Wow, that is busy! And you have some more to add. Oy! -
Busy compartment.Amazing how they shoehorn all the components in there. All you're missing is the oil sheen.
-
Your loadout is very plausible, Andy. Modern day training ordnance has a shackle in the widest point of the practice bomb, just like yours seem to do. 👍
-
Definite kudos to Tamiya for that kind of support. Paint is an outstanding cover.

We've got 3-4 Great Horned owls up here in the woods. The Admiral has a phone app to sort the assorted noises. There are a number of different species around here. Crows, Canada Geese and cardinals predominate.predominate

Sweet finish. Turning out great.
-
You're doing the Blairstown proud with this build. And lucky that you did find that errant sheave.
-
Those brake linkages look correct; nicely detailed. Glad you're adding the other carriages.
-
Rob, nicely done finish. The paint looks like it lays down nice and smooth. The color looks great.
-
Yellow always seems to be the most troublesome color to apply, followed by red. Your efforts will pay off soon, Andy.

I've seen several modeling organizations us the various categories working your way up to a Master Modeler. Like Grant says, you're a master here. Unfortunately, many of our glues don't handle big temperature swings. Using CA to attach Photo etch is probably the worst, popping off at a bad time. Best cure for that is canopy glue and similar glues. They stay flexible enough to prevent separations.

Denis, welcome back. Like EG says, we missed you. And with another cool build. Too bad about Gibbs; tough to lose a well loved pet.

Jav, interesting method for building up the fuselage. And yes these were very chipped a/c. This will be a cool build. 👍

I'll second Chris's recommendation. I've been fascinated with the Battle of Britain, ever since I was a young 2nd Lieutenant. There's also a video of this book.I watched in on our Public Broadcasting Network. Seems they played many British programs

That was pretty common, here in the US. Photos of the first in a series of rolling stock and steam locos were actually whitewashed to show off the underframes and running gear, since these were black and white photos. The practice disappeared with the advent of the post war colorful diesels and color film.

Nice recovery, Roel. And yes, the black line is almost invisible.

It pays to shop around. And you're lucky to have a "brick and mortar" local hobby shop. Many have closed or are generic craft stores. My last local shop now only does internet sales.

Jaguar XJR-9 LeMans by CDW - Model Factory Hiro - 1:43 Scale
Canute replied to CDW's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Most of the castings look fairly crisp, with no marks/flash from the molds. These are pewter cast? -
Make sure you have a file card. The softish metal can clog the teeth of these tiny files pretty quickly.

Good luck in Boston, digging into the various museums, etc. Very historic city.
-
Rob, good luck with those rivets. I salute your endeavors. 🙏
-
Riveting parts? WOW, I haven't had to do that since I built an old Bowser/English locomotive kit. They did include a riveting tool in the kit for peening over the rivets. You two are heroes, in my book.
-
Interesting mods, Andy. Looking forward to this build.
-
Nice touch by Hiro-san. She'll be a beauty.
