1st I painted the interior of the fuselage detailing the small mouldings on the size

next the cockpit floor had the same treatment

the fuselage was then joined together

wings added

then the tailplane and undercarrage

next the engine and cowling were painted and assembled with the rest left overnight to harden

the engine and cowling were then fitted

then the dash was made from card and fitted ready for detailing although you won't see much of this,once this has dried i will detail this and fit the rear gun and canopy.

this is a really good quality kit with no flash,if you get the chance try one,thanks for looking

Good work Bob, and you certainly get them together quickly !

i'm afried thats how i am Terry,once i get started and into something i just keep going until i've finished it,if i stop anything due to problems i lose interest and then take ages,last year i restored a DB18 Empress Daimler in 6 weeks from a wreak,i had another DB18 consort in the same condition but i had problems with the paintwork finish and lost interest,that car has taken me 5 years so far and there is not much to do

Thanks for posting that video link. There's some awesome footage in there! STILL waiting on the A-Z 1/48 version...

Andy, I'm fairly sure I saw the AZ kit on the Model Hobbies web-site (I think that's where it was!), available now.

pics show the camo and transfers going on,i finished it off with a coat of matt clear varnish i found in a hardware shop and i'm quite pleased with the result,the kit went together very well,nice and clean

 

[Wurger]

The next quick build. But looking nice.

 

[Airframes]

I agree, and looks like a nice kit too.

 

[Wildcat]

Agreed, the kit doesn't look too bad at all. Well done.

 

[woljags]

i've got another one of these kits ,are there any interesting conversions or markings of units not well know i could try to have a go modeling

 

[Wurger]

You could try to this one. It's a USAAF marked Vultee Vengeance A-35 Target Tug 1944

 

[woljags]

do you know the colours it would have been please

 

[woljags]

RAF Fowlmere airfield, 339th Fighter Group

i found the site where you found the photo,looking at other details i've found it should have black and yellow lines on the underside although its not on this aircraft in the pic

 

[Wildcat]

Or you could do a RAAF target tug scheme or an overall foliage green example8)

 

[woljags]

does anyone know what the target tug towed would have looked like
