  1. The paintwork is looking delightfully rustic , and the stars overpainting the stars and bars is a great touch . Starting to look very much like an aircraft maintained by monkeys glorious Soviet mechanics Binned a few airbrushes in the past ,reckon it's a game of reducing returns after a while . ............when you've cleaned them for the 500th time and they still frack up .......it's time for ..
  2. I felt I needed to finish up the Mossie , then Martin kept pestering me to start the Lighting ๐Ÿ˜†...and then i was ill for a bit and couldn't do anything . This needed a trip to a hardware store for some board to strengthen the sea scape & I couldn't drive . Wife is being nice with it sat on a dining table for now, but need to wrap up the Lightning and then finish this one off .
  3. Or maybe even a Flakvierling ....4 flak ..."Meine Flakerling" is what Adolf whispered in Hanna Reitsch's ear.......probably ๐Ÿ˜‚
  4. Sounds like some quality time was had ๐Ÿ˜€
  5. Thats superb Ralph , love the colour scheme is that a pre war one ?
  6. Can you imagine how insane it would be, to be inside a metal bell when the cannon fires.
  7. Is this going to have the crazy Swedish Splinter scheme ....talking of masochism ?
  8. Nice one , if you ever get to France , maybe look up La Coupole in Normandy , it was V2 underground Factory & Launch site , never went /live, but scary stuff. Link
  9. Excellent. , and Martin will put me up to save on the hotel ? Awesome offer will be on skyscanner today ๐Ÿ˜„ Iโ€™ll bring a few mates as well
  10. I built this few years back , the engine covers are a small challenge to ahve closed as it's designed to all hang open . The Arado is apparently similar . If you want them shut it's just a matter of shaving the cylinder heads. It's not a particularly hard job TBh , just trim them back below the line of the circular support . Rest went together fine . ....& I know Prillers wasn't an A8
  11. TBH I'm not convinced by black primer on models , in 1:1 car/bike painting I was taught to use white or at a push, grey primer for silver/ metallics . I've got some Alcad Gloss Black which I chose not to use this time around. It seems to more a modelling thang. I'm down to hand tinting individual access panels at the moment ...for the love of Pete .... ๐Ÿ™„
  12. More than likely . It's just a thought , if you don't try something new you never progress I feel ? Last time I built this , I was deeply unhappy with the lack of effect I achieved using the traditional "build it then paint it" method , so it's a shot to nothing in some ways . Small progress today .....20g of lead shot in the nose , jet pipes coming together. Used flory wash for the soot in the cans , though jack all of this is visible one in place hence not loosing sleep over those ejection pin marks
  13. If you can hack it ....I can recommend yoga is a great way to keep from seizing up . I did it a lot when i was driving 50k miles a year and used to cry on climbing out of the car. ....although you have to pick an age appropriate group to avoid being the only middle aged man in a group of 20 something yummy mummies. Unless thats your thing .....๐Ÿฅท
  14. Nice call , I'm going to have to watch the film now ๐Ÿ˜€ I've done dioramas before trying to match newsreel or stills ....it drove me nutty , so I tend to do "inspired by" rather than try to match blade of grass for blade of grass anymore๐Ÿ™„ I don't know what i was thinking some years .!
