In the continuing lockdown I find myself with unusual amounts of time on my hands.

As a result I have knocked up this F6F from the 1/32 scale Trumpeter kit in about two weeks!

I've now run out of kits, I build models, I don't collect kits, but I have a resin one on its way from Graham at Iconicair, which should be interesting.

Cheers

Here is a 1/32 Revell Ju-88A-1 I just finished for an exhibit in our local aviation museum about Luftwaffe divebombing technology based on the BZA-1 aiming system. The model represents a dive-bomb attack by a Ju-88 from KG-30 on a North Sea/North Atlantic convoy freighter early in the war. I took a few liberties with historical accuracy approved by the museum's curator to make the exhibit more visually appealing (self-made tail fin "ship kill" markings, and the blocks of yellow aren't entirely accurate). Ju-88's most often dive-bombed with 4 bombs and racks, but there were only 2 in stock from aftermarket suppliers, and I didn't have time to wait - so it only got 2. Same with crew figures - only 2 in stock, therefore only pilot and radioman. This was my first use of airbrushing - double action Badger, and I enjoyed gaining that experience very much. The curator wanted an "in action" look, so plenty of weathering, retracted landing gear, prop blurs and dive brakes deployed were a given. The canopy was kept clean so the crew would be visible, providing the "human connection", especially seeing the pilot using the Stuvi-5 sight that displayed the BZA-1's impact point solution. The dropped bomb is suspended from its rack with two very thin parallel monofilaments, so no matter how the aircraft ended up being oriented in the display, the bomb would look "correct". There is room to improve, especially decal silvering, I decided against the red dotted-line decals on the upper wings that denote walk areas. The bottom close-up image is from my workshop, installing the last aerials.

Well, the lockdown continues, and so does the model building.

Next of what is becoming something Henry Ford or the Springfield Armory management would recognise is a 1/32 scale Spiteful. It's a resin kit from Iconicair. I've built their Seafang previously and they are nicely designed and engineered kits, though obviously they are not going to go together like one of the better and modern injection molded kits. My only complaint would be the decals, some of which, for me at least, were unusable. Luckily I've got a substantial spares box for all those little stencils!

The serial number is made up. Originally this was to be RB 523 (hence no yellow stripes on the leading edges of the wings) but that was a set of decals that defeated me!

Just for fun I put the two aircraft, Spiteful and Seafang, together.

Imagine what that pair would be worth if they existed today.

Cheers

Steve
