You have that well in hand Gaz, Great result with the pastels, a medium I have not previously used but now I am considering. Regards,

Bravo Peter, bravo! So nice and a great result on the engine. Regards,

Thanks buddy, As luck would have it, Aldi has a big arts and crafts sale this week. I saw a few pots of it down there. Regards,

Looking nice Gaz. I may have missed it but what medium are you using to represent the Zimmerit? A putty of some sort no doubt? Regards,

Many thanks for the clarification. Regards, Kent

Great work on the collector rings Jeroen. Can you please confirm the Extreme Metal colour you used? I can only find Burnt Metal and Pale Burnt Metal in their range here in Australia. I am assuming it is the latter colour, lightly applied? Regards, Kent

Nicely done Rick. Regards,

Great work Rick, The information on the gunsight was a revelation to me, it will be tucked away for future work on an Airfix P-40B in the stash. Regards,

Nicely done Rick, You’ve had a battle to get here but the result is coming together really nicely. Regards,

Good afternoon, I present my latest off the bench, Hasegawa’s version of the Mitsubishi A6M2-N Rufe. The “N” denotes the aircraft was actually manufactured by Nakajima (as were all the Rufes). I added the CMK cockpit and used Montex masks for the markings except for four decals not included in the masks. I wanted the aircraft to be weathered but not overly so. The paints were primarily Sovereign Colourcoats with some AKI varnishes and the relatively new AKI panel liners for brown/green and black finishes. The trolley was weathered a bit as they took a beating. Regards,

Great stuff Jeroen. How about “Wings? We don’t need no stinking wings!” Regards,

Really like the result you have obtained with the seat. In fact the whole lot says craftsman at work. Well done. Regards,

Very, very nice work matey. congratulations on an exemplary build. Regards,

Brilliant concept Jeroen, Executed with precision, care and love. Many thanks. Regards,

Yes, yes, yes! The shots remind me of very much an aircraft under clear shallow water. I suppose that was the intended outcome in the camouflage. Great work and thanks for sharing it. Regards,

I am also subscribed to this kit (to SWMBO's horror - but it is for my son...honest) and can only echo James' post. It seriously needs a good build plan to complete it and lots of room. The results OOB are good but with added tweaking it can be sublime. Regards,

Stunning result Danny. Congratulations on the first completion of 2017 and thanks for sharing! Regards,

Looks great Danny, Great painting and detail work. Thanks for sharing. Regards,

Jeroen, As always you inspire and amaze me with your talent and approach to a project. Many thanks. Regards,

Marek, That is a stunning build. Thank you for sharing. Regards,

Danny, Great work and an awesome tutorial! Many thanks for sharing it with us. Regards,

Hi Rog, Don't know if these guys are any help but I found them in one of the modelling mags: http://gtg-resin.com/ Made in Australia so helping the economy etc. etc. They appear to be a new company so there inventory isn't much but they may bear watching for future releases. Not cheap but not as expensive as Fruil.... Regards,

Thanks guys. Regards,
