I was asked to move the presentation of my completed kits form the basic section to this forum part.

So, here we go ...

Comments always welcome

[CharlieB]

He 176 (with a poor finish) - Condor

[CharlieB]

[CharlieB]

And now to the OPFOR to my Germans:

Spitfire mk V - HobbyCraft

Yak 9 - forgot the maker

The pics are still loading as I type - I think they need to be re-sized before uploading direct to the forum (800 x 600 pixels max).

Würger, I guess you already looked when it was still work in progress, thanks for beeing the first )

Hmmm some might be a tad bigger, but I can see them???????

 

[CharlieB]

OK, If anybody out there can see the pictures - let me know. Otherwise I will have to try again on the weekend...

I hope I didn't sc** up on my second or third post

I understood. It might have been. Anyway you should resize your pictures to the 800 pixels in their width before uplading here. Those larger can cause a problem for computers of different hardware than your one. Please remember about it . It's always better if scrolling is smooth and quick than long waiting for uploading.

BTW.. a nice collection.

Good work!

I like what you have done. The squilly on the 234 and Huma looks quite nice I take it it was hand painted?

 

[meatloaf109]

Nice work!

 

[Wayne Little]

Some mighty fine models mate!

 

[Westfield Charlie]

Very nice models. Congrats from another newbie! I also am interested in the squeebies on your Arado, since I work without an aribrush. They look hand painted, and I am tempted to try the same technique on my own Arado, sitting patiently at the moment in my "build me, build me" pile.

Question: what do you mean by "not recommended" about the Do 335 by Revell. It's the kit I have. Are there fit problems? The instructions seem pretty clear on first reading?

I really like the diorama you built for display. Moving the aircraft one at a time to it is brilliant! I am tempted to do the same kind of thing myself, being much better at diorama work than at aircraft modelling. Is that a large photo behind the diorama?

Again, very nice work.

Hi Javelin,

as I admitted in another thread: I never mastered airbrushing. I use sometimes Tamiya rattle cans but mostly brushes. I try to use the same techniques, as in applying several thin layers etc.

Everbody else: thanks for your kind comments, the low resolution pictures help

I am here to learn
