    And to think it could be 1/3 bigger 🥺 Hubert

    I ordered ( and just received) 3 of those, from Armory. Whilst not as fine and detailed as the one I designed, they are very good, and much better than any IM R-985 … Hubert

    What Carl said that Martin said ! Hubert

    IIRC, from other build threads I read, it’s the cockpit structure that interferes with the wing-to-fuselage joint. I may be wrong, but « forewarned is forearmed » … Hubert

    Are these metal or resin ? Keep going. It’s a very interesting build Hubert

    Interestîg approach, and looking forward to see the results. Hubert

    « Blown away » looks like a most appropriate description …😉 Hubert

    Nice progress, Ernie. Yes, the photo-etched IP looks crisper than the plastic one, but just adding Airscale decals would already have produced a convincing result. It just shows that Infinity are on the (normal) learning curve of a new kit manufacturer, with each new one better than the previous one. Roden, ICM, and even Special Hobby - or Tamiya for that matter - did not do any differently. Keep it coming, as Peter would say Hubert

    This is where I realise that, as a Frenchman, my command of English is not that good … I never imagined that « roughing » a kit meant what I saw in the above pics …. 🧐 Hubert

    « Rushing » is not part of my modelling vocabulary, Martin. « Procrastinating » on the other hand …😜 Hubert

    WOT ? I thought it was 75, but then realised it was only 45 … Now if you shorten it further, I am sure I will (again) prove I am bad at Group builds 😂 … Hubert

    I think it’s going a bit of time still before DBMK’s releases (there is also a Sea Fury) are available… Hubert

    I’d sell at least 3 kidneys to get a 1/32 Beech 18 (and a good 17 as well - having in the stash both the Scratchbuilders’ resin kit and the old ITC / Staggerwings Unlimited IM « kit », I know what « good » means ) Hubert

    Hi Marcin, Thanks for the offer that I will gladly take. I’ll PM you my email address. My build is stalled (but not relegated to the SOD ) and needs resuming. Other life events took precedence, as happens very often. I saw you finished build on LSP, and was in awe with the result. I’ll be happy if mine turns out half as good as yours ! I saw your build received a number of awards. Congratulations ! Each award was absolutely well-deserved. Dbaj o siebie przyjacielu ! Hubert

    Well, this is as far as I can go on the cockpit and IP detailing, Thanks to Airscale 1/48 decals (yes, 1/32 dials were too big for the IP openings), some AnyZ detailing bits, and a decision to go for less realism, and more visible details, this is as far as I can go. Not the best with macro-photo, but it looks good enough to the naked eye. Time to move on to other parts, like the seat, and the wheel wells. Maybe I can finish this one before the deadline 🤞 Hubert

    Worth it, but the right question is : « Do you need a 1/24 Spitfire in the stash ? » Hubert

    As i have low interest in flying eggbeaters, I went digging. In summary, the Viper is not so old (first IOC in 2011), and is said to be faster and more agile than the Apache, with an air-to-air capacity the Apache does not have, but it has less firepower. Definitely not a choice guided by economics only ... Hubert
  19. HubertB
    I suspect you get more Vipers for one Apache … Hubert

    Some squirrels are known to be hungrier than the famed carpet monster 😉. Yours was a lost cause, Ernie 😂 Hubert PS: besides loving to tease you, my friend, that’s a bummer. Fortunately, Revell have a good spares department

    And a great post-scriptum this is 👍 ! Hubert

    De nada. I like kicking ass 🤣 Hubert

    When working on the details of my Cutlass cockpit recently (for which I need to make pics and post an update), I found out that a toothpick, which can be trimmed to the point you want, and dipped in paint, is a better ally - for me at least - than a brush … I thought immediately it could work on the kit’s recesses representing the fasteners Hubert, still insisting that you ruin your racer
  25. HubertB
    Seeing the above pics, you now need to highlight those very visible fasteners on each side of the cowling, Rob Hubert, or how to give advice to ruin a perfectly good model 😂
