Administrators JeroenPeters Posted August 21, 2019 Administrators Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[CAT]CplSlade Posted August 24, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted August 25, 2019 Author Administrators Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
