Gaz, I think you mean the TA-152 not this one.
You might be right... might be my sometimers.
Now... Where did I park my car?

Vehicles are fun.
Until the thingamijig breaks but you're not certain whether it's that thingamajig or some other thingamjig that is broken. Then you gotta pay somebody to find and fix the correct thingmajig, but they always helpfully find some other thingamajig that needs fixing, rendering fixing only the first thingamajig pointless. Because in 2-3 months, you'll have to replace said thingamajig if you don't follow their suggestion.
If I sell my 98' Hilux and buy a new one, I'll never be a back yard mechanic again.

Is the cockpit RLM 66 or shiny red?Cheers Rob
Sorry I missed this part. I left the cockpit gray, though not a particularly dark gray. I didn't see much point in making it a flashy color.

Nice looking bird of prey and the Colour fits great. I wonder how it would compete as a racer. Maybe they have to create a new class of high altitude races.

In researching the Reno Air races taking place after the war, the class using Mustangs and Corsairs were won around 486 MPH. I imagine with good fuel, this plane might have competed well.

Wow wow wow! How did you get such a smooth glossy finish!?
Thank you, Tony! After 6000, and 12000 wet sanding, I used Meguire’s buffing compound. It’s a liquid, not a paste that I got at a local car parts store. Oh... and microfibre cloth that hasn’t been used for anything else or contaminated by dirt.

Me again....
I've spent an obscene amount of time trying to make it pretty....
Bits and pieces:
Three views in the sun:
A few more touch ups... and then hopefully I can get it polished up satisfactorily before Hell freezes over...

HI everyone!
With WNW releasing a Dr.I next year, I decided it was time to build this kit. Already had a go at screwing it up... but onwards and forwards!
The kit box and PE.
I hate PE... but I must somehow learn to master it. So, I'll try to use all of it.
First was the back wall of the cockpit. The Roden part made no effort to look like canvas:
Although the removal of the plastic squares went without problem, trying to smooth out the rest caused some of the plastic to crumble. Once I got all of the associated pieces together, it looked like this.
I assembled the Oberursel motor, too. Tiny little thing. I made the plug wires with EZline. Crappy pic... the next one will be better.
Nothing pretty... but that's how it goes!
Come fly with me!

I think it's a fine pit, Harv.

That looks great! I've really got to get PE fenders and other soft metal parts for tanks. Plastic just don't bend right.

I almost missed out, how cool is this? Very nice build Gas. Is this a Dragon kit ?
Cheers
M.
Thank you, Martin! Not Dragon, AFV club. Pretty nice kit. About the only negatives are rubber wheels and PE with no bend marks. I didn't find the rubber wheels too daunting, I roughed them up with a Dremel and then hit them with pigments.

Rob,
I really like the way you've done the uniforms. It gives a worn look that shows areas that would get the most contact with outside influences. Can't believe they made a guy pissing. Good but... At least he's not pointing off into the distance.

Great pics guys! Thank you for sharing! Great to see some of the guys here represented. Lots of talent there.
My local show is coming soon. I've volunteered to judge this year. Hope I remember my glasses. Not submitting anything, though. My skillz need more honing.

I paint on the verandah.... winter or summer. I use a shop compressor which my wife 'loves' to hear. My house is a haven for cat and dog hair. At least on the verandah there is no cat hair. Two weeks ago I got my first Tamiya anti-static brush. A gift from heaven! Already drastically reducing the amount of crap that ruins my surfaces.
We got aircon in the house last year. Now, I don't have to sweat to enjoy my hobby in the summer.
