Administrators JeroenPeters Posted August 21, 2019 Administrators Posted August 21, 2019 I’m sure we’ve all seen the old Battle of Britain movie stars covered in dust. These were part of the private collection of Connie Edwards. I intend to use the Revell 109G-6 kit with the Attitude Aviation conversion to replicate a part of this scene. After 45 minutes in the cave I came this far: Kit and conversion courtesy of conversion designer and 3d artist Ronnie Olsthoorn and Attitude Aviation. stay tuned. 10
One-Oh-Four Posted August 21, 2019 Posted August 21, 2019 Looking forward to your handiwork! You already out-sawed our resident Beauty-Cees! 5 1

airscale Posted August 21, 2019 Posted August 21, 2019 inspired idea I love this lens you bring to modelling Jeroen - makes me think I need to think wider than just building an aeroplane.. can't wait to see this one Peter 6 1

You folks see the world of modeling differently than I. All I’ve ever thought is to create a complete miniature totally believable aircraft model as seen through the eyes of a pilot walking up to go flying. You guys take it way past my vision. I’m often left speechless in awe. 7 1
GazzaS Posted August 23, 2019 Posted August 23, 2019 Looking forward to seeing your vision come to fruition. Couldn't make myself build a damaged 109, tho. Love em too much. 4

[CAT]CplSlade Posted August 24, 2019 Posted August 24, 2019 Hmmm...I don't know about that. According to all my old advertisements from the late 50s/early 60s soda cans were initially made from tin. Bethlehem Steel especially loved blabbing about it in Life all the time. I think a lot of that old aluminum got recycled prior to that era. 4
antonio argudo Posted August 24, 2019 Posted August 24, 2019 I've always hated "buchon" painted in german scheme... maybe you'll change my mind! but man , your idea is very cool and undoubtedly you will nail it! here is an interesting video painting "buchones" for the movie , hope it is useful to you, cheers 6 1

One has to wonder where it all went. Not that it matters. Just like all of the water in the world has been re-used over the millennia. Your morning coffee probably had Pancho Villa's urine in it. 5

As long as it’s not Santa Ana or my ex Wife’s urine, I’m good with it. L M A O! 4

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted August 25, 2019 Author Administrators Posted August 25, 2019 Thnx guys. at the moment i’m cutting away a lot of plastic and resin to make the set fit the revell kit AND to show the wingroots in the proper way. The wingroots actually need to come off and the fuse should be flush. Slowly but surely the nose is starting to fit. As you can see i’ll need to scratch the gear hinges. 6

Wingco57 Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 Nice butchery Jeroen, the majority of those Buchons are flying again in the UK. Cees 7

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted September 7, 2019 Author Administrators Posted September 7, 2019 Thnx guys! bought some more stuff for this build. the Radu Brinzan canopy. Since thick plastic for the open canopy is a no no. seatbelts and the eduard legs. 5
Administrators James H Posted September 7, 2019 Administrators Posted September 7, 2019 Nice touch with the canopy. I never considered that for mine. I failed. 4
