Heylo, been busy with work for a bit so not much time to work on this. And I've started an MS 406 aswell, as this is becoming a model to try my hand at new things, which is also good! Best way to learn. I reshaped the air intake with Milliput and tried my hand at the cowling ( I think thats...
Heres where I've got up to, been busy with work and such ><
This kit is really not great at all. Tis riddled with inaccuracies. The hole below the cooler (I think thats what it is ) on the photo is where it came up to originally and was square and sharp edged. The intakes stick out too far and...
Minor quibble aside, thats a beautiful pair of Supermarines you've made there :)
I'm only really starting to like colour schemes like that on the PR version now thanks to seeing nice builds like this.
Have got around to having a go at this again. As I said, the wheel wells were a little shallow so I thought I'd give them a go. Given that this is the first time I've tried something like this, was a little nervous about what to do. But I think so far I've gotten a decent result, just needs a...
Righty, will do :) Thanks.
Any idea on how to make the canopy seem more 'connected' with the fuselage? Theres a little tiny but of gap on the front but I dont want to do anything too drastic.
Heres what she looks like now. Thanks to Evan, she has a finished cockpit! Unfortunately, she'll have to stay this way till the Decals come back in stock >< Or can I ring them up and get them to specifically order some for me from the manufacturer? I have very little experience with these things...
I kinda like it. It has a nice gritty feel to it :) And I agree with Wurger, leave it alone, and if you feel you made a mistake with it, improve your next kit with the information you now know. Personally, I think it looks fine and if the rest of the Spit matches up, you'll have a nice model on...
Thanks guys \o/ Am still not happy with certain parts being too thick or too thin etc. Have always been a bit of a perfectionist when looking at my own artwork as I'm sure many of you are. Is a blessing and a curse ><
Like I said before I used to make a few with my friend about 10 years ago...
It looks good :) Don't put yourself down!
And maybe for the wire, try what Wurger suggested to me. Getting some nylon tights and pulling a thread out.
But aye is grand, I know how big some of the gaps were so you've done an ace job with that.
Also, is it just me or is the canopy...
Thanks guys, still working on the cockpit >< Decided I could do a little more.
I think I'll go for the red wings Dirk, I just seems such a nice unique colour scheme to pass up, even if it might be wrong.
Looking forward to seeeing yours complete :D
While I wait for the final parts of my spit to get together I thought I'd start on something new. I just got a Yak-3 from Hasegawa to go with my Revell Mig-3 and La-5 so I'll be working on this trio of Soviet fighters for a bit. :)
The Revell Mig 3 appears to be the same mould as the...
