Hi bro, yep the fire extinguisher is in the kit with the figures, no batt starter though, I am going to display her as if she had been bombed up (as she has) already fueled up and the truck has moved off, some last minute minor repairs (hence my dad being in the scene) and some of the stuff being put away including stuff put away in the trailor, and the crew there getting ready to board and start thier pre flight checks. OC. -
Good evening all, the jeep and trailor are finaly finished and I thought I would show a teaser - of the start of the dio (or how it could look) OC.

You are doing a marvelous job my friend I know I said it before - but I would be well impressed with that, I remember from my Frigate build - it isnt always easy getting it the way you want, but you are getting there in a loverly way. OC.

Have a safe journey Craig. OC. -
Excellent work with that tun and seat, I think going mad with interior detail work a comparison I could make when I had my 2Ltr Ford Focus I use to keep cleaning and polishing the cylinder head cover and associated bits - even though 99.9% of the time they would not be seen - I think it satisfies our own sense that its been done. OC.

Looking very nice. OC.

Thank you Denis. OC.

Its part of the dio with the mossie that I am now constructing after being given some bits that will enable me to build a dio, quite excited about it. OC.

Evening all, more progress with the Jeep, after setting the chasis on one side it was time to build the body, this comes in many sections including the floor pan / sides / back / front and bonnet, these were glued without fuss, then time for lots of little fittings like handles etc, then I started the painting process starting in the inside - then I made the seats including cushions and painted these a dark buff and RAF grey colour. I continued adding parts then painted the outside of the body and underneath, I finished off by adding a wash underneath and do a bit of high lighting. There is still an engine that I could put inside from underneath - it wont be seen unless from underneath through the chasis. One of the pics shows it dry fitted to the chasis. OC.

Looking good Joe. OC. -
I find it helps to secure the top section first - make sure it propper secure then push the belt down with a bit of super glue under the belt say applied by a fine tooth pick or similar - then pushed in place with another pick, then same with the lap belts - secure the sides first. OC.
-
Looking mighty fine bro, those PE belts are fiddly little critters aren't they? but they do look the "Dogs ....." though. OC.
-
Thank you Edward, doesn't it just, some amazing people out there. OC.
-
These are the figures and doggy - they are posionable and can swap body parts (that sounds bad) OC.
-
I think it stands out quite nicely in that colour bro, dont foreget its gonna get a RAF roundel on the bonnet also. OC.
-
It will indeed Mark, have it in my head how I want to set it up - the idea (plan) is that the crew have been driven out to mossie in the jeep, they have got out hanging around near the plane - one of the pilots is on the entrance ladder the other is behind, the plane has been having some minor repairs (me dad still up one of the ladders near mossie) some other staff milling around, in the trailor there is a work bench and some other stuff packed ready to go back to the hanger, the dog is standing on the back seat of the jeep - all jolly. Well thats just an idea. OC.
-
I aim to please Lou, I have a cunning plan how to set it up - it should be quite busy with me dad loitering around somewere near the mossie, there is even a doggy. OC.

This is the eqv of what I am building - Pic off the net. OC.

Indeed my friend - this place is full of Truely decent people who I feel honoured to call my friends. OC.

Hi all, so I dived right in - my freebies consisted of - a Superb looking mat looks like its part grass - part slabs made from a kind of stiff rubber, then there is a kit of RAF WW2 airfield staff including a pilot and some equipment, last a jeep and trailer. I decided to start with the jeep - I am doing it as a RAF version with the open top with the trailor (this will contain some of the equipment from the figure kit) First I assembled the chasis then painted it RAF Blue/Grey then ran a few washes over it finished off with some high lighting, I havn't built a vehicle in a long long time and never in 1/48 last was in 1/35. OC.
