Javlin Posted August 31, 2023 Share #1 Posted August 31, 2023 (edited) I have been having the sense to build OOB of late like the Mig-3 of late just trying to build something that looks somewhat half way decent to the eye.I will dive into some of the 1/32's that deserve it and do full build logs but here it will be mainly 1/72 and 1/48 that just happen to hit the desk to fill the gaps in-between a full log.

Javlin Posted September 9, 2023 Author Share #3 Posted September 9, 2023 This Classic Airframes the Dehavilland Hornet has resin copit,resin wheels and the dreaded vacuum formed canopy.I say everything seemed good till I got to the canopy only used one but seems that maybe I was to go even further got to be over 20years since I messed with one of those.The reveal after the painting showed frosting both some outside and inside it was crystal clear before hand beautiful.I think I was to bevel the inside ledge ever so slightly to get a better fit. It is what it is at this point. Jack12477, hof00, Egilman and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Javlin Posted January 21 Author Share #6 Posted January 21 (edited) This the Eduard 1/48 W/E kit I wanted to do the break up the Sharnhorst build waiting for other supplies to that build.This was a fun little kit to build.The rigging what is there is done with stretched sprue and incense stick to tighten it up something I learned years ago on a ship model forum,the smoke does the work.The prop I painted wood first then the paint left in the reservoir got mixed with leather to my liking.Once the prop was half way dry(impatient) I coated it with a mix of yellow/red Tamiya clear acrylic(could of probably used more) to give that slight varnish looked.I started dirtying her up some kinda chicken out still looks decent for a fun/quick build.
