It's usually not this bad. Just been a culmination of things and well, just wanting to put stuff together. Like I said, once I get some of these done, I'll do a tidy up and start over n

Wow, that part looks like it should be 1/48. Some serious shrinkage for sure.

Mottled and exhaust stains added.

Funny, my tools are all sorted and away in an organized manner. So the flipside.

I did try to warn you. Anyways, zooming in you can see I got the decals on the FW190 done.

Hope it's industrial sized. My work space is definitely the most crowded it's been. Scott, might be best to avert your eyes. Don't want o give you a coronary.... . . . . . .... I've just wanted to build something...so anything has been fair game. Like I said, I'll most likely clean up once I get a few of these projects done.

The XIV conversion and the Vosper are back in their respective boxes. As is the Stratos and Magach. So technically not on my bench.

Scott, are you doing a K or a plain E?

Actually the Sheridan is on the port wing of my Sea Fury. Godzilla got moved to the pile of open kit boxes. His tail kept getting in the way. For those keeping count (or trying to), here's everything on the bench: - ZM He219 - Academy CF-18 - Tamiya F4U1-A - Border Tiger 1 early - Minibase Su-33 - Special Hobby Whirlwind - Fisher Sea Fury - RFM Sheridan - ZM RF-4EJ - ZM F-4G - Hasegawa FW190A-5 Organized chaos..

Multitasking at its finest!

You saw the pair of F-4s under the FW190 I take it. For me, I think it may be ADHD. Our youngest was diagnosed with it and after reading through the reports and of course his behaviour, there's a lot of similarities between us. I'll probably do a tidy up session once the Sheridan and FW are done and off the bench. Might even dig out the Sea Fury from under all the F-4 bits and get that done too.

Lovely diorama there PW. Fantastic details everywhere you look.

I masked off the yellow tonight. And got it sprayed. Now for a clear coat.

A nice amount of progress there Jeroen.

The new Gecko PACV!!!

Here's a couple pics.

Ralph, it's not a big kit but the detail is nice. Like all Bandai Star Wars kits, it's press fit. So no glue needed. I'll try to grab some pics of the parts in a bit.

Some sci-fi kits from my LHS: And a tank too!

Nice fix on the wing gap. At least it's on the underside so not as visible. I've used Bondic UV gel for instrument glass. I apply with a toothpick and then a UV flashlight to harden it. There's a Japanese brand Gaianotes that does one too that's even nicer but it can be hard to find.

I think maybe slightly more than that. I did get there underside painted though. Just need to do the yellow bits then a clear and stickers.

Your FW190 looks great there PW!

Upper side base camo is on. At this point I noticed that I should have used RLM 70 and 71 for the scheme I'd planned (Yellow 5, JG26). So switch to Plan B, and Black 21, JG51 it is!

The cockpit looks great John. What clear were you using on the instrument faces?

Yes, it's Hasegawa's A-5 kit. @Martinnfbhas been giving me advice on building it.

I got the canopy onto the FW190. The rear part is just tacked in place so I can start on the camo.
