Pb_Cybermat47 846 Posted January 1, 2015 Very good I've got a load of models right now. At the moment I'm working on a 1/350 Type VIIC U-boat, but I've run out of glue, so things are difficult to say the least Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sallee 479 Posted March 9, 2015 Very nice work. I'm just getting back into it after a brief sabbatical of around 35 years. I'll see if I can get some photos which don't show some of the horrors.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STN 304 Posted March 9, 2015 Don´t worry. There are many horrors to be found on the pictures I posted as well. The only difference between You and me is, that I know exactly where they are And a last one from me for now. 1:72 P-47D Thunderbolt Bubbletop 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sallee 479 Posted March 9, 2015 Very kind of you. I've built up the kind of stash I could only have dreamed of when I was a nipper, including a duplicate LaGG and Il-2 to have another go at. It's really absorbing and helps to forget some of the stresses of real life! I may never produce anything as good as some of the other stuff I've seen, but I'll enjoy myself trying. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All those pics look great to me. I think Modelling is a style thing especially when it comes to choices of how and how not to build. I personally love the builds you have done. Keep it up.

kendo 187 Posted March 20, 2015 Thanks for posting the pictures everyone. Was a modellor myself many years ago.

I,m the same with time I'm building a 32" long X wing fighter at the moment.....on and off. Here's a 32" Skydiver model I made and painted like the effects model and sold last year.

voncrapenhauser 166 Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) LOL, not a Pro by no means, but been at this game a long time now and still learning new techniques . What's that Sallee?, A blacckburn Roc or Skua? I,m no expert on RN or Fleet air arm aircraft. Looks great though. !/72nd ? Here's some vintage jet too. Revell 1/32nd Hunter.

sallee 479 Posted March 27, 2015 Gorgeous Hunter! It's a roc. Ugly brute but I love it. It's 1/72...practising for the 1/48 version. Bit of a thing about rocs and so on at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
voncrapenhauser 166 Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) Thought it was a Roc. Nice to see some different and unusual aircraft for a change, I think Blackburn's designs were no ace aircraft(except the Buccaneer) but they all filled a gap and purpose in their time and served well. Nice one. BTW the Revell Hunter kit is a real beauty, I found no vices in this kit which is a rarity. Edited March 31, 2015 by voncrapenhauser Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sallee 479 Posted March 31, 2015 Yes, I'm in a FAR mood. Have 1/48 skua, roc and fulmar to do. I think Blackburn must have made some of the ugliest aircraft in the world. The Blackburn blackburn springs to mind. Speaking of kits going together well...I had to trim the gun mount down to get the barrels to fit through the transparency but now they don't fit around the hump in the fuselage behind the turret!

My Favourite FAA aircraft is the Sea Fury...I had a R/C Fury a few years back too. I cannot remember the last model I built straight from the box without some form of modifications needed. Sorry, Oh yes I can, it was my Trumpeter 1:24th Spitfire 5b....a truly great Model kit....no build problems at all. A rare thing these days.

I recently finished off building a spray booth so I can get back to modeling. Have a King Tiger waiting on paint and then maybe a Yak 1 I have. Went to a model show 2 weeks ago...They had the new Trumpeter 1:16Tth King Tiger there.....wow!, If only I had the money .... mmmmmm. I have turntables for spraying but not enough room for a spray booth sadly, Good luck with that Keonig look forward to some pics too.

I have Tamiya Il-2 in 1/48 which is supposed to be a gem. It is supposed to be Costa rica government forces 1955. Luckily I got a new canopy and finished the Mustang. Beautiful. Looks appropriately well worn. Interesting subject as well. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
