You have been busy...

Maybe I don't love 'em all, but there are several wonderful ones, congratulations! :-*
-
The F-19 looks particularly tasty :-*

The F-19 looks particularly tasty :-*
Yes it does. :-*

That f19 is the business!

Those are all very well done, Scran!
I especially like the prop blurs on that Beau!

Just finished:
The Fairey Delta 2 or FD2 (internal designation Type V within Fairey) was a British supersonic research aircraft produced by the Fairey Aviation Company in response to a specification from the Ministry of Supply for a specialised aircraft for conducting investigations into flight and control at transonic and supersonic speeds. Key features of the type include the adoption of a delta wing and a droop-nose. On 6 October 1954, the Delta 2 conducted its maiden flight, flown by Fairey test pilot Peter Twiss; a total of two aircraft would be produced. The Delta 2 was the final aircraft to be produced by Fairey as an independent manufacturer.
The Fairey Delta 2 is the first jet aircraft to exceed 1000 mph in level flight,[2] flying faster than the sun moves across the sky. On 10 March 1956, it set a new world speed record of 1,132 mph during a test flight. The Delta 2 held the absolute World Air Speed Record for over a year. It continued to be used for test flights, and was allocated to the Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE) in 1958.

The kit was second-hand and had no transparencies, so the front cockpit is from a spitfire, modified to fit - not perfect but close.
The original decals fell apart so these are theoretical markings.
Enjoy
-
Looks every bit the credible test bed, Scran!
I especially like your work on the canopy. It's a bonus saving a kit like that.
Well done!

Beautiful job!! If this is the old Frog kit (remolded under other names), I'm quite impressed because, IIRC, it didn't come with much in the way of transparencies when new.
-
Yes the VERY old Frog kit.
Side and top transparencies were created by taping over on the outside and using transparency glue (which drys clear)>
I had several vacform Spit canopies - was a matter of trial, cut, trial etc. till it looked reasonable

Wow, that's impressive! Great job on the FD2 :smiley:

Wow you've been busy!
That X-29 is especially sweet.
Great stuff!

Beautiful work, all of it. I will agree with Brian regarding that X-29; it is especially sweat.

Couple more:
first is the Special Hobby 1/72nd D558-2 Skyrocket research aircraft.
Not fun to build, and the gear LOOKED a nightmare - so mounted in a flying pose.

Also a pain to build - the Matchbox 1/72nd Brewster Buffalo.
Had to built this mounted because the plastic is so brittle the gear snapped when I tried to separate it from the sprue

Those are some mighty fine looking models and I especially like the prop blur on that Buffalo!
Well done!
Brian da Basher
-
Cool, cool, cool. All very nice models. I'm with Brian: those prop blurs are terrific. Aftermarket PE or did you make them yourself?
-
the Propblur is all aftermarket - bought about two years ago (1/72nd 4 blades, and several single blades plus soem 1/4th sets)
-
few more finished:
First two are special paint jobs for RAAF Macchi's

Difficult decals to work with - and not the best job I'm afraid. :(
Also, the old Linburgh B70 kit - 1/180th scale.
Bought off Evil Bay, and the seller "Neglected" to mention there was no transparency >:D

I'll use some overhead projecter acete slides or some such to make a canopy eventually.
Decals were also shot so these are theoretical and scavenged from other (1/72nd) kits 8)

That Macchi looks like a million
bucks lira!
