That floaty Devastator is lovely indeed!

hey guys,

glad you like it :)

not much progress on the wildcatfish or the waterrocket (almost none in fact ;) ) but some major progress on the piper. Camo is done, even if some pouts need to be perfected but no changes in design to be expected.





   



hope you like it :)

till later

I really like the color & marking scheme on that Devastator!

A model more pleasing to the eye it'd be hard to find!

Well done!

Hi all,

No progress on the Piper this time but some progress on the Wildcatfish  :drink:

First the engine… probably the worst fitting thing I ever assembled, no alignment stuff whatsoever and not enough space between the cylinder crowns and the other parts so they would glue correctly… Definitely not recommended!



Secondly the interior… way more fun to paint an tho assemble :) :) color photo etch for the instruments and the seat belts.









and finally on his floats just for fun. Lots of sanding - puttying on the fuselage left before that can happen.





I really like the looks on this one  :ph34r: :ph34r:

till later all

cheers!

The Wildcatfish would make a nice pair with the float-Zero of the other side. Thanks!

Man, am I slow…  :banghead: :banghead:

Hi all,

this is my usual spring come back special. I know, I know every time I say I'm back for good, I keep up the rhythm for a few weeks and poof, like the great Houdini I vanish… But trust me, this time it will be different ;)

Apartment advanced a little, career did as well, private life… uh let's forget about the later, and models, well… a lot of the started stuff is still started, and some new models came along  :rolleyes: :rolleyes: so I guess I'll keep you posted about those because they are the hot ones on the bench right now.

First, De Havilland Hornet, from Trumpetter (how come I feel the need to write the name in full instead of the first five letters… Can it be I heard those letters somewhere else ;) ). Kit is fun to build, and their stops it qualities. Canopy is odd shaped, seat is actually a couch, and the wheels has as much in common with the real thing as do I with ET. Anyway, fun build I said, just added some Baracuda goodies for a spitfire in the cockpit. Panel is from the kit, with decal punched and died (fun because is comes with a little hammer)


















Nationality options: USA, Taiwan, Uganda, Algeria, Uruguay

Second new project, nearing completion, an Egg plane  :drink: P-38 with RetroKit resin cockpit. Fits easily, decal from kit can be used for the dials. Wings have been described. This will be a tribute to the NFL, more on that later





Third one, is one for my office. Sales are really pushing for 10% growth, luckily we operate the stretchy version of the 747





Next one, a new holland gnat, in flight. Airfix kit, PJ production pilots (I support local business), represented in flight, Spanish air force. I present to you, José and Andres.











And finaly, an Airfix Vampire T11, Pavla cockpit set, will be Polish. Same stage as the Gnat, in need of post sanding rescribing.













That's it for now

Later all

So much whiffery goodness!  :icon_meditation:

Airfix Vampire T.11, huh? Didn't know they made one in 1/48.  :P Hard to believe it's actually a 1/72 job!  :-*
Cheers,
Moritz
