The fact that it was faded doesn't mean it wasn't there.

Look at this Burma's K, it's faded but its there.

Was on the desk in the cabinet now the other has been sidelined for the moment the part I really wanted to do the painting is done.The Delta Dart F-106 is 1/72 provided by Trumpter a kit I would recommend great fit and Nice decals.The other kit is a SH 1/72 Martin Baltimore MK IV is what I selected your typical limited run injection kit no locating tabs Coastal Command looks cool.The last one I started last night because of Johnny Bravo's Frankenstein and realized HEY we have a sandbox build so she hit that part of the forum.;)

Still plodding on with this one, I masked and painted the national markings but had to use decals for the rest but they went on fine.

And just for fun with the cowl loosely in place.

Nice work!  The camo pattern is perfectly done.

The 'hawk is looking great and the cockpit is fantastic.  Have fun with the markings!  That faded blue roundel will be interesting to duplicate - and I had the same idea as Hubert - just cut the white star out of the usual marking - before Martin's excellent research find.

Looking forward to the finish here!

Thank you kindly, it's been a long time since I did some mottling but I was very pleased with how this one turned out.

Cheers

Revell re-boxing of the 1/32 Dragon bf110 C7. Wings glued together with LG assemblies done and glued in. Wings are presently dry fitted into fuselage. Using BloorwestSiR's build from another site as my guide.

It was an enjoyable build. Once you figure out the errors in the instructions.  

I've got another in the stash to get to one day.

I agree, it is an enjoyable build. I also have the Dragon E-2 trop in the stash, although I think I'll be using the Revell instructions for that as the kit instructions look a little sketchy.

An hour and 15 min later….

Okay, for some reason Scott's build stuck in my head. 

So after getting home from the local bar tonight I decided to see if I could knock out a build in a single sitting. 

So here's the victim. Note the time in the corner.

1000007936.thumb.jpg.d6fad26de9a146f16ad7b3155b58237e.jpg

Painted the interior bits.

Started on assembly.

1000007947.thumb.jpg.52139f3cdbac94647cd6e01c20b018cc.jpg

Assembled completed. 

1000007948.thumb.jpg.e51904665824ce38b6f5172dd8742a7f.jpg

Painted the exterior, a simple panel line wash and done!

No decals or stickers certainly helped make it work.

Nice! I would love to get a printer. Wonderful possibilities.

What are you printing?

its a crawler crane in scale 1/24

I have started with files for a 1/14 rc crane and rescaled it.
