Hey hey
Here is the start of the month report regarding the pile of models that are currently built at the Flappydaffy Whifyard.
First, my YAK 3 (Eduard 1/48) that is in painting mode, scheme has been chosen, green camo over a Sail and metal frame. (Second picture)
My YF-23 who is assembled, but due to a difference in thickness of the wing and the fuselage a lot of putty still has to be sanded (boring TV shows, where are you??!!)
A RAH-66 Comanche, for the Canadians that is also in paint mode (smart move was to paint the white last :banghead: :banghead: :bang head:)
I also started (no, 45 models started is not enough!! :drink: :drink:) at my local hobby store to demonstrates various products and initiate people to airbrush painting. A nice little Piper Cub in 1/35 scale (Bronco). All interior is OOB except for the floor that has been replace by a wooden piece (easier to cut than for me to learn how to paint realistic wood effects). Nerve testing part of the build are the seat belts, only the buckles are provide, the fabric has to be cut from tape en inserted (4h for 6 straps…) but the result is good :cheers:
And finally the Devastator, panels have been washed and decals placed, matt varnish is also done and of course then it happened, I notice finger marks + super glue vapors in the canopy :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :bang head:
so the Devastator is now a convertible. canopy will come back once the flaps are in place. And afterwards the last bits will be glued (probe and antenna). And this will be my X-mas miracle as it will be the first kit finished this year :party: :party:
That's all folks!!!
C ya next time
