Thats looking super - you have brought the detail out really well. OC. -
Got my seat ready - this will be good so great to have a fellow spit build on the forum (your F18 looks Superb) OC.
-
They do a kit of that not sure what scale though - memory escapes me. OC.
-
As denis said - very nice work - I love the shading in the fuselage. OC.
-
Small world Jack/Ken. OC.

Later today (yep I know where does the time go) I will check the join where the Stabs meet the fuselage and fill if needed, then I think it will be wing tip and Aileron fitting time, I will probably keep the Ailerons level as I dont think they are gravity enduced so wont droop on power down. OC.

One of mine was "A bridge too far" after watching the film as a teenager I went out and brought the Airfix Dio kit of the same thing - soldiers and Tanks and the bridge all in 1/72. OC.

Those will be cool. OC.
-
Thank you Ken. OC.

Evening all hope all are well and not going too nuts yet, I spent another hour or so on the Spit, I decided to make the stab frames / stabs and rudder, quite straight forward with minumum fuss, I decided to droop the stabs and give the ruidder a bit of angle. OC.

No thats where the Bow goes with the Arrows 😉 But thank you for the compliment. OC.
-
Yep - but deffo a brll kit. OC.
-
Plan for today (later) there is still a hairline gap where the wings meet the fuselage so I will work some plastic putty into it, then I will either attach the rudder stabs and Rudder or the wing tips (depends what I fancy doing first). I know I keep saying it - but I really recommend thses Eduard kits they are simply first rate in every way. OC.

Very nice work mate - very nice indeed, that red colour really makes her stand out. OC.

Yellow ocre is the colour we all know for the bulwarks and carriages, but if you find the shade a we bit too bright you could always dull it a bit by adding a bit of white, its completely how you want to display it my friend and how pleasing it wil be to your eyes. I am loving those canon/carriages though they will look super when finished. OC.

Thank you EG, credit to the kit as its Superb best I have ever built. OC.
-
Lovely job Edfward a real credit to you mate - it really has come out first class, I will miss the banter and viewing oyur work in The Special section (Here) hurry up mate and find another thing to build - we will be waiting. OC.

B-25 Mitchell "Meet Miss Runyon" by Javlin-HK-1/32
Old Collingwood replied to Javlin's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Now, this will be cracking also - good choice of kit. OC. -
A bit more progress - no work done in the day time as we were sat out enjoying that weird bright ornage thing in the sky, so I decided to work on the cockpit glazing, this is in three sections due to me having the cockpit open, first I cut away the front section and after tyding up the edge I fitted some masks that came in the kit, this was a three part mask - I then glued it in place and set it down using the dryer, next was the rear section - again tydy up and masked using two masks, this was then glued down/heated, last was the sliding section - this had the same prodecure, but it stays off till the last stages of the build. Thank you all for the interest people are showing in my build. OC.

Ours is under review next monday to see how many extra weeks we will get added ontop............I feel like a caged animal (to be fair it dont worry us to much as we have no family - friends etc - just keeping the flipping food and gas /electric meters topped up is our priority). Our hobbies help though - dont they Jack.👍 OC.
-
Its got to have its normal wing tips on it yet Ken, it comes like that giving you the option as they are in the box - three types of wing tips I think. OC.

When I do the Seafire conversion out of the other kit? OC.
