AJohnson Posted July 14, 2023 Share #1 Posted July 14, 2023 (edited) MSW is like an addiction, this kit has been sat in the stash getting on for a couple of years now and I was thinking I would be strong and finish up a few projects before diving in. But no. @realworkingsailor has done a wonderful build log of a "Tiffy" and @Egilman @Javlin @CDW @Landlubber Mike and other guilty parties (you know who you are!) have being chipping in with loads of useful insights and info and now I have worm in my head saying "do it!" 🤪 Thanks guys!!! 😆 I have built the "bubble top" version before, so know what to expect with this kit, but this time I have bought a few "extras" to pimp it up a bit. This will be a slow burner as I have got plenty still to do after the leak in the house and the place is a bit of a mess, but at least we have ceilings again as of this week. 😁 Just putting down a place marker to say, yeah I can't resist.... (now where is that straight jacket...)

DocRob Posted July 14, 2023 Share #2 Posted July 14, 2023 Nice, can't wait to see some progress Andrew. I pulled my bubble canopy one out of the stash several times, but now I will follow your build first. Moons ago, I bought a loot of goodies for my build, among them the Brassin guns. Problem was, there were only three in the blister and I had to contact Eduard and they sent the missing one. It's not the firs time this happened to me with Eduard, but luckily they solve the problems relatively fast. At least, I learnt to check what's in the box with them.

Cheers Rob Glad to have you along Rob! I really admire your builds and so any hints & tips you can provide along the way, will be greatly received. Especially the great way you pre-paint and weather - when I get to that stage. I am hoping to do it as R7752 - "PR-G" but perhaps earlier in her career than she is normally modelled. Certainly not the all shiny-new scheme applied for the ubiquitous "photo-op" pictures of Beaumont and freshly painted Train "kill" markings/yellow cannons and leading edges. I have got some marking paint masks; mostly as large decals don't seem to look right at 1/24 scale. We shall see, we have time before I need to decide exactly what era I will portray R7752. My Brassin cannons are all there thankfully.

Thank you Andrew, I'm blushing. I never built a British plane to my knowledge, so I'm hardly an expert, when it comes to painting. For the Tiffy and Mossie, I chose AK's Real colors, as they generally match well and spray superb, thinned with leveling thinner. They are also very durable and good to mask and weather on top.

Thank you all, I’m all puffed up now with my supporting wingmen, should be fun. I have been doing research on R7752 and already 99% sure she was a pure “Strafer” and never carried bombs and definitely never Rockets, despite what some old box top art of older kits might suggest. The nearby museum of RAF Elvington I am lucky enough to visit often has the 609 Squadron Museum based there. Many great pieces of artwork and contemporary photos to look at, but P7752’s looks before her “Beaumont” photo op makeover are, as usual, up for debate.

CDW Posted July 15, 2023 Share #25 Posted July 15, 2023 Have any of you ever run across the website "Scribd dot com"? There are a ton of reference materials there for digital download all for a monthly subscription fee. First month is free and there is no obligation to actually continue to subscribe and pay a monthly fee. I guess it's all on the up and up but I'm no attorney so not sure how this all works its way through the legal system. I ran across the site searching for the "how to build the 1:24 Airfix Typhoon" book.
