Fokker Dr.I triplane by cog - multiple - 1:72

That looks Stunning mate - the camo is really spot on. OC. -
Some more good work today, first thing was to fit the Two lens units under the wings - these just popped in with a bit of ca run around the edge, next was to fit the Two radiator flow control vents under the wings, these were then painted same as the underside. Then the biggy - adjust and fit the other main u/c unit, again this needed some sanding then a good measure of ca to get a good bond, the tricky part was locating the adjustment leg struts (I had to keep pushing them in place as they had some flex). Also here is a pic showing the first stage of the re - paint. So this is the current situation. OC.

1/48 Seafire Mk. III (Late)
Old Collingwood replied to Old Collingwood's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Here's the plan - My farther used to tell me things about his service one of those was about a Special version they were testing of a Seafire, basically it was a modiefied mk.III - the FAA where he was based had a small outfit there called the SSCU Special Seafire Conversin Unit, the idea was to see how far they could push a mk.III by improving the already established airframe and engine. They thought if they could make it breath better by putting the Two Rads under the wings same as the Spit IX this should increase the airflow, also they put on the pointed tail/rudder to give it more control, there was a few other mods done also. It was a sucess but a Griffen engine upgrade was coming online soon and this did a way with a few proto's that my dad worked on. OC. -

1/48 Seafire Mk. III (Late)
Old Collingwood replied to Old Collingwood's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Thank you for looking into that for me EG, I was thinking - I have hand painted the bottom wings on my Mossie and hasn't turned out too bad, so I should be able to hand paint the Bottom of the Seafire to the same standard - cheaper as well just a few quid (UK pounds). I have the Dark Grey rattke can I need I brought that months ago as I wasn't sure about the color on my mossie. So I will order a tin of XF21 off flea bay. OC. -

"Where gonna need a Bigger Website" OC. -
I still record stuff but not by bass that went a long time ago, my main musical interest is Digital recording Synths VST, I have a bout 4 on my laptop, I record amd mix sections in a laptop device called Wavepad its quite good you can save as Mp3 or WAV files, I have some of my stuff that I have done on my own and some with a few musician friends stored in Bandcamp. I have to be in the mood though as a lot of the time im to dry to get my head round making music and other times it just flows. One of my VST's - OC.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
