problems with fit there would be. If I'd known it would likely still be on the shelf! LOL It appears at this point it will turn out okay but I'm not counting my chickens just yet!
  12. I think it's ready for some paint! 🙂
  13. Got the sanding and priming done. Not anywhere near perfect but it'll have to do.
  14. Yes indeed and NOT my favorite thing to do. 🙄
  15. After trimming the strip plastic I decided to try to get a bit more dihedral. I'll let it sit for a while then go back and see how it looks now. No Peter, the cowl ring is from the kit.
  16. I think the elastic helped with the dihedral. Next I'll trim the strips I put in and do some puttying.
  17. I'll go see how well my "adjustments" have helped and post a couple more pics. 🙄
