from my egg-P-38 topic http://beyondthesprues.com/Forum/index.php?topic=7061.45 (http://beyondthesprues.com/Forum/index.php?topic=7061.45) :
Thanks Brian! Your so nice words make me chose my next model (or couple of models*) will be for here and not for the other (old) site...
* : mixed Sturmfire & Spitvogel, 1/144, basis ordered today...
Yes, my new project is a mix of Spitfire and Me-262:
-
I wanted to mix Me-262 and Mustang, but the Mustang 1/144 was not currently available, so I replaced it with a Spitfire 1/144, a little more expensive. Alas today when I go to get the pictures of boxes, the Me2-262 is no more available... Either they took the last one for me, OK, or they checked and found none, so my one will be delivered much later... I will see.
-
The word "Dual" on the Spitfire kit makes me think there are 2 planes per box, but probably not. Anyway I have dreamed of twins:
-
If you Wonder why these colors, I must explain: these models are the stars of a love story that I have written. Probably nobody here reads French, but I give you the link anyway: http://www.kristofmeunier.fr/MCT_Tom21.pdf (http://www.kristofmeunier.fr/MCT_Tom21.pdf) . These are the pages 85-87 of this group of short stories, currently final, but writing other short stories will go on. :)

Interesting project Cristophe :)
The box contains two kits,the wings are cast in one piece,and you have two diferent types,the normal eliptical type and the clipped type.

Thanks Alex!
So here is the updated project: (with a Twin-Sturmfire and biplane push-pull Spitvogel-141)
-
Either they took the last one for me, OK, or they checked and found none, so my one will be delivered much later... I will see.
I have been informed this evening that I am going to receive soon both kits.
-
As I have no second Me-262 for the internal wing, I must correct a little my project (and I have no pink paint also):

I consider a biplane tailplane on this one, too, unsure...
-
I received both kits today, for 3 models that I will turn into 2:

Thanks!
And before butchering, a little standard building has to be made (on these tiny cute things):

??? :icon_sueno: :icon_crap: Oh, Lord, the butcher committed his crimes...:
-
Interesting build, the eduard 1/144 kits seem to be high quality, aren't them?

Yes, Eduard plastic is very good.
But here is a view of the hospital, where the poor wounded parts got surgery:
-
Artificial flesh (nicknamed "putty") is good for aesthetic repair surgery:
-
putty, sanding, repeat... :)
-
Well advanced but not finished, so putty again...
-
It begins to take shape :)
-
Yes, seriously taking shape now... ;)
-
wow your idea is taking shape!
;)
-
wah :)
-
My son jacky, 8 year old, helped me finishing with his little fingers, ready for paint :
-
With the first layer of paint, they are no more compound fantasy but serious models, almost "realist"... ;)
-
Twin-Sturmfire and biplane push-pull Spitvogel-141
Now completed, finished... :)
-
Those two little airplanes look quite interesting now that I see them finished.
I like them both :)
-
Apologies for arriving a bit late to the party but once again you've built a couple of models that are so imaginative they border on sculptural works of art, mon ami!
The asymmetric placement of that push-pull propeller engine could be your signature, Tophe!
Great stuff and an absolute delight! I especially like your tinted canopies and these are very well done.

Thanks again!
