Melbourne Model Expo (2010)

[Wayne Little]

dunno about this jumping out of a perfectly good aeroplane.....

 

[Airframes]

You'd understand if you saw the way some of them are flown !!!

 

[Wayne Little]

that's a good reason.....

Ok, what mark of Spitty Terry?

 

[Airframes]

Nice. Looks like the MkXIVe which took part in the Edmonton(?) and I think King's Cup air races.

 

[Gnomey]

Certainly is a late series, Griffon Spit, not sure which one though, would go along with Terry though. Nice model!

 

[Airframes]

Oh, it's a MkXIV - just not sure about the air races.

 

[Catch22]

Hmm, that's cool. I would imagine it took part in the air races here, or at the very least it was from Edmonton.

 

[Wayne Little]

Next one up a rather bright looking P-39

 

[Crimea_River]

Not keen on the paint work but nicely put together otherwise.

 

[Gnomey]

With CR here. Not a fan of the paint job but nicely done otherwise.

 

[vikingBerserker]

I like the color, but the texture is a bit odd.

 

[Airframes]

As said, nicely done model, but a failure on the finish. Looks like the final clear coat has 'orange peeled', as the effect is evident overall, including the decals.

 

[Wayne Little]

didn't like the finish myself....

next up a Ki-84.

 

[Crimea_River]

Also a bit heavy on the gloss but not bad otherwise.

 

[Gnomey]

Good one!

 

[vikingBerserker]

I agree with Andy.

 

[Wayne Little]

Now this japanese subject is the opposite....not enough gloss!

 

[javlin]

Come on now Wayne!It's got some gloss on the cowling but should it have some gloss?My thought is that AC in combat would always be flat unless brand new and even then maybe semi.

 

[Gnomey]

Nice one!

 

[Crimea_River]

Cowling doesn't look glossy to me. There are two white lines than appear like a shine but it's pretty flat. I like the model though.
