Peterpools Posted May 20, 2022 Posted May 20, 2022 Mark Got ya! Just go slow and work on the Viggen when time and mood allows. It's a tough build and the cammo scheme is off the chart - just looking so good. Keep 'em comin Peter 1

The camo is a challenge but the best one to put on this plane. Mark 1

BlrwestSiR Posted May 23, 2022 Posted May 23, 2022 Mark, can't wait to see it. Should be interesting to compare to their 1/32 kit and if they made any corrections when they down scaled it. Carl 3
BlrwestSiR Posted May 23, 2022 Posted May 23, 2022 The landing gear is the Valkyrie now. Right side up. Some small final details to add and then she's done. 6
Peterpools Posted May 24, 2022 Posted May 24, 2022 Carl Looking mighty good. I'm hoping once done, it's back to the B-24. Keep 'em comin Peter 2 1

That's the plan, get this done and then back to the B-24. At least before I lose the canopy again. Speaking of getting done, I added the last few parts to the Valkyrie, mostly small details and the gun pod. I have a few decals left and then she's done. Carl 7
Peterpools Posted May 25, 2022 Posted May 25, 2022 Carl Looking mighty good and a perfect plan. In between builds or even in between stages, I’m now putting small parts and assemblies in plastic containers with lids and labeling the container, so I don’t keep losing parts. At 74, it’s easy to lose anything Keep ‘em comin Peter 3 1

Carl Frankly, even the British and French worst designs of the 30’s were beauty pageant winners compared to this … contraption 🤮 Which does not detract from your work, Carl Hubert 5 1

The standard version of the Valkyrie is more like an F-14: Personally the Strike version is my favourite but it's certainly not a sleek looking plane. Here she is all done. 7 1
Peterpools Posted May 26, 2022 Posted May 26, 2022 Carl Looking mighty good and one nice build. Agreed your version surely looks as if it can clobber anything. Keep 'em comin Peter 4 1
GusMac Posted May 27, 2022 Posted May 27, 2022 Making some progress on the Comet and diorama. Got all the storage from Panzerart painted and attached. Quite happy with how it looks given my lack of experience of brush painting stuff like this. Just trying out positions for the infantry and commander. The riders are from the ICM set and the headless commander is the Alpine Miniatures kit. Now we discover how bad my figure painting skills are. Last figure I painted was a white metal 1/12 figure of a RN gunner back after the Falklands war in '82, so 40 years ago! Also got an old picture frame and some air-dry clay, so I'm planning to make a start on the base soon. 10

Peterpools Posted May 28, 2022 Posted May 28, 2022 Gus The Comet looks mighty good and my money is riding on you that the figures will be so well done. Keep 'em comin Peter 6

BlrwestSiR Posted May 28, 2022 Posted May 28, 2022 Gus, as everyone else has mentioned your Comet looks great. The gear on the back is nicely done too. Carl 5
Martinnfb Posted May 28, 2022 Author Posted May 28, 2022 Absolutely, that Comet deserves a separate build thread . Please 5
GusMac Posted May 28, 2022 Posted May 28, 2022 Thanks fellas. I'll try and do a thread for the rest Martin. It just started off as something to fiddle with while I procrastinated about starting the NMF P-47 but it's grown arms and legs as I've got into it and I'm really enjoying pushing my envelope. 6
