I use to play in this scale with some of that details in the day but my patience and eyesight won't go there anymore.Nice work Andy!

I was just trying to replicate what to my eye was happening on some of the real ones in the pics but you are right it breaks it up quite nicely.

I made up some Dk It.Olive from regular It.Olive pretty close to the chips.I started by spraying the the plane with black botches then lined them loosely and erratically.The next step was to fill in the grey areas with the green then to covering the black and an overall spray to my liking.The pics I have seen of the crates was of a spotty appearance for a quick build is dragging out some.

It's been slow working in the other side of the shop on a piece for Sis.The Re.2005 has been primer fit overall was pretty good for a limited -run kit I think my projection of the exhaust is a bit extreme should of looked at more pics of the real thing instead went with the positive stops of the mold.I tried to loosen with acetone and about brought the whole build to a halt I managed to save the build after several cracks to the nose were repaired.The MG's in the nose are from the spares box while they gave resin for the wings which will be discarded for metal tubing.I still need to see if I have a suitable color for the top in the stash.

She is coming along Nicely Mike man I wish I could do 1/700 just so small.

I have glued the wings up a bit of sanding on the top of the wheel wells on the one I had to repair that .010" made a difference but was accomplished.The fit between the wing and the fuselage is exceptional for now......their is no dihedral looks like maybe 10'tops got to fix that.I f#$% up the exhaust and I knew I should not of glued them really snug/tight fit they stick out to far.The instructions do not show how much and I moved them to the point of a positive stop on the mold.I also made some bolts for the oleo's that were lost in removing them from casting block and will add hydraulics to the LG.I am still thinking when all said and done she will look good.

I got the 202 also Craig.The one gun fairing is in one to go thinking of inserting some metal barrels if the originals protruded enough.

OK a couple more pics are started cleaning up the fuse wingroots look good have clearance from the copit tub and lower wing I cleaned enough off the wing.The second pic is the scary part dremel off the molded and insert the resin resin looks much better and realistic but I am going there maybe a little metal mg's?

The fuse is getting closed up tonight not much of an update have that feeling ready to move on.I had to cut the back half of the tanks to build this way just to much gap between the copit walls and the fuselage.I broke the rudder pedals off have to reattach not that anybody will ever see them a tight copit.FYI the tailwheel housing sat right on a pour plug has to be removed I think I have 35/45 sanding to get a good fit and paper thin in some areas .

I have built the G-55 it was pretty straight forward and easy this one also.I have an update coming but life has been getting in the way lately.The only thing about PCM is they were short run kits and the panel engraving is not like what we have today but they do look the part.

Javlin replied to CDW's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
I like the looks thus far Craig. -
I always felt EG the delineation between straight/fuzzy comes down alot to the scale of the subject and 1/72 was always straight in my book.The crate is looking Nice Andrew!

That came out Quite Nice Alan!!

I appreciate the interest and all this is only my second PCM to build the G/55 was the last one I did.I just about have the sidewalls completed paint-wise some by the instructions for color switches and stuff will let's say fantasy some what?I started doing a little test fitting the firewall behind the pilot seat has a decent incline molded into it looked to much it was.I taped the fuselage together put the firewall in with it aligning with the headrest(trim).I then after some determination changed that angle and tack the floor in place.I also wanted to check clearance between the floor and upper part of the radiator built into the lower wing looks good thus far.It looks like the copit can be assembled as per instruction as a module and slide in place...fingers crossed.Hey guys on the floor board right side does that look like a fuel line?

On Hold - Nakajima Type KO 3 by CDW - Answer - 1:33 Scale - CARD
Javlin replied to CDW's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
I expect to see this build completed by tomorrow Craig it took this guy all of 6:29m/s to get his in the air.By the way I think this is Chris's way of building he thinks about it. -
Cool Alan like it whether 46 Luft or not neat ideas abound!

While I am waiting for more accessories from HobbyLink Japan for the Scharnhorst thought I start on a quick easy build figuring 3/4 weeks maybe?I first had to repair a screw-up from some years ago weras I fell asleep at the bandsaw cutting off the resin pour I spent about 45 minutes this evening fixing the wheel well with .010 flat card and some .010 round stock it went well enough.The parts have been cleaned with alcohol and primer is drying as I type.The decals allow me a couple planes from that squadron and one other the boxart being the best.The PCM kits are limited run kits with no mounting holes anywhere but they are of interesting subjects I have the Mc-202 in the stash also .........smoke rings..........
