Thanks alot guys for your really nice comments. I've started my next build today. My 1/225 HMS Victory model. So far, its turning out ok. I think. lol Andy

For anybody who loves 1/32 scale aircraft, this has got to be must have WingScale 1:32 B-17G Flying Fortress This sure does look to be a cracking model. Can't wait to see the reviews of it when it finally comes out next yr. Might be tempted myself. :lol::lol::lol:

Thanks Airframes. Coming from you, that means a lot. :thumbright: Now to start my next build. A Revell's 1/225 HMS Victory. As this is my 1st ever boat build, this should prove interesting, to say the least. :oops:

Thanks for that Airframes. Will defo look out for them. Well I've finally finished my 1st model. Took me about 5hrs today to finish off the decals. I can honestly say I really enjoyed doing this. OK, its not perfect by all means, but its a start, and like everyone says, you have to start...

Thats the fella Dirk. Not been able to find a dirt cheap one over here yet though.

Thanks for your comments guys. Dirk it took about 3 coats to get the olive green just right, mainly because i used a different brush on the 2nd coat, and I didn't like the look of it, so I tried again with the 1st brush. I started putting on the decals this afternoon, and I'm half way through...

Thanks Wurger. Considering I painted it all with a brush it didn't turn out too bad I recon. Just a few little things left to attach and then it on to the decals. oh joy :rolleyes:

Finally managed to do some more on my 1st model. Spent yesterday painting and I think it's turned out a lot better than I expected it too. Here are some photo's of my progess.

Looks nice. Welcome back Aaron

Sorry about the pics. I did resize them before uploading. They were originally 2 meg in size. Don't know what happened when I uploaded them. I'll double check next time before uploading. Andy

Thanks guys. I did my first top colour coat last night. Need to do another coat today and then I will take some more pics. 2 of the engines keep falling off, no matter how much paint I put on. It's driving me nuts.

Glad it turned up Pete. Its a nice kit. Basic mind you but nice. The B-17G is a lot more detailed from what I have read and seen. Enjoy you kit. I know I am. :lol::lol::lol:

Ok as promised here are some pics I took the other day. Please be gentle with me after seeing them lol The top under coat needs another coat before I can start mixing the colours for the final scheme. The reason why there is only 3 engines on the sucker is because 1 fell off yesterday :oops...

Finally managed to get some more of this build done this week. She is now fully assembled and had a coat of light grey to act as a primer. Will try to take some pics later on. Need to find the charger for the camera.As its my birthday day, I received the Airfix 1/350th HMS Illustrious from the...

Totally speechless. Words alone can't describe what an excellent masterpiece you have created.
