    REACTIVATION of the topic, the tender for the locomotive has arrived in the workshop and only the tracks are missing to make it complete. This is what the printout looks like but there is still a bit of detail and it will be visible during assembly. The railing is with the rungs.
  2. Kriss
    Work in progress, decal applied.

    Painting alternates with masking and this is the effect I achieved.

    And the fine detailing done and painted. And I made the stripes on the tanks by applying yellow and taping the whole thing, then I made a cube out of LEGO blocks with a hole for the tank and slid it out to the right length and made an incision with a scalpel blade alone.

    I've done a little bit of fine detail preparation. I am now wondering how to make the stripes on the tanks so that they come out even and straight. I need to find a simple patent for this.

    Preliminarily the Gannet already looks like this at my place, I am now left with the fun of painting and the rest of the parts. I had to use a few drops of putty and the rest fitted perfectly, the geometry captured with LEGO bricks.

    A fitting before assembly and everything fits.

    The operators' cabin prepared to be enclosed in the fuselage but the door will be open so something will be visible.
  9. Kriss
    The interior of the cockpit is ready. The cabin will be enclosed.
  10. Kriss
    Yes there are resin doors in the kit and you just need to cut holes in the fuselage for them. And it will all be nicely visible. We'll see when the model is finished and from that it will be visible. I'm struggling on because there are more waiting in the queue.
  11. Kriss
    Only one more door remains to be cut out and the hull can be painted and closed.

    It's not my interest but I received a Gannet as a gift and I need to make one, so I'm building it straight out of the box. But yes I'm steaming and I will say it looks beautiful, such a beauty it will be.

    Cabin interior pre-assembled and prepared for painting.

    Another model on the workshop this time it is a Fairey Gannet AEW.3 in 1:72 scale from the company ‘Sword’. In the box, in addition to the frames, we have resin parts, a sheet of film and a mask, that is the model with extras. The decal sheet includes markings for two machines, the model to be built will be in box camouflage with HMS ‘Ark Royal’.

    Thanks, you know every model is easy just with some the trowel takes longer. I for one have WWI models planned for later this year, I've already ordered myself a Caproni Ca.3 from Lukgraph in 1:48 and am waiting for its release.

    I sometimes get like this when I'm off duty and sit down at a model and sometimes it's finished. Thanks for liking it.

    I would like to present another completed model, and that is the F5-E Freedom Tiger in 1:48 scale from Eduard, along with the extras I added to it. The build went literally at an express pace, the model itself and the extras fit perfectly, a very enjoyable build. And this is how the model of the aircraft F5-E ‘Freedom Tiger’ 73-00878, 63rd Tactical Wing, RVNAF, Bien Hoa, South Vietnam, 1974 looks like.

    The last workshop photo shows the already completed 1:48 scale F5-E Freedom Tiger model from Eduard, together with the extras I added to it. The build went literally at an express pace, the model itself and the extras fit perfectly, a very enjoyable build. And this is how the model of the aircraft F5-E ‘Freedom Tiger’ 73-00878, 63rd Tactical Wing, RVNAF, Bien Hoa, South Vietnam, 1974 looks like. And for the rest of the photos, please visit the gallery.

    Camouflage completed, now the rest of the model remains.
  20. Kriss
    Another colour of camouflage applied.

    A weekend at home and preparing for Christmas with the tidying up and the F5 model in the background, yes alternating with almost a night at the model. I wanted to keep taking photos of the progress of the build and when I realised I hadn't taken photos the model was almost assembled and already the start of the camouflage. And the fact that it folded without any problems and the extras fit so super too, the build went at a truly express pace. Nothing but cutting, cutting and sanding. I will make up for this with the next F5, yes the same version and the same additions but a different user. Revealing to you this one is in a museum near me, 130 kilometres from my home.
  22. Kriss
    Cabin pre-prepared to be put together.
  23. Kriss
    Work got underway and there was a bit of cutting, a bit of sanding and also a bit of gluing and something is already visible and can be painted.
  24. Kriss
    My workshop doesn't like emptiness so an F5-E Freedom Tiger in 1:48 scale from Eduard has landed on it. It is not an Eduard release but a repackaged model. I have found some interesting extras for it which I will use in the model. The painting will be in Vietnam camouflage. So much introduction so I'm getting to work.
  25. Kriss
    Thanks for liking it and it's already been at the show and you're right not only did it stand out but it surprised everyone with its design.
