Wow. Interesting! Thanks for posting.

Ditto. I like my D7200 and small cache of lenses.

F-15DJ Kai or Eagle Plus- Finished!
CANicoll replied to BlrwestSiR's topic in The Great Twins Broup Bluild
Carl, that is a beauty!! Looks amazing and the sharksmouth is perfect for this aircraft. The cockpit is fantastic. I've done the same thing - put something away for safe keeping, then forget where I put it. At least you found it in time! -
I also don't buy with the idea of investment. But I did buy a few of the WNW kits early on as at one point I really did think I was going to build them. But then it got to the point where I really didn't have THAT much interest in such detailed kits, and the premium I was able to get - even selling below market to other members - made the decision to sell pretty easy. I still have the Eduard Royal Class FW-109A-8/R2 which is up to $175 on EBay. But this one I want to build one day...

This is such sad new.

Agreed!!!!

Beautiful blue on the bird, John! Super clean. -
Brad, Nice work on that missile and your efforts with the Mr Surfacer shines - beautiful paint job!

Sikorsky JRS-1 with AM (Eduard) 1/72
CANicoll replied to Landlubber Mike's topic in The Great Twins Broup Bluild
Beautiful work on that landing gear, Mike. WAY beyond my capabilities! Nice job on the wing as well. I definitely like white-basing top get variability. You do the most interesting builds!! -
Looking for some decals I happened to come across the updated Belcher Bits PBY-6A Conversion for the 1/48 Revell or Promodeller kit. I used the original conversion which was a solid resin tail for my previous build so really don't need to do another Catalina. THIS is the updated kit with the two-piece (hollow) tail. If interested PM me. Could be interested in a trade...

Camo has been sprayed so taking the opportunity to do some decaling. Might rethink the blue and do a Dark Brown spray over the light blue... ....hmmm Here is what comes off of the kit decals. Painted the bombs white and then stole the Sidewinder decals from the 1/32 Tamiya F-4EJ kit just to get some markings on the bombs. Completely inaccurate, but oh well! Still need to paint the noses black. Here is the camo pattern. Some decaling... And what is a bomber without nose art? From the 1/48 B-26 Pyn-up set by Meteor Productions (Bought new in 2004!!!!!). Still some filler needed on the side windows. Might not be as hard as I thought to cover the light blue with Dark Brown... Will look at that this weekend.

Thanks Carl! OMG yes, I'm going through paint like babies go through diapers. But I must say the MRP really does have good coverage. It is just this subject is so bloody large. I'm cheating a bit in using Vallejo Black Primer for the black parts and that is saving a ton. Ditto using the Vallejo White Primer. It is a BIG bird when its done, and even with the front cockpit hatch open, there is not a lot to see. So unless you want to work in NMF on a very large aircraft (and I'm also looking at the 1/48 B-29 sitting in my closet..) There is not a lot of interesting stuff you can do with it. IMHO... I'm with you, Dennis. It doesn't look like ANYTHING else... I hope I can do it justice. Whoa, I see on Ebay where the 1/48 Caracal decals are going for $100. Not sure I would trust decals that old. Wait till you see what is coming off the kit decals!! RE: Project Bullseye - I wish I had seen that Camo pattern as I like it better than the one I'm doing right now. But Not enough to redo everything or get another kit!!!

Completely agree. It would stand out like a sore thumb in the desert. But looks cool anyway. 👍

1/32 Hawker Tempest
CANicoll replied to JeroenPeters's topic in LSM 1/35 and Larger Work In Progress
I'm most impressed with how realistic that hand is in the photographs! Must be 3D printed or a super accurate resin cast it is so life-like.... -
Good choices, both, Peter. Interesting...
-
Cool!! I like Red 2. That paint job would be a nice challenge.
-
Kev - which decals did you order?

1/32 Hawker Tempest
CANicoll replied to JeroenPeters's topic in LSM 1/35 and Larger Work In Progress
Excellent work!!!!! -
Excellent! That means I'm -3 on kits from the stash this year so far. Win-win!! If I can keep this up by the time Nats rolls around next year, I'll actually have room to replenish a bit.

What is on your bench right now ? Share a picture :)
CANicoll replied to Martinnfb's topic in Modelling Discussion
Nice work!!! A little bit of sheet styrene and you are set. Did you figure out what caused the gap? -

CANicoll replied to Martinnfb's topic in Modelling Discussion
WTH??? Just flip it over, it will be 'fine'.... or else, maybe say that your F-14 is channeling the old F-8 Crusader? -
John, I like that one, too. As much as I do like the splotchy camo (and bought the Grex airbrush JUST for that!), #7 is definitely different. But the Eduard kit is 1/48 scale so I don't think it qualifies for the GB.
