Nice view out of the window and no carpet monster , a great start !

Looking good Rob, will the hairspray keep a few days ? I've always hairsprayed painted and chipped within a few hours, don;t trust it to reactivate after fully curing TBH. "Tresemme Firm Hold 3" my weapon of choice, Personally don't mind the smell either. EDIT one of these MKs might look good in Oak Leaf or Plane Tree cammo ....hmmm

Sorry no build log for this one , was just playing around with paints . Thanks you , I was pleased with the outcome.

Wow Jeroen , thats damn fine even by your high standards !

I was unaware, sending my best wishes to you and all of your family that you all pull through this one . Guy

Thank you , it is a nice little build , great for adding some interest to similar scale aircraft . I think the only real mod for me was swapping out the windows for some thinner sheet. This one went as an a Xmas gift to one of my regulars , TBH I'd forgotten about it. .

Those are not the wings you are looking for...

Give a whole new meaning to a Jurassic GB ...& that Bearcat driver will be having a bad day.

+1 on the timber ,subtle and very real

@Martinnfb You're a dark horse, quiet for months and then sneak that one on the bench , nice build ...and ...a diorama ? Tell more . @BlrwestSiR I'm on Luftwaffe Flight AC859 tomorrow ...will be landing 2045 please send directions .

More NMF , pre war ! a lot less weathered

Needs some weathering ....and probably some inflation .

I did the same as you and bought a resin cockpit for it 6 months ago to try to re enthuse me ....it's still a hound though . One day maybe

Turned out nice for a terrible old tooling of the Wurger, all that work really turned it round . Good mottling too ! I feel embarrassed at my shelving of the elderly Revell Typhoon now.

You fellow Oilbertan , Peg of Zip Ties and Bias Plies has a lot to say about 'Dodge guys' ....none of it good . 🤣

Wow Fecking Wow ! Nice one Gus , love it fella ! Unusual subject well executed ! Salute !

@Lusitanian Sofilein did a walkaround of the PIMA Gannet this summer in her usual style .

Did Fursnake try to join in ?

Cheers folks I appreciate the kind comments . I had a burst of NMF back in 2020/1 , mainly Alclads then adding some Tamiya metallic @Landlubber Mike Earlier this year I had another burst, the Lightning in the GB was Alclads and Mr Colour Super Metallic2, which was working well . Wanted to see if there was a decent alternative to Alclad . Then it all went cattywhompus with the big Starfighter where overlayering the SM colours made them all get a bit puttyish, and there wasn't enough contrast ..and it all looked shehite before I dropped it.... broke the wing and then binned it ...coz I am 12 years old ...link So this one- back to basics ....Alclad gloss black, left for 24 hours otherwise really harden ...and it really did . Then blow over some panels in various shades of Alclad ;- Ally , Dull Ally , Polished, White , Duralminium. This was mask a line , spray in a direction , move the tape , mask a new panel, paint away from previous panel etc etc . Then used Super Mettalic2s 201, 203 , 204 205, and 206 (all silver colours) and used them to do more 'mask and panel' , and stuff like the spinner and the drop tank Chrome Silver 206 - all thinned about 60% Mr Colour thinner . Varying the thinner ratio and the spray distance can modulate the flow out and the gloss. Mottled some of the panels using different colours and PE stencil - on a previous build I was achieving this though painting alclad lightly over acrylic and then using tape to randomly remove it . Kind of chipping technique ? No varnishes 🤮 Masked and did the stripes / decals . .....Saw a video on how to do checkerboard so thought I'd give it a go 😀 Then glue the wings and tailplanes to the fuselage. Then OPR , pencil chipping . Wheels 'n Bitz etc. Tamiya has made a nice kit , even though it's 2002 . Going to keep playing with the Super Mettalic2s, I feel they have potential, although they cover better than Alclad so you can't "preshade" panels and then blow over like you can with Alclad. They are more resilient however. Cheers PW

Quick build ...still can't decide Alclad or Super Metallic for NMF. This has both and they pay nicely with each other both being lacquer. Tamiya acrylic metallics are about 3/4 mile behind , huge particle size in comparison . Will keep playing have a bit of an NMF thing in my head for now . Will end up in foiling if not careful ...🤕 Laterz PW

Thats made a heap of difference , you've more patience than I !

Yes I hadn't been on their site for a while so missed the advert , it's been running for a while. Was half tempted to come up with something outlandish like a Zwilling but only 2 weeks left and I've got other stuff on, Plus I'd have to build another flipping Arsefix kit . 🤣 Not my fave manufacturer .
