    Incredible how fast this one is going together. I may just have to try my hand at one of these. The only 190 I've attempted was the Hasegawa A-8 and it ended in failure.

    All the way from Ireland.

    Still plugging away at this. The HAD decal sheet doesn't include the Ejection Seat triangles so I tempted fate and used the kit ones. 40+ year old decals. I was surprised they didn't explode on contact with the water.

    Oh same here.

    Yup, the airfoil is upside down. I should have a spare Fisher folded wing if you're interested. I had asked for the straight wing when I got my kit and Paul accidentally sent the folded one. He sent the straight wing afterwards so won't need the folded one. Let me know.

    Wow.

    Stickers on! Well, some of them.

    I'm not looking forward to spraying the yellow on the helmets I have.

    This will.be great to watch. I've got one of their MH-60 kits in the stash.

    Got a side door they drop stuff off instead?

    I haven't seen it listed yet. I'm checking every day for what comes up at least once in the morning and again in the late afternoon.

    Finally on her legs. I gave the fuselage a light panel wash using Mig Storm Grey panel line wash. It's subtle but is there.

    Thanks Martin! The original kit missiles were pretty plain, especially compared to the Eduard ones which is why I swiped replacements from the F-4EJ kit.

    Rob, the engine looks great. Nice job on masking the cylinder heads.

    Me too! Currently there is the Doyusha Stratos in 1/12. I've got one and it's very much a product of the '70s but is reasonably decent. Italeri have announced a new 1/12 kit for sometime this year. How much an improvement it will be over the Doyusha one we will have to wait and see.

    Just a quick update on the Wheels and Wings kits. They've started listing them on their website. Prices on more recent plastic kits is okay but older kits and resin ones are looking to be good deals. Just missed out on an Iconicair Spiteful that sold for $25 USD but did manage to grab the Eduard re-box of the Hasegawa P-40N for $100 USD. Still waiting on what the Fisher ones will cost.

    First I need to see what price the shop is willing to sell them for. If it's out of my budget, this is all moot. The thread Scott mentioned is worth the read. Not only does Paul reply but so does Alistair who runs Aerocraft and has a lot of experience in resin casting as well. Both point out the inherent shortcomings and hurdles that would need to be solved. Then of course there's the issue of taking someone else's work and basically ripping it off unless some agreement is arranged beforehand. Lastly, scanning and moulding is way above my knowledge base.

    More progress on the Tomcat. I finished the seam work and touched up the paint. I then finished painting the antiglare panel around the cockpit and the tips of the vertical tails base I then added the Pheonix pallets. Landing gear was next. Finally I did the detail painting and decal work on the missiles. I used Aim-7s and AIM-9s from a Tamiya F-4 kit. The Aim-54A Pheonix missiles are by Eduard.

    Baby Boot looks awesome. Can't wait to see what you can do with big brother.

    Looks good there Kevin. I need to do a Mossie with invasion stripes one day.
  21. BlrwestSiR
    Not me either.
  22. BlrwestSiR
    Fun in the mountains!
  23. BlrwestSiR
    If that is anything like their armour kits, it's going to be a great model.
  24. BlrwestSiR
    Here's what I have. I also have an F-8C that's started.
  25. BlrwestSiR
    I would be up for that.
