  1. I have the Revell 1/144 Snowberry kit with Pontos set (bought from a member here a few years ago) and the Revell 1/72 kit with the David Parsons upgrades. Would love to start building them, but want to get my skills up a bit to do them justice. Those Mirage kits look quite nice, especially at that scale.
  2. Hi Nils, great start on your Elbe! These light ships are really interesting. I visited the Overfalls a few years ago (it's in Delaware) and always thought these ships would be cool subjects to model - something different than the 5000 English war ships that are out there. Looking forward to following along!
  3. Very cool - interesting way to apply it. I think on my Buffalo diorama I just took a pinch in my fingers and sprinkled it on like I was sprinkling on seasonings on a piece of meat. This looks like it gives more control.
  4. Looking great Chris! Love the shelf too! Just out of curiosity, are these kits usually built OOB (out of envelope)? Seems like things like the pre-cut frames would almost be a necessity. I'm sure the pre-made resin wheels are also a much welcome piece of aftermarket.
  5. Made some good progress on the JRS-1 the last few days. First, installed all the interior components - bulkheads, cockpit, seats, windows, window frames, curtains, etc. Given that you can't see much of any of the details from the outside, I didn't bother trying to make everything look pristine. Then managed to get the fuselage buttoned up. Surprisingly, very little filler or plastic strips needed, though the canopy is going to require plenty. The top was a pain because you had to insert the rectangular piece in between the fuselage halves (you could cut this in half and model it as open), as well as the two forward top fuselage halves. Not exactly easy to do, but eventually got there. Thanks for looking in!
  6. Cool subject Denis, I'm in. Hope your home situation is resolving itself. Sounds like a real mess.
  7. Looking forward to seeing this one come along Chris. I finally managed to track down a catapult set for the Airfix 1/48 Sea Hurricane and have been doing some background research on these planes. Very cool subject!
  8. Looks like a cool subject! Looking forward to seeing this one come along.
  9. Interior is all painted and ready to be buttoned up: Half of the Eduard resin passenger seats had broken arm rests. I ended up cutting them all off, then replacing them with brass wire. Won't be able to see them, but for some reason I feel better knowing that they are there: Thanks for looking in!
