Tape worm ?

The addition of sawhorses is priceless ! Great work!

nicey!

after the crash , I had it replaced by this... ( big thanks to Wolf for helping me to move this across the border )

Always a gentleman, thank you kindly my friend. Thank You buddy, definitely a decent kit. Only down side is the clear plastic, other than that , lots of fun ! Thank You Rob, I am just fooling around, the engine will be hidden to cover my flat learning curve Thanks Tony, Dauntless is definitely a great opportunity to go wild, I haven't decided on the particular a/c , but you won't be disappointed ....I hope Yeah, sound about right Hubert, I have been staring at that picture for a while and that would be the most feasible conclusion.... also, you forgot about I-16, Mig-3,19,29K, 190D-13,11, AviaS-99,199 , birdcage, Hellcat, Hayabusa you name it LOL Thank you Phil, it is for sure a great kit, We shall see , what I can kick out of the box once done.

I have to run out, so just a quick series of pictures from this morning. I clean up the engine a bit and refill the underside that cracked, the clear parts are super brittle and I was rushing as usually. Putty carnage on the cracked fuselage I was shaping the cowling, adding few dings and dent, still undecided on the plane Not sure if you guys can see it on the picture, but here is my attempt fro oil-canning. Naturally it will get some extra love in the near future.

Thanks Kais, the picture was taken shortly after the battle of Midway.The damage is obvious, but the name is puzzling "FALSY" or "FILSY" ?, hard to say.

I use to have similar hood on my 1990, but then this happened

brush, 1/72

Who Hooo, hold my horses ... everything is happening so fast here, you are making it look so easy Tony. Good show Sir. Cheers Martin

Needless to add, that my role-models in terms of finish is Chris Wauchop and detailing Wolf and William

A lot, I actually suck really bad in airbrushing and regular brush is my saving grace. It boils down to the paint and thinner. I use to use ModelMaster for quarter century, but just recently switched to Mr.Color.

Lots of vodka for sure

Thank You Carl. As of this moment I am releasing an executive decision to make your life easier. Those are dents on the cowling, hail from Calgary or something. Here is another low-res shot and

And the 8-ball is on the left side as well

Or maybe I should finish it as a black 2 with squished insignia and 8-ball

Guys check out the messed up cowling on number 5 It would be nice to know what was written under the canopy frame. And what happened on the leading edge of the right horizontal stabilizer . Here is no.4

That dark wash is little bit too dark LOL, engine looks like some kind of barn-find And the Trumpeter's seat-belt won't cut it either Here I thinned the edges of every opening and add some plumbing. Currently working on the rubber seals for the gear bays. Main wing was partially distressed. It is hard to capture the effect in my poor light conditions , but you can see through the open slats

This is not exactly a serious build that will be meticulously recorded. I decided to slap it together for fun. Kit is super nice with exception of the rivets that i may re-punch with a beading tool in order to recreate the raised look. This whole thing should be out of the box, with addition of the deep charge or maybe seat belts. I started by priming everything in automotive primer and opening the slots on the wing Then interior went together , primed and dark washed. So as the engine.

Yeah, they are different. Such an elegant aeroplane. British construction school was so by-polar. Creating beautiful airframes such as Lanc. , Spitfire or Triplane as well as disasters such as Blackburn II, Hayford or Gannet.
