I think I finally found passable replacement for ModelMaster interior green. AK real colour RC 306 lacquer/ IKN M3 (M)Mitsubishi interior green Please ignore the fresh wash. Just another experiment with tonal modulation 😈

Glad to see you around William. Did you miss me ?

this is probably the first one I've seen finished. Well done, Any chance to post few pictures in the finished work section?

At first, I didn't understand why would you touch it, but the last picture explains it all. Totally makes sense. Well done Sir.

Now I want to build Helldiver With all of the touch ups in place, this is going to be one serious contender for the Nationals this year. Can't wait

And again, such a beautiful result, weathering is subtle and feels realistic. Joy to look at. Bravo!

This is museum quality, just a treasure to behold. I am going to find my jaw now.

I had no idea how you do this John, but it is impressive. Clean and sharp, I like it.

One word : STUNNING !

Stunning Corsair John, I really like the overall finish.

Beauty, it's quite impressive how much detail they pushed into this kit. Chewbacca would be so proud

Really nice to see Canadian armour. I like the finish as well just like the real thing. Thanks for sharing. Cheers Martin

Fantastic result, I guess you will be adding some kind of antenna wire thingy ? :), this plane is so ugly ( not the model) that is actually quite cool. Epic build Ernie. Bravo!

Harass away my friend.

Thank You Sasha, Reskit has become a household name, quality of their product is top notch.

What a great collection, Wild Weasel is my favourite , thanks for sharing Jarry.

Welcome to the forum John, Really nice progress on your 109. Cheers Martin

Some nice pictures here

hold my cranberry juice RF 823. IY-5 arrival to CSR on 19.12.1947 with 108,4 flying hours 20.01.1947 at the unit LZ6 Pilsen 01.01.1948 at the unit LP 24 17.09.1949 test flight after rearming 20.09.1949 at the unit LP 25 Kbely May 1950 test flight after repair by the 09.06.1950 totalling 251 flight hours (152,2 in CSR) 24.10 -06.12.1952 as a training tool for transitional course at the Kbely Academy Then in 1952-53 it had become a valuable source of balsa wood fro the local model building community. Allegedly there was one surviving example as late as 1954 at the Brno-Slatina base hangar Having said that please note the interesting date of rearming of all planes of British origin with at the time, readily available trophy German guns, sights etc. This was caused by the western weapons export embargo that took effect after February 1948 when the last standing democracy in Eastern Europe fell as a result of communist coup and rigged election. Unfortunately non of the Czechoslovak mosquitos manage to survive and commies made sure that anything even remotely deviating from the ideology of socialistic dogma shall be annihilated. Their departure from the Czechoslovak skies meant a swan song for freedom and democracy as well. What follow could be called 40 years of darkness, but that's a different story altogether

Perfection

That ring around the glass, if I understand correctly, would be a canopy seal applied in form a tape.

I wonder , why the rest of his group disengaged? Im finding hard to believe that all of them who I’d all of sudden encounter at technical problem. Did they get a direct order not to? If not, how did they explain their action. If so, was Williams violating a direct order? something doesn’t line up in this story
